11 Cheapest Maldives All-Inclusive Water Villa Resorts

It's hard to imagine a better combination than a beautiful Maldives holiday in a water villa with the freedom of knowing that everything you want is already paid for upfront. Maldives accommodation prices are understandably high, but the best value all inclusive resorts can actually be fantastic deals, especially for drinkers.

There are many water villa resorts in the Maldives that offer all-inclusive options, and quite a few where that's the only option for every guest. There are also many resorts that offer full-board and half-board, and those might be better options for some people. We've already compiled a list of the best Maldives all-inclusive water-villa resorts, and many of those are actually quite cheap as well.

Cheapest

Many of us like to shop by starting with the cheapest thing and going up the affordable resorts list until we find the one that suits us best. For that reason we’ve compiled TWO LISTS BELOW:

It would be wise to look at both lists because the cheapest resorts tend to offer an all-inclusive option in addition to half-board and breakfast-only options.

Also, be aware that there are three similar classifications for these resorts and it’s important to choose the one that suits your style the best. In almost all cases, most non-motorized activities and water sports will be included in all plans, even the breakfast-only plans. So the “all-inclusive” options are generally about meals and drinks.

Half-board – Breakfast and dinner included, but not alcohol
Full-board – Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included, but no alcohol
All-inclusive – All meals included and non-premium alcohol included

Choosing the best option for you

Needless to say, when alcohol in “unlimited” quantities is included the price goes up by quite a bit. If you are non-drinkers or prefer no more than 2 or 3 drinks per day you will probably save money choosing a full-board plan and buying the drinks yourself. And since lunch is relatively cheap and you might be out on dive boat or other excursion that includes lunch, the cheapest option of all for light drinkers is the half-board.
