Travel to Maldives

[jeremyclarkson]

I've always wanted to take my girlfriend to the Maldives for a romantic getaway. Is it very expensive there? I always thought that the Maldives was for the very rich!:) what's the cuisine and locals like? any ideas?

hi,

It is true that the Maldives is popular with the rich but in today's economic climate, you can find many bargains to the Maldives. In fact, the summer is the best time to find many cheap flights to the islands because of the European summer season.

Augusts is a perfect time to find many deals. For instance, many tour operators already give deals but look for "buy 7 days, get 3 free" deals - ask your travel agent for this.

In the Maldives, you will encounter a variety of cultural influences such as African influences in music, and south Asian influences in foods.

English is spoken widely across the islands, and in the resorts, the staff is also known to speak German, French, and Italian. The US dollar is accepted in many of the resorts as well.

I had my sister travel to Maldives. The place is very cozy and peaceful. Food is awsome. The natives are friendly ..they are mostly of Islamic faith.
