Perfect 5, 7 & 10-Day Maldives Itineraries

Short on time or not sure how to pace your island days? Use these modular itineraries to match your trip length and vibe.

5 Days (Go-Now Mini Break)

  • Day 1: Land in Malé → speedboat to a North Malé resort, sunset swim
  • Day 2: House-reef snorkel + spa hour, stargazing after dinner
  • Day 3: Sandbank picnic, gentle watersports (SUP/kayak)
  • Day 4: Dolphin cruise or intro dive, private-cinema night
  • Day 5: Easy checkout, optional Male’ stopover café/lunch

7 Days (Balanced Bliss)

  • Add a seaplane hop to a quieter atoll for 3 nights: reef day, signature dining (underwater/chef’s table), sunrise yoga, manta or shark excursion in season.

10 Days (Two-Resort Combo)

  • Start with a value/lively resort for activities, end with a quiet/private stay. Split 4 + 6 nights or 5 + 5 depending on transfer timing.

Tips:

  • Reduce transfer friction by putting the farther resort first.
  • Mix overwater (drama) with beach (space, shade).
  • Book snorkel/dive days early in case of weather moves.
