Insider tips for Maldives from Salem
- Water villa vs beach villa — water villas are worth every rupee of the upgrade
- Seaplane transfer (USD 200–450/person return) adds to resort cost — factor it in when budgeting
- Salem travellers fly to Chennai (MAA) first, then catch the international connection — total journey ~6h
⚠️ Avoid: May–October (monsoon, rough seas and limited resort access)
