COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

Real Questions. Expert Answers.

The questions our community asks most — answered by the IM Maldives team. Join our Facebook group to ask your own.

Which Maldives resort is best for families with young children?

Family-friendly resorts like Dhigali Maldives, Club Med Kani, and Kandima Maldives offer dedicated kids' clubs, shallow lagoons, and family villa categories. The best choice depends on your children's ages and preferred budget tier. Our community members share first-hand family travel experiences daily in the group.

What is the best time of year to visit the Maldives?

The dry season runs from November to April — the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings the southwest monsoon but also lower rates and excellent diving on the eastern atolls. Many experienced travelers prefer the shoulder months of May and October for the best balance of value and weather.

Overwater villa or beach villa — which is better value?

Overwater villas offer direct lagoon access and iconic views, but beach villas often have larger footprints, private gardens, and easier access to resort facilities at a meaningfully lower price. For families with children or guests who value space and privacy, beach villas frequently offer better overall value. Both have passionate fans in our community.

How much does a Maldives holiday actually cost?

Resort packages in the Maldives typically range from $500 to $3,000+ per person depending on resort category, villa type, and time of year. Seaplane transfers add $400–600 per person return for many resorts. A well-planned trip for two covering 7 nights — accommodation, transfers, and activities — often falls between $8,000 and $20,000. Our team will put together a detailed proposal matched exactly to your dates and travel style.

Is the Maldives worth it for solo travellers?

Yes. Resorts like Kandima, Kuramathi, and Amari Havodda are known for their social atmosphere and strong diving and watersports programmes that naturally bring solo guests together. Our team can match you to the right resort based on your travel style, preferred activities, and budget.

Raaya by Atmosphere or Dhigali Maldives — which is better for a family with a toddler?

Both are excellent family choices. Dhigali is well-established with a proven kids' club and shallow lagoon areas well-suited to young children. Raaya is newer and more design-forward with a strong food and beverage offering. For a family with a toddler specifically, Dhigali's shallower lagoon and more relaxed pace tend to suit younger children slightly better — but both are worth serious consideration.
