Our Commitment to Bringing You the Best

Joel and Bryan, checking out the Park Hyatt, Maldives.

As part of our commitment to be the foremost experts in the Maldives, we have traveled to the Maldives many times, as recently at 2022, to keep up with the newest developments and offerings. On our site visits, we have met a lot of fellow travelers, and there is one thing on which they all agree: it is incredibly difficult to find the right hotel just from looking online. Over and over we hear people say "all the resorts kind of looked the same online, so we didn't know which to choose."

This is why we make so many visits to the area. The truth is that all of the resorts offer something unique and special, but it is difficult to convey this online The top 10 concerns people tend to have questions about are:

1) The size and features of guest rooms

2) The view from one's room

3) The atmosphere of the public areas

4) The clientele and if the resort caters more to families or adults

5) The food quality and experience

6) Where one can find the best snorkeling

7) Which resorts offer the most interesting activities

8) Which offer the best privacy

9) Where exactly the resort is located

10) How easy it is to arrive at the resort

In addition to these 10, there are many other factors to consider. Many properties are accessible by speedboat or yacht, while others require a seaplane. Some resorts are better for couples. Others are better for groups of friends or singles. One resort may have the best spa, but another may have the best water sports. Some offer incredible exclusivity, and others are a better choice if you wish to mix and mingle. There is no one resort that has the best of everything, and it really comes down to what matters most to you, and what you want out of your vacation.

This is why when people contact us to book their stay in the Maldives, we ask them a lot of questions so that we can book the resort that has the components that matter most to them. The Maldives are an incredible playground, but since it is not an inexpensive place, nor particularly easy to get to, you want to be especially sure that you've made the right decision. Zoom Vacations can take care of that for you.

There is so much that we have learned from being here, and we have an arsenal of tricks and suggestions to help our travelers have the best experience in the Maldives.

Ask us any questions you may have, and we'll answer them as best we can.


Giving Back to the Planet

One of the most worthwhile things one can do in the Maldives is to sponsor your own reef, to help with the underwater ecosystem for which the Maldives is famous. A number of properties offer this, such as the Four Seasons, and Zoom Vacations created and donated our own reef frame on a recent trip to the Maldives. It’s really growing!

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

Air: International and domestic airfare not included. Most international flights arrive into the capital, Male. Once you arrive at the airport in Male, a Zoom Vacations representative will meet you and escort you to the departure lounge of the Island (hotel) you are visiting. You will arrive at your island escape via seaplane or high speed boat, depending on the property, and Zoom Vacations will coordinate all of this for you. If you are visiting more than one property, you will do so via sea plane or high speed boat. Again, Zoom Vacations will arrange all of this for you, so all you have to do is make sure you have packed your passport and sun protection.

Passports: Your valid passport should have at least two blank visa pages and should be valid for at least six months after your planned departure from the country you are visiting. 
Note: Passport pages titled "Endorsement Pages" are not visa pages.

Visas: Please note that currently US citizens can acquire a Maldives tourist visa upon arrival. If you are not a US citizen, please contact your nearest Consulate to determine your visa requirements.

While Zoom Vacations will assist when possible, please note that passport, visa, and vaccination requirements vary from country to country and are the sole responsibility of the traveler. If you are a US resident, you may click here for more information on passport, visa, and vaccination requirements for various countries.

Covid-19: At this time, proof of a negative PCR test is mandatory 1-3 days before your flight to the Maldives. If you need assistance or have questions about how to get a PCR test, please contact us. Once you have your negative PCR test, you must fill out this online form within 24 hours of your outbound flight, input your test result information, and upload a photo of yourself. When traveling within the Maldives to different properties, you will need proof of a negative PCR test, before arriving at the new property. Zoom Vacations will help arrange this.

At this time, all air passengers coming to the United States, including U.S. citizens, are required to have a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before they board a flight to the United States. If this is still a requirement at the time of our trip, Zoom Vacations will assist our travelers with testing.

Please read Terms and Conditions prior to booking.
