Honeymoon Cost By Resort Tier
PER COUPLE · 4 NIGHTS
Estimates below are for two travellers, return flights from Chennai/Delhi, a 4-night stay in one resort, half-board or all-inclusive meals, resort transfer, a couples spa session, and one romantic excursion. Maldives honeymoon costs run higher than most destinations because the resort villa itself is priced per night, not split across daily budgets.

💡 Budget alternative: A local island honeymoon (guesthouse instead of resort) can bring the total down to around ₹95,000 per couple for 4 nights — the same reefs and sandbanks, without the overwater villa. See our

How To Save Without Cutting Romance
| Do This | Skip This |
|---|
| Choose an entry-level water villa over a pool villa | Assuming you need the top-tier villa for the "overwater" experience |
| Travel just outside the Dec 25–Jan 5 peak window | Booking over New Year's Eve and its mandatory gala surcharge |
| Pick a resort closer to Male (speedboat transfer) | A remote seaplane-only resort, unless it's the priority |
| Choose half-board and pay for 1-2 special dinners | Assuming all-inclusive is always cheaper overall |
Transfer distance genuinely changes your total cost more than almost any other factor — a resort reachable by speedboot instead of seaplane can save tens of thousands of rupees per couple.
