Maldives 8,000 yuan for seven days

📍Address: Rasdhoo Residential Island 1. **Super cost-effective** - **8,000 yuan per person** covers accommodation, food and activities, which is much lower than the resort island (usually 20,000+ per person). - Suitable for tourists with limited budget but want to experience the essence of Maldives. 2. **Pristine ecological environment** - Preserve local culture, simple folk customs, and slow pace of life. - Pristine natural scenery: Jelly Sea, white sand beach, and coral reefs are within easy reach. 3. **Rich water activities** - **Snorkeling/free diving**: The coral reef ecology around the island is excellent, and you can encounter sea turtles and coral fish. - **Sea activities**: Sea fishing, sunset cruises, and dolphin cruises are affordable (about $20-40/person). - **Diving**: There are famous diving spots nearby (such as Rasdhoo Madivaru, where hammerhead sharks can be seen). - **Non-motorized water activities**: Kayaks and paddle boards are usually provided free of charge or at a low price. 4. **Enough infrastructure** - There are small supermarkets, local restaurants, and simple cafes. - Accommodation is mainly guesthouses, which are clean and comfortable, and include breakfast. --- ### **⚠️ Notes** 1. **Simple facilities** - No luxury resort facilities (infinity pool, spa, etc.), suitable for those who seek natural experience. - Power/network may be unstable, it is recommended to bring a mobile power bank. 2. **Transportation** - **Speedboat**: Male Airport→Rasdhoo (about 1.5 hours, $80-$100/one way). - **Public transportation boat**: cheap but time-consuming (about 4 hours, 3 flights per week, $15-$20). 3. **Limited dining options** - Local restaurants mainly serve Maldivian curry, grilled fish, and simple meals, with an average of $8-$15 per meal. - You can bring your own snacks or book a seafood barbecue from the guesthouse. --- ### **💡 Itinerary Optimization Suggestions** - **Combined Island Hopping**: Starting from Rashoo, take the **"One-Day Island Hopping"** (about $50/person), visit neighboring resort islands (such as Kuramathi Island), and enjoy private beaches and high-end facilities. - **Deep diving enthusiasts**: Contact the dive shop in advance to arrange a **Hammerhead Shark Diving Trip** (best from January to March), the cost is about $120/two dives. - **Extended Stay**: It is recommended to stay **3-4 nights**, with a 1-day tour in Male (visit the fish market and the Presidential Palace before returning). --- **Summary**: Rasdhoo is a rare "cost-effective treasure island" in the Maldives.

#maldiveshotel Island Escape at Rasdhoo: Sun, Sea and Serenity 🏝️🌺 If you're seeking pristine sand, vibrant marine life, and a laid-back vibe, Rasdhoo is a Maldivian gem that delivers! Start with a gentle stroll across the island to get that full local feel—most hotels are a short walk from Rashdoo Bikini Beach, the island’s signature spot for sunbathing in swimwear (a rarity for Maldives). Bikini Beach’s powdery sand and clear waters set the scene for lazy afternoons and unforgettable snorkeling just steps from shore. 🌊 Must-Do: Spend the morning diving or snorkeling—house reefs teem with tropical fish and, if you’re lucky, you might spot friendly rays. Afternoons are prime for kayaking or hopping on a dolphin-viewing tour. The relaxed island pace makes spontaneous plans easy! 📸 Insta-Worthy Spots: Snap the classic palm-framed view at Bikini Beach’s southwest corner—sunset hues over turquoise water are unbeatable. Wander up to the sandbank for panoramic shots, or capture your beach picnic against stretches of untouched sand. 🕑 Visiting Tips: Bikini Beach opens all day; mornings are quieter. Most hotels on Rasdhoo offer direct access or shuttle options. If you like mingling, visit in late afternoon when locals and fellow travelers gather. ⚠️ Precautions: Respect local customs—swimwear is only allowed at Bikini Beach. Coral-safe sunscreen is a must! Mosquito repellent can be handy in the evening. My pro tip: Book a sea-view room for dreamy sunrise moments and easy beach access. Rasdhoo is walkable, so pack light—flip flops and a reusable water bottle will cover you! #Rasdhoo #Maldives #BeachTrip #BikiniBeach #IslandLife
