All Inclusive Maldives Holidays
Understand what’s included, what isn’t, and which islands truly offer the best value
All Inclusive in the Maldives Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
All inclusive holidays to the Maldives can look similar on the surface, but the experience varies dramatically from island to island.
What’s included, how flexible dining is, and whether excursions or premium drinks are part of the package all depend on the resort you choose.
Some islands offer comprehensive all inclusive plans that cover multiple restaurants, activities, and experiences. Others take a simpler approach that works well for travellers who value ease and predictability over variety.
Understanding these differences before you book is the key to getting real value — and avoiding disappointment.
What’s Usually Included — And What Might Not Be
In the Maldives, all inclusive packages typically cover meals and drinks, but the details matter. Some resorts include buffet dining only, while others allow access to à la carte restaurants. Premium drinks, in-villa dining, and excursions may or may not be included.
Transfers are another key consideration. Some all inclusive packages include speedboat transfers, while seaplane transfers are often charged separately — something that can significantly affect the final cost.
We help you understand exactly what’s included in each resort’s plan, so there are no surprises once you arrive.
Is All Inclusive Right for You?
All inclusive holidays work particularly well for travellers who want to relax without constantly thinking about costs. Knowing meals and drinks are covered allows you to switch off completely.
They’re also ideal for couples who plan to spend most of their time on the island, enjoying the beach, pool, and spa rather than venturing off on excursions every day.
For some travellers, however, a half board or full board option paired with the right resort can offer better value. Choosing correctly is more important than choosing all inclusive by default.
Common All Inclusive Booking Mistakes
One of the most common mistakes is assuming all inclusive means the same thing everywhere. Another is focusing on price alone, without considering how dining options, island size, or transfer costs affect the overall experience.
Some travellers also choose all inclusive when they don’t actually need it, paying more for inclusions they won’t use. Our role is to help you decide when all inclusive genuinely enhances your holiday — and when it doesn’t.

Rather than listing every all inclusive resort, we focus on understanding how you want your
