fact that almost every overwater bungalow resort in the world is both tropical and remote for most of us, means that airfares are usually going to be a bit expensive as well. There's really no getting around the fact that these long flights to exclusive destinations are never cheap, but you can still find deals at certain times of the year, especially if you fly in the off-season for that particular destination.
Using the airfare search tool just below you’ll be able to enter your travel details in only once and then you’ll be shown a list of the best providers for that particular search. Some airfare sites do better in some areas than others, so this system recommends the ones where you’ll have the best chances of good deals.
It’s also important to check several sites before you choose one because some don’t show all airlines or possible routes. For example, to get from the United States to the South Pacific you’ll almost always fly from Los Angeles to Tahiti on Air Tahiti Nui, but you can also fly that segment on Air France, which sometimes has better deals or more convenient flight schedules. Some sites will show this option but others won’t.
Using the search tool just above you can type in the destination city, but sometimes it won’t be recognized or it will show multiple options instead of just the major airport you want. So with this in mind, here’s a list of the best airports to fly into for overwater bungalows, along with their 3-letter airport codes.
Many say Maldives is only for honeymooners, do you think it can be a good place for birthday celebrations?any exciting activities or suggestions?. thank you.
Marolyne,
It’s true that the Maldives is very popular with honeymoon couples, but I think most of the guests are people who come back every year or every few years. It’s a very addicting place. You definitely wouldn’t be the only ones celebrating a birthday.
The larger resorts tend to have more options for activities, although honestly most people (especially those who have been before) seem to be happy to relax during the day and party a bit at night. There are boat excursions daily at most resorts, and those can be fun. And there is pretty decent snorkeling below the water villas at most places, although that comes and goes with the tides. -Roger
