As I checked with my fellow traveller friends I found that many of them wanted to travel to Maldives. Maldives is famous for its water villas and clean air. Its known for its great hospitality and many adventure sports. Now that Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted the whole world, people are eager to break the monotony and want to go for a vacation ASAP. Some more adventurous people even want to take steps out in the International Zone. Maldives has become one of the most preferred ‘go to’ countries as people want to have peace of mind, cool, fresh air, massages and just relax and do nothing by the sea. With the intention to throw light on the kind of steps taken by premium properties in Maldives, we explored about the same with Amaya Kuda Rah Maldives. Below is what they have to say.

In case if a guest need a covid test report, samples will be taken by the resort doctor and transport to Male city hospital for testing, cost is 150 U$ per person and if the samples transport by sea plane it will be free and in case we can’t find a sea plane then there is no other option but to hire a speed boat for 1100 U$. we are hopeful in terms of post covid footfall, as we are noticing decent number of bookings for the upcoming winter season. Maldives is one of the preferred destination by honeymooners and the upcoming wedding season will surely boost the numbers.

Maldives is a paradise in itself. I still remember its sandy beaches with breathtaking views and all the sports activities it offers when I visited 8 years back. Description of the resort is amazing.
I absolutely love Maldives. I stayed in one of the islands as well and it was stunning. I loved the ocean everywhere and the baby sharks visiting the pools surrounding. This property looks as stunning as the one I stayed. I would love to visit Maldives again.
The place looks absolutely gorgeous and more amazing are all the precautions and steps taken to ensure the safety.
