Three nights for two on Thilamaafushi, half board with return seaplane transfers and green tax, starts at ₹368,600. Until 30 September the Beach Villa, the Lagoon Villa and the Sunrise Overwater Villa all cost the same, so an overwater villa costs nothing extra. From 1 November the whole list steps up.
The island sits in Lhaviyani Atoll, 35 minutes by seaplane: 134 villas, a working hydroponic farm, and a house reef with green and hawksbill turtles on it.
What this actually costs
Pick a villa and a package above and the price covers the villa, half board for the adults in it, return shared seaplane transfers and green tax. Every other tax sits inside that figure, so nothing further is added at check-out.
- Book by 1 September for October. The early bird takes 15% off the room rate on October 2026 stays, all villa types. It does not touch the meal plan, the transfer or the taxes. On a four-night double that is ₹40,200 off the Beach Villa and ₹61,700 off the Overwater Villa with Pool.
- The pool costs more than the position. To 30 September, Sunrise Overwater to Overwater Villa with Pool is ₹82,300 over four nights; from November the same step is ₹185,200. Beach Villa to Beach Villa with Garden Pool is only ₹32,900 in that September window, and the garden pool is a real plunge pool.
- Two villas beat one big one. Two Beach Villas for four adults are ₹911,000 to 30 September against ₹931,500 for the 2 Bedroom Beach Villa with Pool. Take a multi-bedroom villa to be under one roof, not to spend less.
Who this isn’t for
134 villas is mid-size, and in high season it feels it. The meal-plan rules are stricter than most. On half board and full board, drinks come only with meals inside the restaurants; the bars serve All Inclusive guests only. Destination and in-villa dining sit outside every plan, so the beach dinner in the photographs is a supplement whatever you booked.
Half board is US$115 per adult per night, All Inclusive US$230. Festive dates, 24 December to 10 January, are not sold on these packages: a compulsory New Year’s Eve gala at US$720 per adult on bed and breakfast, US$620 on other plans, and a five-night minimum across 27 December to 3 January.
Before you book
- The seaplane runs the day. 35 minutes, US$555 return per adult and US$278 per child from 1 November 2026. You must be checked in at the Trans Maldivian counter by 15:30 to reach the island the same day. Miss it and you overnight in Malé at your own cost and lose a resort night.
- Two children under twelve stay and eat free in their parents’ villa on the same meal plan. You pay their green tax at US$12 per child per night, and their seaplane.
- Cancellation is unforgiving. From 1 November 2026 you lose 100% of the stay inside 30 days, 45 days over festive. A date change or a shortened stay counts as a cancellation. Insurance is not optional here.
Tell us your dates, who is travelling and which airport you fly from, and we will cost the villa, the meal plan, the seaplane and the green tax separately, with the October early bird applied if your dates allow.
