Best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives

On a small island you eat most meals at the resort, so the meal plan changes the true cost more than the headline rate. All-inclusive plans differ widely in what they cover, so compare the inclusions, not just the label.

What to weigh

  • Check what drinks, restaurants and activities are included, and what is not.
  • Add the plan supplement to the room rate to compare resorts fairly.
  • If you plan to eat out little, a cheaper plan may cost less overall.
