    Hello Dan! I'm from the Maldives & have been following your channel for some time now! Love your videos and so glad you enjoyed our country!!
    You should try staying in one of the inhabited islands next time, way cheaper (and obviously far less luxurious). It'll be a totally different experience and I'm sure you'll love it!

They have the 7 restaurants with Ithaa...the Underwater Restaurant...do it! We had lunch there. Since I'm a Hilton Diamond member...free breakfast...FREE HAPPY HOUR! Take advantage. We did upgrade to the Premier Overwater Villa...Still drooling over that!

    I stayed at Adaaran Club Ranaahli a couple of years ago. We didn't have a water villa, but a room about 10M from the ocean. We paid £1600 per person for 2 weeks. It's close to Male, so a 45 min speedboat transfer. Loved it, but I got food poisoning as ate a Kerolan fish curry and it was obviously off which ruined a week of the holiday, so just avoid fish curries as they only get deliveries once or twice a week. Alternatively, if you want to lose weight, I lost over a stone in a week!!!

    I stayed in the Maldives in 1982 on the island of Baros with Kuoni, how the accommodation on offer has changed tremendously, I agree the islands all offer luxurious accommodation but at a price, however, the destination has lost some of the truly magical feel of staying where few travelers used to venture, going somewhere remote and very special . In 1982 desalinated water to wash in only 2 hours day, you went fishing for your lunch evening meal, pineapple for dessert every day taken off the trees , the bulk of the food for guests was kept in a huge freezer ,, the food being delivered by boat from Singapore once every three months, In the reception area they sold bars of chocolate out a small fridge as a luxury lol , I adored the sheer remoteness of the island I visited The Maldives once in 1982 ( 3 days) and once in 1983 ( 14 days) and on each visit there were no more than 5 people staying at any one time, Happy Days, For flight enthusiasts, flights were 2 flight a week from Colombo with Air Lanka , the departing area was a corrugated iron roof shed with one fan to cool the place :>

    Well done Dan another great video. It must have been lovely for you and Oscar to stay in such a beautiful, peaceful beach resort rather than visiting another capital city. On one hand, I worry about how ‘green’ a stay in the Maldives is. Every item of food, drink etc etc has to be flown in. On the other hand , if I had the opportunity to go there tomorrow, I would probably be on my way!
