This is actually the opposite of what I experienced in the Maldives. We stayed at a 4* resort that had an all inclusive plan that included food and the transport to the island. It also had amazing snorkeling right off the beach. We saw all the sea life we wanted to see right at the resort.

Good comparisons I went to Maldives 5 times and Seychelles 3 times and agreed with what you said - both are my 2 favourite destinations that I have been to. Seychelles has 3 main islands (Mahe, Praslin and La Digue) - in Mahe and Praslin I rented a car and drove around various spots and locations; in La Digue you can only walk or cycle around the island. Anse Source D'Argent really was a stunning beach with the rock boulders but Anse Lazio on Praslin Island is beautiful. Seychelles does have more options compared to Maldives but food-wise I did prefer Maldives food. Fresh fruit-wise, both were great. You can use US Dollars more frequently in Maldives resorts. The other thing you need to mention is the ATM machines are not available on most Maldives resorts where in Seychelles it is a bit easier to find ATMs. Also, don't bring pork and alcohol through customs at Male Airport (Maldives). Male city is on a different island to the airport,. From Mahe to Praslin, you can take a short 15 minute plane ride which isn't that expensive instead of taking the rocky speedboat ride for 1 hour that many people did and ended up being seasick. The boat ride from Praslin to La Dique is 15 minutes which I would do as a day trip. I always spend 4 days in Praslin (including a day tour to La Digue) then spend 3 days in Mahe

Bora bora is better imo. You can do rustic or you can do luxury overwater bungalows like the ones you see at Maldives. They are French so you get French food which speaks for itself. Snorkeling is better than Seychelles but not as good as Maldives. Just like Seychelles, there are places to hike and interact with locals.

Seychellois seems better for 3 loud single guys then Maldives that seems like a lovers paradise. 3. My skin prunes after 2 days of being in the water (medical condition).

There are two Maldives: the resort islands and the locals islands, the difference is huge in all terms, except the color of the sky, the ocean and the sand... But even so, it is a quite limited Paradise due to the islands size, the spending time possibilities and restrictions on the local islands (drinking, dressing...) Seychelles are more spectacular and unique, with unlimited possibilities and more human touch. I've been once in Maldives and once in Seychelles. This summer I'll be there again. Where? In Seychelles!❤

As the video suggests several times, for Maldives 🇲🇻 it’s totally recommended to go to islands instead of resorts if you aren’t a billionaire. Could say that 90% of Maldivians have not visited to a resort with their own money. Sponsored yes but it’s not worth spending your own money to a resort. Visit island for local hotels. Prices are like the sky and ground kinda difference.

Both destinations are wonderful. I had the best snorkeling experience right off my overwater bungalow in the Maldives. I can’t say the same at a private island I stayed in the Seychelles. With that said, the service level I received at Seychelles was at the highest anywhere I’ve been to. A good combination of both I would say is French Polynesia. You get good snorkeling and great French food. You can stay at a luxury overwater bungalow at Four Seasons resort or more budget friendly local air B&B.

I stayed in both, a luxury resort and a local island in the Maldives. There are plenty of options for inexpensive stays on local islands with speed boats transports from the Airport for anywhere between 30 and 70 USD, for 30 minute to 1.5 hrs rides. Of course, you can stay much farther away and that costs lots of money. There are over 1,000 islands in the Maldives.

In Seychelles there you may find 100% native people providing service for tourists but in Maldives in Tourist resorts there are full of foreign staffs few Maldivians gets jobs in their own country even the locals gets wage lower than foreigners in same position. In Maldives the most benefits from tourism are foreigners Philippines Bangkok Indonesia Nepal and Bangladesh people they just get job by a call but locals have to provide documents same as like going NASA job. So as a local I recommend Maldivian islands start agriculture instead of luxury underwater restaurant tourism...

So you’d be likely to find packages that suit you the best. You should catch a flight to Male’ and you can either travel to the domestic airports near those islands or take a speed launch there. whichever is easy for you. I’d highly recommend Ukulhas, or Keyodhoo where you’d be able to see the shipwreck site and snorkel there. Also you can visit nature parks in Addu, and Hanifaru Bay in Dharavandhoo where you can swim with Manta Rays.

Actually, in the last few years to attract more tourists of different budgets, most local islands have special beaches called bikini beaches designated for foreign tourists where you can wear bikinis but alcohol is still prohibited outside the resorts islands

@@TheAwkwardTourists ohh u did both for one vacation? We are planing to fly to the Maldives first (4 days) and then to Seychelles (end of October) but we are a bit afraid if the weather on the Maldives will be good at this time and if it’s worth paying so much for the planes (800€ from Male to Mahe via Sri lanka). Could u help please?

I am in the Seychelles now and actually struggle with the food. I don’t eat seafood nor meat, and it’s hard. I love rice snd fries but where are the veggies and amazing fruits? Compared to many other tropical islands, it’s just a small variety of fruits and hardly any veggies. Unless you pay a fortune at fancy restaurants, it’s not easy for vegetarians who want to eat a good, balanced diet.

Seychelles for me too because (1) Maldives is a muslim country (with all that entails i.e. it dominates their culture, mentality and the general conservative/strict/no fun atmosphere there) and (2) Maldives is mainly a honeymoon destination because there's not much else to do there apart from going from hotel room > beach > hotel restaurant > hotel room > beach again etc etc to distract a pair of newlyweds from ... ahem ... getting to know each other. In other words, there are no distractions, nightlife etc there. For me, Seychelles was far more interesting with much more variety and I felt more relaxed and free there. In short, if you're not on your honeymoon you might find yourself getting bored in the Maldives quite quickly and everything for tourists is overpriced there.

@TheAwkwardTourists 6 ай бұрын

We didn't find the Maldives to be boring at all, in fact we didn't even have enough time to do everything we wanted to do. To each his own though!
