Maldives hotels under $2,500 for a week for two

A holiday in the Maldives does not necessarily require a huge budget. Even with up to 2,500 dollars for two people, you can spend a week by the ocean and choose not only among guesthouses on local islands, but also among full island resorts. We have collected Maldives hotels where 7 nights can fit within this budget. Prices depend on the season, room category and travel dates, so treat them as a guideline.

In the Wiotto catalogue, the final price already includes the transfer from the main international airport in the Maldives to the hotel and back.

Embudu Village Resort

Transfer: about 20 minutes by speedboat.

Embudu Village allows you to spend a holiday on a separate resort island rather than a local island on a relatively small budget. The hotel is only 20 km from Malé Airport. There is no large-scale infrastructure like at big resorts, but there is a beach, the ocean and a good house reef that can be reached directly from the shore. Beach bungalows among the greenery and overwater villas above the lagoon are available for accommodation. The island has a dive centre and Serena Spa, and offers water activities and sea excursions.

Prices: about 2,200 dollars for 7 nights for two people in a spacious beach bungalow with full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
