New Year in the Maldives is one of the most popular periods on the islands. Many families and groups of friends come here to celebrate this winter holiday, even though prices are much higher than, let´s say, in summer. Expert in booking exotic islands wiotto.com gives you handy advice on how to book a hotel in the Maldives for the New Year.
Why is New Year so popular in the Maldives?
Most of the tourists who choose the Maldives live in countries with cold winters. It is not surprising that everyone strives to celebrate one of the brightest days of the year where it is sunny and warm. An equally important factor is holiday, which, oddly enough, everyone has at the same time – everyone is trying to squeeze their vacation into the period of the New Year and Christmas holidays.
The Maldives is made up of over 1,000 islands, but only about 200 of them are inhabited. At the same time, there are only about 150 resort islands, where most tourists seek. Each resort, depending on the size and concept, has villas from several dozen to several hundred. It turns out that there are not so many possibilities to accommodate a large number of tourists in the Maldives.
How to book a villa for the New Year
You need to book a villa for the New Year in the Maldives in advance. Ideally, six months before moving in. Thus, you will have a wide choice not only of hotels, but also of the villas themselves. The most attractive and popular options are sold out first, and these are:
• Family beach villas with one or two rooms
• Water villas for two
• Villas with sunset views
• 4 and 5 star hotels. 5-star deluxe hotels are selling out more slowly, as their prices are significantly higher.
We are often contacted in November-December in order to book a family villa. In such a short time, you have to choose not from those hotels that you like, but from what is left. It is especially difficult to choose a hotel and a villa if tourists are coming for a week or more, since the window of free dates often has free slots for only 2-4 days.
How to pay in advance When booking a villa in the Maldives on wiotto.com in advance (for example, six months), you can pay for it 5-30 days before check-in. The term depends on the policy of the chosen hotel. By making a reservation, let’s say in August, the villa will be 100% reserved for you. You can pay for it immediately, or 5-30 days before check-in, as you wish. If you have paid for the hotel in advance, but something came up and you need to cancel the trip, the reservation will be refunded in 100% of the amount, subject to cancellation 5-30 days in advance. You can learn more about the conditions of booking and cancellation in the wiotto.com online chat with managers. Contact us!
