Star classification and price of Maldives islands

There are many tourists visiting Maldives every year, but you must be prepared before going to Maldives, because there are operations such as choosing islands and hotels. If you don't do your homework in advance, you may not have a good experience.

Are there any interesting water flights?

Although the scenery in Tahiti, reunion island and Cook Islands is also very good, there is almost no water to fly. The underwater Maldives is simply beautiful. This pearl-like island chain and this endless lake are unique to Malaysia.

And to appreciate this beautiful scenery, you can only watch the spray fly.

Sit and watch the sea.

There are three main landscapes on the island. The most common way is to sit on the mountain and watch the sea. Many island hotels in Southeast Asia are like this, especially the cliff hotel in Bali.

Sit and watch the sea mainly in Madai, and the average elevation of Maldives is above 1. With a sandy beach with a tail, an endless swimming pool and transparent floors, the hotel in Madai is still the ultimate in sitting and watching the sea.

Sitting on the sea and looking at the mountains is the highest realm, and there is only Tahiti in the world.

The hotel is good and there are many choices.

There are too many good hotels in Madai. Nautilus, Liu Shan, I&; Only, White Horse Manor, Sonivayani ......

Although Bora Bora also has many good hotels (Four Seasons, Intercontinental, St. Regis), overall, compared with luxury hotels in Madai, there is still a certain gap in the old and new degree and hotel quality.

In addition, it is much more convenient to go to Madai than to Tahiti, Cook Islands, reunion island and Caribbean Islands. So Maldives is irreplaceable.

Introduction: 1. Where is Maldives?

Maldives is located about 600 kilometers south of India and 750 kilometers southwest of Sri Lanka. This archipelago country in the Indian Ocean.

The total land area is 90 thousand square kilometers, of which the land area is only 298 square kilometers. In other words, 99.67% of this country is in the sea.

2. How to get to Maldives?

When there is no epidemic, many cities in China can fly directly to Madai. There are direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunming, Hong Kong and Taipei, and even Wuhan, Xi and Tianjin occasionally have direct flights to Ma Dai.

Alternatively, you can transfer to Singapore (Singapore Airlines), Kuala Lumpur (AirAsia), Bangkok (Thai Airways or other stopovers), Colombo (Singapore Airlines), Dubai (Emirates) and Doha (Qatar Airways).

If you buy your own hotel and book a plane ticket, the chances of connecting flights will be greater (mainly Kunming, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and Colombo).

Here is a little knowledge. Why do you see that the flight to and from Madai is 6 days and 4 nights, or 7 days and 5 nights?

In fact, this is mainly related to the sales policy of Madai Hotel. Hotels mainly charter travel agencies for 4 nights, so over time, some charter flights have become 6 days and 4 nights and 7 days and 5 nights.

Six days and four nights is the morning shift, and seven days and five nights is the night shift (one end will be arranged to stay in Male for one day).

If you buy your own plane ticket, you are not limited by the flight time.

Of course, the flight is to Male, the capital of Maldives, and you still need to continue to take speedboats, water flights and internal flights to those one island and one hotel in Madai.

3. How to choose an island that you have been experiencing for 90% of your time in Madai? Scenery, snorkeling and room are really the most important elements.

Because most of the islands in Madai are small, some islands can complete a circle around the island in 10- 15 minutes. If you want to stay on an island for four nights, you must find a hotel with a good view, a good room and even good food (in fact, it is very difficult).

This is actually the difference between Madai and Tahiti and Reunion. Tahiti and Reunion are really too playable.

And Madai, in most cases, your activities are actually on and around your island (going to sea).

How to choose an island, data control means that the parameters are correct. Although parameters don't mean everything, it's easy for you to finish the primary election.

Madai's choice of islands mainly depends on the following parameters:

Snorkeling height

Snorkeling grades are divided into three categories: a, b and C.

A-class island (very suitable for diving, excellent coral reef protection, can be launched almost anywhere) Bandos Island is only a 4 Sing Tao, but snorkeling is A-class.

Others are over-developed because there are no water houses, such as Banyan Tree Wabinfaru and Ihulu. They dive well. There are also some old islands with good snorkeling protection in the early and late stages, such as Felicio and Miehlich.

There are also some newly developed islands, such as Douste, Intercontinental, Miledu Lake and Kudadu, which are located on local environmental protection atolls in Maldives, so snorkeling is very good.

B-class island (good snorkeling, good coral protection and the best launching point)

C-class island (diving environment is relatively general, suitable for guests who have no requirements for snorkeling)

Generally speaking, islands with coral reefs are more suitable for snorkeling.

For people who like snorkeling, it is more appropriate to choose a-class island for snorkeling. Of course, due to the heat in Maldives, beautiful and colorful corals are basically gone, and there are still many fish.

Of course, a lot of information on the Internet is inaccurate. Just because someone tells you that this island is snorkeling A doesn't mean that this island is really snorkeling A. You have to judge for yourself.

So how to judge? Actually, it's very simple. Just look at Google.

A satellite map of the map will do.

The picture below shows the banyan tree in Madai. We can see from the satellite map that there are corals all around. If there are corals, there will be a lot of marine fish, and snorkeling will see more things.

