I have always thought that the Maldives are only accessible to millionaires; or at least people on their honeymoon who spend all their savings. But did you know that you can visit the Maldives on a slightly smaller budget? We went backpacking in Asia for a long time and decided to do this in the Maldives. You can even spend a few days lazing around on an (almost) uninhabited island, regardless of the time of year. While it doesn’t have to cost anything at all!

I understand that all this requires some evidence. That’s why Suus and I went backpacking for only 20 euros a day in the Maldives. By taking local boats, sleeping among the locals and visiting the most remote paradise islands, we see a whole new side of the Maldives. While we also get to experience much more of the culture and the beautiful people who live there. Take a quick look at how we did this!

Have you ever gone backpacking in the Maldives, or do you want to travel even more exotic and further to paradise? We also proved that backpacking is possible in Hawaii! You can watch this adventure here.
