How to Travel on a Budget in Maldives

The Maldives may be renowned as the pinnacle of luxury, but savvy travellers know there's more than one way to relish in its mesmerising beauty. At Kandima Maldives, we make it possible to experience a dreamy island getaway that offers incredible value. We welcome you to explore our endless activities and unforgettable adventures, making the best of the Maldives accessible to everyone. Here's how you can enjoy the ultimate island (desti)nation while on a budget.

Enjoy Exclusive Book Direct Benefits

Book direct with Kandima and score seriously stylish perks that make your Maldives escape even sweeter! Enjoy the best price guaranteed, 10% off your stay, and free stays and meals for two kids under six years. Plus, get discounts on spa treatments, water sports, and excursions, along with a complimentary photo shoot for memories that last. With 24-hour check-in/out and special honeymooner benefits, you'll get more bang for your buck while soaking up paradise. 

Travel During the Off-Peak Season for Lower Rates

For a budget-friendly Maldives experience, consider visiting during the off-peak season (May to October). While this period falls during the monsoon season, the Maldives still enjoys warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. This means you can still enjoy plenty of sunny days while taking advantage of lower rates and special promotions. It's a win-win for travellers looking to get the most out of their island escape.

 

Plan Ahead for Excursions

Make the most of your time at Kandima by booking excursions and activities in advance and with our book-direct benefits you get to enjoy 15% off on excursions and watersports at Aquaholics. Choose a few must-do experiences, like a sunset cruise or dolphin quest. Additionally, if you wish to explore the underwater world, join one of our six complimentary snorkelling sessions that take place daily from HQ. Discover the beauty of the house reef, home to a vibrant array of fish, diverse corals, and other marine species. This approach keeps your budget balanced while still allowing you to enjoy the best the Maldives has to offer.

 

Stay in Style Without the Splurge

Our Sky & Beach Studios are perfect for those looking for a chic yet affordable escape. Step into your own oh-so-stylish haven, with stunning views of the island's turquoise lagoon stretching over the treetops. Plus, the beach is just a short stroll away, inviting you to revel in endless fun in the sun whenever you wish. Soak up the best of both worlds—seriously stylish interiors and unbeatable access to the sandy shores—all at a price that's friendly on your wallet.
