The Maldives are tropical islands with a mild climate, gentle sea and wonderful white sand beaches. For most Russians, rest in this paradise seems inaccessible due to the high cost of the flight and expensive hotels. However, a couple of weeks in the Maldives won't cut a hole in your family budget if you organize your vacation wisely.

Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
Refuse the services of a travel agency. Paperwork, purchase of air tickets, hotel accommodation - all these services are included in the scope of the travel agency, and you will have to pay a lot of money for their implementation.
Step 2
Study the information on the Internet about the rest in the Maldives. Visit specialized websites and travel forums. Chat with people who have already rested in the Maldives as "savages", from them you can learn a lot of useful information.
Step 3
Purchase tickets after careful comparison of prices in various airlines. It will be more profitable for residents of St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and other western cities of Russia to buy tickets from German or Scandinavian airlines, having previously reserved them via the Internet. Of course, in order to travel to these countries, you must have the appropriate documents, the registration of which should be taken care of in advance.
Step 4
Book the hotel yourself via the Internet. Explore the websites of various hotels in the Maldives and choose the room that suits your budget. Please note that accommodation prices may fluctuate throughout the year. During the tourist season, i.e. during the summer holidays and during the Christmas holidays, they rise significantly.
Step 5
Try to save on food. To do this, in advance, ask people who have visited the Maldives where there are inexpensive coffee and restaurants. If you manage to rent a small bungalow or a room with a kitchenette, you can cook on your own by purchasing food from the local markets.
Step 6
Take advantage of special offers from travel agencies. Last minute tours are the easiest way to have an inexpensive vacation in the Maldives. Unfortunately, the number of such offers is extremely small, so keep an eye on the last-minute deals market so as not to miss your chance.
