From my experience, 4 to 6 days is just right for a Maldives trip. Since most resorts are on private islands, you won’t be “island hopping” much like in other destinations. Instead, it’s all about relaxing, enjoying water villas, snorkeling, diving, and soaking in the views.
3–4 days → Good if you just want a quick luxury escape or if you’re combining Maldives with another destination like Dubai or Sri Lanka.
5–6 days → Perfect balance for a honeymoon or first-time visit. You get enough time to relax, try activities like scuba diving or a dolphin cruise, and still not feel rushed.
7+ days → Great if budget allows and you want total relaxation, but honestly, some people find it a bit repetitive since you’re on one island the whole time.
👉 Personally, I’d say 5 days is the sweet spot – you’ll return refreshed without feeling like you’ve overspent or run out of things to do.
