What people love about touring Maldives solo
- 7N Maldives South Male Local Island Hopping
It was an amazing experience to explore the Maldives - what a wonderful place! The weather was also great throughout my stay (December). Many thanks to Secret Paradise team ( Ruth and UB) for making sure my adventure was very well organised. I will definitely visit again!
- Maldive Dhoni Cruise
Thought my tour was fantastic
- Maldives Private Relaxed Island Hopping 8D/7N
We had a great time but didn’t get what we signed up for. Firstly we paid extra for our first night in Hulhumale to get a balcony and ocean view. When we got there, we were sent to a completely different hotel with no balcony or ocean view. Then the tour we went on was completely different to what we signed up for. We still had a great time but it definitely wasn’t what we were expecting. We are not sure what happened or where communication fell over. Our guide told us the tour we signed up for didn’t exist and that this had happened before with Bamba. Haven’t had a chance yet to contact Bamba and see what happened but I won’t be using them in the future.

Looking at data from TourRadar's Indy Escapes Maldives tour "75% were female 60% were solo travelers with an average age around 33." The smaller groups make it easy to get to know fellow travelers. Places like Arena Beach Hotel in Maafushi set up shared meals and activities that bring people together naturally.
Which areas of the Maldives are most welcoming for solo travelers?
You'll find a welcoming environment on local islands such as Maafushi Fulidhoo and Thulusdhoo. These spots have good tourist facilities while maintaining their local character. Places to stay include Arena Beach Hotel and Kaani Beach Hotel on Maafushi. As noted by a TourRadar reviewer: "Maafushi has a great mix of local culture and tourist facilities perfect for meeting other travelers while still experiencing authentic Maldives."
How much spending money should solo travelers budget for additional activities?
Plan for 50-100 USD daily to cover extra activities and meals not in your tour package. On Maafushi Island dolphin watching trips cost 30-50 USD and special dinners run 25-40 USD. A helpful note from a TourRadar traveler: "Most water sports activities were reasonably priced between 30-60 USD with excellent snorkeling trips to locations like Guraidhoo reef being particularly good value."
What types of shared activities are typically included in Maldives group tours?
Group tours include activities like snorkeling trips island hopping fishing adventures and visits to local villages. The Maldive Dhoni Cruise takes groups snorkeling at Embudhoo Reef and Meemu Atoll arranges traditional Bodu Beru shows in Felidhoo village and hosts beach barbecues. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Swimming with turtles sharks and having dolphins by the boat watching sunrises and sunsets and making the best friends. It's been magical!"
