Here I go again with another Travelzoo deal. I have yet to get to the Maldives. Over 50 of our friends, family, and members of my Facebook Travel Group, Daddy Travels Now on Facebook, are all headed to the Maldives in 2022. We simply we cannot wait. We took advantage of a Travelzoo deal that we bought in 2020.
You have to remember that those who travel to the Maldives, many of them are visiting for the first time, and in some cases, it could be a bucket list trip, a trip they’ve saved up for awhile, and will probably not return again. Why is that? Flying to the Maldives is not exactly cheap. You have to factor in:
Travel time from your point of origin to the Maldives
Transportation from Male Airport to the resort (typically via seaplane or boat transfer)
The food and beverage could be pricey
Activities/excursions are extra and do add up
All of these things translate to expenses. There are ways to help save or offset some of the costs such as flying and booking accommodations using airlines miles and point. Or, you could look for package deals just like this Travelzoo deal.
Latest deal: South Palm Resort Maldives from $1399
So far, I liked what I read about this deal. South Palm Resort Maldives is a family-friendly resort, not adults-only.
South Palm Resort Maldives is a place of unprecedented serenity, privacy and comfort.
Surrounded by white sandy beaches with a clear lagoon, and tranquil blue ocean views of
Addu Atoll. Located on a private Island at the remote, southern tip of Maldives, South Palm
Resort Maldives is a million miles from the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Two can spend 5 nights at a private island resort for just $1399 through December 2023, including all meals, open bar service daily and roundtrip airport transfers (a perk we rarely see in the Maldives).
So from $1399, two guests spend 5 nights at South Palm Resort Maldives. You have 3 types villas to choose from.
Sunrise Villa – $1399
Beach Villa – $1599
Overwater Villa – $1899
All meals included

International flights are NOT included.
The voucher is good from April 1, 2022 through Dec. 19, 2023. No need to decide or rush.
Why I love this deal?
Fully refundable, it’s inexpensive. Domestic flight and speedboat transfers are included. ALL MEALs are included. OPEN BAR. And kid-friendly!!!
Wow! Honestly, the ALL meals being included was already a great offer in my books. And they’ve also included open bar, and the roundtrip airport transfers….all beginning at $1,399.

Yes! I love this about Travelzoo. I’ve had to make changes and cancel my Maldives trip in the past, and the cancellation and refund process was easy. I got my refund within a couple of days. Here’s how easy it was to get a refund.
