Maldives

A 7-night Maldives honeymoon costs $4,500 - $11,000 per couple in 2026, covering round-trip flights from the US, an overwater villa, most meals, and the seaplane or speedboat transfer.

The Maldives is the honeymoon benchmark for a reason, but the price range is enormous because the resort you pick drives almost everything. The smart play is to spend on the villa and skip the extras that look good in photos but add little.

Best time to go

The dry season, roughly December to April, has the best weather and the highest prices. May, June, September, and October are quieter and cheaper, with a higher chance of short rain. For a honeymoon on a budget, shoulder months are the value sweet spot.

Common questions

How much does a Maldives honeymoon cost?

Plan on $4,500 to $11,000 per couple for a week in 2026. The resort tier and whether you fly in by seaplane are the two biggest swing factors.

What is the cheapest time to visit the Maldives?

May, June, September, and October bring lower rates and fewer crowds, with a higher chance of brief rain. December to April is the dry, peak, and priciest season.

How many nights should you stay in the Maldives?

Seven nights is ideal for a honeymoon once you account for the long travel time. Five works if you pair it with a stop in Dubai or Doha.

Is the Maldives all-inclusive or pay as you go?

Both exist. With dining expensive on remote islands, a half-board or all-inclusive meal plan often saves money versus paying per meal.
