Travel through Oct. 31, 2022
Seven nights' accommodations at Italian-designed 5-star resort You & Me for two guests in a Manta Villa, an overwater villa with sunrise view
Daily breakfast for two at The Sand
Daily upscale dinner a la carte (not buffet) for two at The Sand, Rising Sun or La Pasta
A lunch for two (not including drinks) at H2O (one of the only 6 underwater restaurants in Maldives), the fully submerged glass restaurant with insane views of marine life (value of $500 CAD)
All resort taxes and fees (normally 24% on top of the daily rate), except the mandatory green tax of US$6 per person per night
Does not include flights from Canada or transfers from Male Airport ($420 USD RT by seaplane (an experience in itself) or $370 RT by domestic flight + speedboat)
Flights from Canada can run anywhere from $900 to $1500, you need to setup alerts with Google Flights for the best deals
You do not need a Visa for the Maldives, all visitors get 30-day tourist visa
No quarantine required upon arrival, the country has fully reopened since July
If you can't travel or simply change your mind you can get instant full refund from TravelZoo (I have done to re-book the villa with pool).
I strongly suggest to upgrade for the Dolphin Villa with Pool as you not only get a private infinity pool for an additional $600 CAD but you also get a sunset view as opposed to sunrise view with the Manta Villa. This is important to get the full Maldives experience and usually cost +$500 CAD / night to upgrade. So you are paying less than $90 CAD / night for the ultimate experience. Similar offerings run usually in the +$1K CAD / night, so you are saving quite a bit of money. Apply for HSBC MasterCard World Elite ($600 travel credit bonus) to cover some of the cost for flights and transfers.
*This deal is AMAZING for a honeymoon, special celebration or simply checking off The Maldives from a bucket list for people that would normally never afford it. The Maldives as a destination is on par with Bora Bora, Fidji and the like in the sense it is upscale/luxury/exclusive and once in a lifetime experiences. The experience is all about the overwater villa, there are only few places in the world where you can find overwater villas (Jamaica, St-Lucia, French Polynesia, Malaysia, Belize, Panama) and they are nearly all way more expensive (≈$2K CAD / night) than The Maldives. This is not your typical Caribbean vacations.
In case you are worried with TravelZoo going under water, TravelZoo is resgistered provider with the TICO (Travel Industry Council of Ontario) and as such, your payment is fully covered against bankruptcy/insolvency until March 31, 2022. More info can be found on TICO's website here.
On of the many great reviews that portrays the Maldives:
"I personally think the Maldives are the most beautiful place I have ever seen and like no other in the world. It’s not just down to the water villas even thought they are absolutely amazing but!
Every single Island is surronded by a coral reef therefore the water is so incredibly pure (as the coral filtrates the water and is so close)and nowhere close comparing to big islands and lands such as Caribbean.The only place that comes close are small islands and Attols in South Pacific. Also because of this the marine life is just unreal and literally on your doorstep-or few meters from the beach so no need to travel far into the ocean for a dive.
Beaches are the whitest I have ever seen and in Maldives you get an amazing sand banks that go far into the ocean.
It’s a luxury Robinson Crusoe paradise.
The service and food is spectacular.
Many people think it must be boring but there is so much to do such as scuba diving, jet ski, jet blades, sea bobs, excursions, whale shark trips -it’s just endless.
Totally worth every penny."
Fully submerged glass restaurant (Cost 360 USD at launch time for two but FREE with any of the 7-night packages)
Manta Sunrise Villa ($2599 - 7 Nights)
Dolphin Sunset Villa with Infinity Pool ($3199 CAD 7 Nights)
