Are you confused about which
villa type you should book for your honeymoon packages or family packages
in Maldives? Basically, there are two types of villas in almost every resort in
Maldives. As a tour operator in Maldives and a tour guide for Maldives
packages, we have been asked the same questions multiple times by our clients;
“which villa type is best for honeymoon in Maldives?”, “what
type of villa we should book for our couple package in Maldives”, “in Maldives,
whether water villa or beach villa is best for family holidays?”. Literally
number of times, the same questions!
Now that some prejudices already exist in the field, your
concern is pretty worth asking. It is generally believed that water villas are
best for honeymooners and couple packages AND or for those who book couples
packages, beach villas are the best choices. Is it entirely true?
It can be true! But not really! There is much more to add to
this notion about selection of villas for packages in Maldives. Actually, it is
all about your nature and taste. Both over-water villa and beach villa have
their own pros and cons. You can read it out and listen to you mind, and then YOU
decide which one suites your package and where to stay in Maldives for your
accommodation.
Beach Villas in Maldives Pros and Cons
Pros
Beach villas in most resorts are rather affordable.
It is more like a home
with garden and courtyard or backyard.
It comes with private
beach for you and the backyard of the villa itself is a lush-secluded mini-beach.
You can take your lounges from deck to your own private
beach where you can tan yourself.
You will have direct
access to the beach and you will have access
to the lagoon which is near to your private beach.
Some beach villas will have added facilities like out-door
shower and out-door dining area.
You will have enough privacy
and seclusion for your private moments. Your beach will be covered on all
sides with lush vegetation.
You
will have easy access to all facilities
and amenities at the resort like restaurants, diving center, gym and spa
because all of them are usually put up on land at all resorts.
Cons
The
lush foliage or garden might hinder your view out to the sea from your deck.
Since
the villas are positioned on the side of the public paths, other guests might
walk down the path. (Never think it is less private. You will have garden on
the front. Basically, you hardly spend time on the front, but rather in
backyard).
Water Villas in Maldives - Pros and Cons
Pros
Giving you too much privacy for your sweet seclusion!
You can enjoy nice view out to the ocean/lagoon.
Quite
calm and pleasant except for the
humming of ocean!
To many, water villas are synonym with romantic!
You
will have private deck whence you will have direct access to the lagoon beneath
you.
Giving you maximum fun at water!
Cons
Over-water villas are always placed away from the land so
that you will have to walk to the main areas of the resort like restaurants and
spa.
You have to make a choice between sunset or sunrise villas according
to your liking for the sun.
Sometimes
the water level beneath you goes down considerably which makes it impossible to
have fun at the water.
What We Have to Say,
There is something more to the preoccupation about the
selection of villas in Maldives.
Deciding where to stay in Maldives when making a Maldives
resort accommodation is all up to your inner psyche.
Each villa type has its
own advantages.
But it is a fact that over-water villas can be more calm and
silent where beach villas can be a bit less calm. That being said, it does not
mean that over-water villas are more romantic than beach villas.
Both are romantic as much as you want, but both in different
ways and depend on your taste.
It comes down to how you want your honeymoon in Maldives. If
you would like a calmer and much more private get-away, you can choose water
villas. Instead, if you are looking for a jolly and celebrating honeymoon
get-away, you can select beach villas.
But for the families with infants, beach villas are more
suggested than over-water villas.
Also, families with grown-up children better choose beach
villas. Because, kids can be a bit noisy and need a lot more space for their
fun. It will be appreciated if we try not to bother other over-water guests who
are solely looking for a peaceful get-away.
Also, for the group of honeymooners or the group of friends
on holiday, we suggest over-water villas. Those guys might need peace and
refreshment and some private and secluded time for their group get-together
other than fun and activities.
Now It's up to YOU..!
All villas are romantic in their own ways, but only that
they have their own characteristics.
You need to read the above-given pros and cons and ask
yourself whether your mind would like them and what kind of nature your
honeymoon should be.
Or what kind of stay would be more comfy for your kids if
you plan on family holiday.
A cunning and preferable decision you can take is booking
both beach villa and water villa for your stay and diving your days between
them.
That means, for example, if you plan on a ‘six night
Maldives package’, book like “three night beach villa and three night water
villa”.
That way, it is like you are enjoying both experience and
you are taking two different Maldives packages as two separate times. And it
could be even funnier and interesting.
That time as well, factor in what is your cravings!
If you would like more fun, then put more than half of your
nights on beach villa and the rest on the over-water villa.
Or if you are looking for more tranquil seclusion, put more
nights on ocean suites.
It is advisable that you start staying at beach villa and
move into over-water villa second in either situation.
