To fully immerse into the island life and recharge your batteries in the warm sunshine, I would recommend to stay at least 7 nights in the Maldives! Since all islands in the Maldives are unique and different from each other, I highly recommend island hopping during your trip. It is ideal to visit two or three different resorts or/and local islands and stay three to four nights on each of them!
To make the transfer between the islands less expensive and time consuming, choose different islands within one atoll for a direct transfer via boat or seaplane.
