The Maldives is a benchmark of luxury beach vacations, which is perfect for romantic trips, as well as for those who love peace and privacy. Cozy small bungalows close to the shore and the insignificant number of tourists in the area will allow you to fully enjoy the silence or a loved one.

In summer, the rainy season starts in the Maldives, which will allow you to find cheaper accommodation.
Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from Minsk to Male, so you will have to make one connection or fly from Moscow. For Belarusians, a visa is issued at the airport upon arrival for a stay of up to 30 days. You will need to show your return ticket and hotel reservation.
