Maldives travel guide: You can become an "island owner" with a monthly salary of 5K!

💡 Core Principles: The Maldives is not exclusive to rich people! Choose the right island, eat the right fish, play in the right sea, and you can still enjoy the "bankrupt version of luxury". --- 🏖️ One, attraction recommendation: do not spend money can be cool! 1. Male City (Male) - Mini Capital, 1 hour to walk around -Fish Market: Watch tuna auctions and pretend to be a seafood tycoon (and then can’t afford it). -Friday Mosque: Built in coral stone, older than your small area at home. - Local cafe: Drink a cup of "Maldives milk tea", sweet to doubt life. - Humor Tips: "Male is so young that navigation is too lazy to figure out routes, but at least you can say 'I went around the capital today'!" 2. Local Islands – a paradise for poor travelers - Recommended Islands: - Maafushi: Backpacker's stronghold, $50 for a sea view room! - Guraidhoo: Snorkeling is super cheap and you can chat with the locals. - Tips: "Residential island = no private pool, but 'the whole Indian Ocean' as your bathtub!" 3. Snorkeling & Diving – Not diving equals coming in vain! - Recommended Points: - Banana Reef: There are so many corals that they resemble an undersea vegetable market. - Shipwreck diving: For example, the Victory, suitable for filming the same style as Pirates of the Caribbean. - Tips: "Can't swim? It doesn't matter, the life jacket will make you float like a sea turtle - just slower than it." 4. Blue Tears Beach (Vaadhoo Island) – Watch “Avatar Special Effects” for free - How to play: Go to the beach at night and step on it, the sea water will glow! - Tips: "The caption in the circle of friends: 'The Maldives has lit up the stars for me' is definitely not plankton dancing to the disco." --- 🍽️ Second, food recommendation: eat fish to eat full! 1. Tuna, the national delicacy of the Maldives - Must eat: - Mas Huni (tuna + coconut + pizza): Breakfast artifact, can swim 3 kilometers after eating. - Garudhiya (fish soup bubble rice): Fresh enough to make you forget that you are poor. - Tips: “The tuna here is busier than you are at work – making salads in the morning, curry at noon, toasted at night.” 2. Roadside stall snacks—cheap and filling - Recommended: - Hedhikaa** (fried fish balls): $1/piece, eat 3 to top a meal. - Raa (coconut milk drink): Cheaper than Starbucks and won’t give you insomnia. - Tips: “In the Maldives, the most expensive thing is not seafood, it’s the tears you shed after you forget to bargain.” --- 🏡 Third, accommodation recommendation: not bankrupt can stay in a sea view room! 1. Residential Island B&B ($50-100/night) - Recommended: - "Arena Lodge" in Mafushi - right out the door, the boss will teach you how to bargain. - The "Guraidhoo Inn" in Gulidu - small but clean rooms and more than your determination WiFi. 2. Budget resorts ($200-$300/night) - Recommended: - Blue Canna (Thulhagiri Island) - There are water houses, but the price is reasonable. - Bandos Island - old-fashioned four-star, easy snorkeling, family-friendly. - Tips: "The secret to choosing an island: Look at the price, and if your heart beats faster, get a cheaper one." --- 💰 Four, the ultimate secret of saving money 1. Transportation: Speedboats are cheaper than seaplanes, but crazy to doubt life. 2. Food and drink: Dining on a residential island is 50% cheaper than at a resort! 3. Activities: Snorkeling yourself free, follow the boat out to sea to pay. 4. Souvenirs: Don’t buy coral (illegal), just bring some dried fish. --- 🎉 One last word of truth: “No matter how expensive the Maldives is, seawater is free! You just need to- A swimming ring, a pair of sunglasses, and a ‘poor but happy’ heart! ' 🌊Now, let’s go! (Remember to bring sunscreen, no one will compensate for sunburn)😎
