1⃣️Transportation✈️🚁
✈️
We traveled from Chengdu to Bangkok to Male, a total of nearly 12h, with a 4h layover in Bangkok. Make sure not to buy a ticket with a transit visa mark when purchasing tickets, just buy a through ticket and you can transfer inside the airport without a transit visa.
🚁Male to Fulidhoo, we took a seaplane to and from the island. The waiting lounge in Male had a great environment with free snacks, WIFI, massage chairs, rest areas, etc. The hotel arranges the seaplane schedule in advance according to the flight time. I recommend choosing a seaplane if possible, as you can enjoy the view of countless resort islands floating in the vast ocean during the flight, like pearls, and savor the gifts of nature!
2⃣️Choosing an Island🏝️🏖️
Our island selection was very rushed this time, receiving the hotel's confirmation only three or four days before departure, as it was a last-minute decision to vacation in the Maldives. Thanks to the very professional island selection assistant for their help and patient answers!
Fulidhoo is a luxurious five-star island, and for me, it offers great value for money! Its facilities, services, scenery, and dining are all perfectly matched with its price. Upon arrival, our Chinese butler Simon helped us get familiar with the island, book various activities, and was ready to answer any questions. The service was very enthusiastic, so friends who are not good at English need not worry, just go for it!
Since it was our first time in the Maldives, we wanted to experience it all, so we booked 2 nights in a sunset pool water villa➕2 nights in a beach villa.
🏖️Water Villa: I must say, the view from the water villa is truly breathtaking! At sunset, the sun reflected on the pool surface looks like a round egg yolk, very impressive, and the afterglow of the sunset on the sea forms an orange sea, very dreamy! The snorkeling environment near the water villa is not bad, with more beautiful fish around the living corals. There are baby sharks, devil fish, nimo... near the lagoon area. Be careful of the big waves near the breakwater. The water villa has all the popular elements like a net bed, outdoor bathtub, infinity pool, Maldivian gazebo!
🏕️Beach Villa: Comes with a private beach for relaxation, with good privacy, and basic facilities like a gazebo and lounge chairs. It's very chill to lie on the beach and daydream in your free time. The beach villa has many cute little creatures, such as geckos, lizards, bats... Overall, the environment is very ecological, but the overall facilities are not as good as the water villa, not on the same level.
3⃣️Dining🥙🥘
We upgraded to the AI all-inclusive package, which included three meals a day, unlimited refills of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and mini bar drinks with the AI mark! We were given a three-course meal at the Asian restaurant once, which was very exquisite. We ate at the main restaurant every day, with different dishes every day, basically no repeats, but mostly Indian, Italian, Mexican, and local Maldivian flavors, so if you're not too demanding about dining, you'll definitely be satisfied!
Overall, this trip was perfect, the whole island was filled with a romantic atmosphere, making us, a couple visiting the Maldives for the first time, have a full experience. We finally understand why the Maldives is a honeymoon destination and can fulfill all the romantic fantasies of women. This journey can be said to be worthwhile!
