Maldives Island Resort Stay

Malé to North Malé Atoll

About this trip

Five nights at one island resort in North Malé Atoll, with breakfast and dinner. Snorkel the house reef, visit a local island and a sandbank, and watch dolphins on a sunset cruise.

One of our Maldives tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.

Going from Kerala

Malé is about an hour and a half non-stop from Kochi, one of the shortest flights abroad from Kerala, and about an hour and a quarter non-stop from Trivandrum. From Calicut or Kannur we price the best route for your dates.

The Christmas break is the best fit: the dry season starts in December, so book early, as resorts fill. The April–May summer break is still good, warmer and a little wetter towards May. Onam falls in the monsoon, with lower prices and choppier transfers. A short flight also makes a three- or four-night trip work in a long weekend.

    Thanks to you and the Ethan Holiday team for organizing a fantastic Kashmir trip and making it so memorable! Our guide’s knowledge and friendliness made our experience great. The houseboat stay and the hotel in Gulmarg were both wonderful, with the food arrangements at the Gulmarg hotel being especially commendable. Everything was well coordinated, making the journey smooth. […] Thank you once again, and we look forward to more journeys with you in the future!
