Maldives Honeymoon from India: Costs, Best Months and Resort Types

The Maldives is the classic honeymoon: one island per resort, a lagoon at your door and sunsets with no crowds. It does not have to be unaffordable if you choose the right resort type.

Resort islands vs guesthouse islands

**Resort islands** are private. You get overwater or beach villas, meal plans, house reefs and spa treatments. Prices are higher but everything is included on the island.

**Guesthouse islands** like Maafushi and Thulusdhoo are local islands with smaller hotels, excursions you book separately and much lower prices. They suit couples who want the lagoon without the full resort bill.

Best months

November to April is the dry season with the clearest water and calm seas. May to October brings showers and noticeably lower rates, and many couples still enjoy the sunshine between rain.

Getting there

There are no direct flights from Kolkata. Most itineraries connect through Chennai, Bengaluru or Colombo, taking five to six hours in total. Indian citizens receive a free 30-day visa on arrival with confirmed accommodation and a return ticket.

What to book in advance

Transfers by seaplane or speedboat depend on the resort and must be reserved. A sandbank picnic and a sunset dolphin cruise sell out in peak season.