And below, it's KihaaMaldives (formerly known as Djihad). You can see that there are few corals on the satellite map. Snorkeling without coral island is really bad.

You can see many things on the satellite map. Why not recommend Djihad at all? Look how close this island is to the residential island. Do you think the holiday experience can be better?

Of course, some high-end islands have poor snorkeling environment, but they will take guests out to sea for snorkeling.

After all, Maldives is not big and its land area is small. Good locations (close distance, good snorkeling and good beach) are occupied by some established hotels, so new hotels can only settle for the second best.

Beach grade

The beach is also divided into three categories: A, B and C, with A being the best and C being the worst. The beach grade is generally the first choice for children (after all, children love to dig sand). The beaches are good, such as Pisces Island, Magic Fuji, Central Grand, Angaga and Merleav. The beaches on these islands are better.

In addition, it is best to look at the beach grade to see if there is a long tail beach. Couples or girlfriends suggest finding an island with a long tail beach when they are on vacation. Taking pictures is simply fairy.

As for how to see if there is a long tail beach on the island you are going to? The satellite map will tell you.

Hotel grade

In Madai, because it is an island and a hotel, the level of the island is equal to the star rating of the hotel. Four Sing Tao, Five Star Island, Six Sing Tao and Seven Star Island, which we often talk about, are basically hotels.

But it is a blind method to choose the island only by star rating. It can only be said that it is the most correct as one of the screening items.

Sixing Island: It is often built earlier and belongs to the old-fashioned island. Generally, the level of snorkeling is better.

At present, in order to cooperate with air ticket sales, domestic travel agencies generally take four Sing Tao sales. People who are keen on high cost performance and have been to Maldives many times will choose more.

After all, its snorkeling and beach itself are still very good. Sing Tao's budget is mostly below 1 10,000, which is included in the cost of air tickets.

I won't introduce the four Sing Tao in detail. Seriously, you might as well go to Koh Samui, Bali, Semporna and other places and choose a good hotel to lie down.

More cost-effective and more fun.

Five-star Island: It's a little better than Four Sing Tao, and it's also the first choice for most people to go to Madai.

However, this five-star island is also graded. There are five-star luxury islands such as Pisces Island, Kulamati, Lu Xun Nunu, Central Grand, ammari and Valu Island, which can be called five stars.

In particular, Kuramati Island has the longest trailing beach in Maldives, which is 1.8km long.

Luxury five-star products include Illuville, Pullman, Xiaosi Season and so on, among which Xiaosi Season's service is first-class among the five stars.

The off-season budget of Wuxing Island is between 1.2 million -2 1 10,000.

Six Sing Tao, better than Five Star Island, is the choice of the rich.

Six stars are the same as five stars, but there are differences. For example, Nanlix Island, Fairy Coral Island, Mofanbi Island and Ozen Island are all six-star.

The budget of Sing Tao is between 18000-25000. It is suggested that Madai's honeymoon and family vacation can focus on Six Sing Tao. Starting from these islands is the meaning of going to Madai.

In particular, many Six Sing Tao have preferential policies for children and only need to collect environmental taxes. Moreover, if there is promotion, Six Sing Tao is not expensive.

For example, on JV Island in Jumeirah, the breakfast and dinner in the air ticket hotel add up to 1.4 million, or a 400-square-meter two-bedroom water villa, which is really cost-effective. Unfortunately, the price is gone forever, and now it is said that the off-season has more than doubled.

Seven Star Island, there are not many that can be called Seven Star Island. Now agents are called Top Island instead of Seven Star Island. Anyway, it will be very expensive. If it is expensive, everything will be fine.

The places frequented by celebrities include LV Baima Manor, Sony Eva Fuji slide with water, all-inclusive Kudadu, Internet celebrities, Beilix Island, Velaa Private Island, and Nautilus in Lorai Xia Duo.

The off-season budget of Qixing Island is basically between 30,000 and 50,000 people. This span is a bit big.

There is also a private island. There are only a few rooms on the island, and there are only a few pairs of guests on the island. This is your world completely. For example, there are only seven villas in Four Seasons Private Island, which only accepts the services of Baodao Island.

There is no ceiling on the budget of private islands.

In addition to the star rating of the island, you can also focus on the year when the island (hotel) was built or rebuilt.

If it was renovated before 2000, it is suggested to ignore it directly.

20 19 Xinkai Valu Island, North Lux Island, Mamouna Ancient Intercontinental Resort Hotel, Louville, Treasure Island, Waldorf Astoria, Lai Francis Blackwell Forbes, Baglioni, Hard Rock and Sai.

Lagoon, Moon Bay coral, Moon Bay luxury and other islands.

The 20 19 of Funawash Island in Maldives recommended a few days ago is open.

There are many islands and hotels in Madai, and the competition pressure between them is also great. Why not choose a new hotel?

Hotel (island) location

There is an old map that roughly shows the location of Madai Island (hotel).

One island and one hotel in Maldives are basically around several major atolls (Ha Aref Atoll, Noru Atoll, Lavyani Atoll, La Atoll, Ba Atoll, Male North Atoll, South Atoll, etc ...), and the time to go to the island is different.

