02 — What we actually do

  1. 01The island
  2. 02The villa category
  3. 03The meal plan
  4. 04The transfer

In that order, for your dates and your budget.

We build Maldives trips one at a time — honeymoons, anniversaries, family holidays, the occasional wedding. We choose the island, the villa category, the meal plan and the transfer in the right order, and put the exclusions in writing before you pay anything.

We have been doing only this since 2004. There are two of us, and one of us handles your trip to the day you fly home.

03 — The 360° Difference

Four things we check that a booking site won't.

01

Transfers, checked against your flight

Seaplanes fly in daylight only. Land at Velana after 15:00 for a Baa Atoll resort and you lose a night in Malé. We check your flight times against the transfer before quoting, not after.

02

You'll know what the meal plan excludes

All-inclusive rarely covers every restaurant and every bottle. We put the exclusions in writing with the quote, so the final bill matches the number you agreed.

03

We know which house reefs are worth it

Some big-name resorts have no house reef at all. We'll tell you before you book, not when you're standing on the beach with a snorkel.

04

One person, start to finish

You deal with Pranjal or Amosha directly on WhatsApp, from the first question to the day you fly home.

04 — Who you'll talk to

You'll be dealing with one of these two.

Pranjal started 360 Degree World in 2004. Between us we have now set foot on more than 80 Maldivian resorts, and we still fly out together every time. Whichever of us you message first stays with you from the first question to the day you land back home.

Pranjal

Founder

Pranjal started the business in 2004 and has been selling the Maldives ever since. Twenty-two years means he has watched resorts open, rebrand, change hands and quietly slide. It is the reason he will tell you when a well-known name is not what it used to be.

Amosha

Co-Founder

Amosha co-founded the business and is on every inspection trip. Walking the islands rather than reading the brochures is how we know which house reefs are worth the swim and which kids' clubs only open in season.

We got the best deal for the most beautiful resort – Conrad rangali island, Maldives. Very professional & reliable. Way to go Pranjal.

I was nervous planning such an expensive holiday but 360 Degree World made it seamless. Their resort knowledge is unmatched — they knew exactly what suited us.

Third time booking with 360 Degree World and they keep raising the bar. The Maldives is their speciality and it shows in every single detail.

Experiences worth booking ahead

Couple enjoying a floating breakfast tray in their private pool villa, Maldives

Floating Breakfast

Only bookable if you're in a pool villa, so worth deciding before you pick your villa category. Pancakes, eggs, pastries, fruit and coffee floated out on a tray at sunrise. Most resorts charge per couple and want notice the day before.

Sunset Cruise

An hour or two on a traditional dhoni as the light goes. Dolphins are common, never guaranteed. Ask us which resorts run this as a private charter rather than a shared boat — the price gap is smaller than you'd expect.

Island Hopping

A day on a local island shows you a side of the Maldives resorts don't. Two things to know before you go: dress modestly away from the designated bikini beach, and no alcohol is served on inhabited islands. Easiest from North and South Malé, where the islands sit close together.

Beach cinema screen and loungers set up on the sand after dark

Cinema under the stars

A screen on the beach, loungers, and dinner while you watch. Book it early in your stay rather than the last night — it's weather-dependent and often gets moved, so leave yourself a spare evening.