Nearby speedboat, medium-distance water flight, long-distance internal flight+speedboat.

So when choosing an island, you might as well pay attention to the location of the island. Not necessarily as close as possible, but at least an island with a moderate distance from men will be relatively convenient.

Also, try to avoid the island on the side.

Specific highlights of some hotels (islands)

Some underwater restaurants on the island (Ozen, AKV, Lavali, You &；; Me), some islands have underwater spas (Fuhuafen Island), some islands have underwater bars (Ma Niya), some islands have underwater suites (Li Gang), and recently there are more popular water slides (Soneva).

Jani) ......

In addition, there are the above-mentioned beaches with long tails (Coco, Fuji fallow, Finoff Island, Kulamati, Labari, South Lux Lux, Senior Four Seasons ...).

Big move-look at the map and choose the island

The most obvious is the satellite map, which can be seen by googlemap. You can see corals, long beaches and hotel facilities. ......

The picture below shows Maday Conrad. Although Conrad is old, he really has a unique environment.

As can be seen from the satellite images, Conrad is a double island with lakes, corals and a large number of water houses.

Nanlux has been selling very cheaply, mainly because the island's innate advantages are too bad. There are several lakes, corals and long trailing beaches. At the same time, the distance from Male is moderate, and the hotel is not bad.

Satellite images are photos without PS, and you can also look at aerial images after reading them.

Reggie is from Madai, and her national husband Wang Sicong has been there. If you look at the coral area next to the water house, you will know that snorkeling must be great by looking at the pictures. Actually, it's true. It is said that turtles can often be seen snorkeling on this island.

In addition, aerial photos are also the easiest to see the quality of the beach.

Then, look at the hotel facilities map.

From the facilities map, we can see the size of the island, the number of public facilities and the number of water houses and sand houses. Nobody wants the public area to be small, but there are many rooms.

As well as areas where snorkeling is allowed and areas where snorkeling is prohibited.

Coupled with the "cheat" in Ins and Little Red Book, it is not difficult for Ma Dai to choose the island anyway. It is difficult to choose the most suitable island in a balanced way within a limited budget.

Island activities

For people who can't stay at home, it is necessary to pay attention to the activities on the island. Generally speaking, activities on Madai Island are relatively lacking compared with other islands. Tourism resources are the sea, and there is not much to play. Some projects may be provided, such as picnicking on uninhabited islands, chasing dolphins on sunset cruise ships, deep diving at sea, and visiting turtles to hatch eggs. These projects can be found in official website of these islands.

In addition, honeymoon needs are different from parent-child needs. Although 90% of Madai hotels do not restrict children to stay, some Madai hotels are only open to adults.

The most extreme examples are ClubMed's Carney Island, Fino Island and Marriott's W.

It must be strange for couples to go to Carney Island. It should be even more inappropriate for children to go to W. Oh, by the way, children are not allowed to go to Madai W's island.

4. There are generally three ways to go to the island, namely speedboat, water flying, internal flying and speedboat (water flying).

steamship

The speedboats are all within 80 kilometers from the capital, usually within 10-45 minutes.

The advantage is that you can go to the island by speedboat at any time, but the disadvantage is that it will be bumpy.

Grinding herbs with water

80- 150 km generally chooses water flying. 16 people fly in the water, propeller planes, there will be noise.

You must fly to Madai, which is the characteristic of Madai. The threshold for Ma Shuidai to fly is really not high, but it is very difficult for you to fly in Tahiti.

Internal flight+speedboat (water flight)

/kloc-more than 0/50 km, you will generally choose to fly inside, which is the least recommended choice, and it is too tossing. And the flight time is not easy to connect (often need to spend the night in Male).

But there are some distant islands, and there is really no way.

It's rare to go to Madai once, can you jump more islands?

In most cases, Madai's island jumping is a transit back to Male, and there is no mode of transportation between several islands. Of course, now because of the efforts of Madai Hotel Group, some hotel groups have introduced the 2+2 option. For example, two clubs, Conrad and waldorf.

Medicine, the four seasons, these ... are connected by speedboats.

5. When will you go?

The best month to travel in Madai is 10 to April of the following year, which is a dry season, and May to 10 is a rainy season every year.

There is less rain in dry season, mostly sunny, and it doesn't rain every day in rainy season, but the probability of rain is higher than that in dry season.

But for China people, even in rainy season, the ticket price of Madai is not cheap, because it is the summer vacation from July to August. Therefore, it is the most correct way to travel in the summer vacation to see airlines and other hotels booking summer vacation tickets in advance.

Maldives is suitable for tourism all year round. It has a tropical rainforest climate. Even if it rains, it is mostly showers. The annual average temperature is 28℃. It won't be very cold in winter in China.

6. Some proper terms about Madai

It is estimated that when travel agencies buy goods, they will often see them.

HB is brunch, FB is brunch, BB is just breakfast, AI includes not only three meals, but also non-alcoholic drinks and some alcoholic drinks, and even some activities on the island.

In addition, the all-inclusive price is only suitable for China people, and there are not many truly luxurious islands.
