island recommendation

hey everyone, i am looking to go back to the maldives next year. i went to vakaruflahi last year and loved it but i know its closed now and will be italian resort only. can anyone recommend a similar island that has a great house reef and nice accomodation? would prefer a more relaxed resort dont want it to be too busy and crammed.

thanks

Why dont you try Komandoo? Its out of this world! We went there in 2000 but its got water bungalows added now. Think its got quite expensive now but you could check it out and maybe get a good All Inclusive deal?

hi ste

A buget would help us more in our recomendations.

yes komandoo has gone very expensive, two years ago it was one of the islands i was looking at, around £2000-£2400 for 2 weeks think its more like £3000 now. budget-wise i dont want to go overboard so 2k give or take a little :)

Ste - is £2k for 2 of you and for BB or AI? I would normally recommend Reethi Beach but the prices have gone up considerably for next year and that is before they upgrade it.

If it is for both of you, the larger islands tend to be within that budget.

oh no this will each and full board/ all inclusive would be preferable depending on the price diff between the two i.e. if AI is £400 more than fullboard then AI wouldnt be worth it as i wont be drinking that much beer :)

Angsana Ihuru may come in budget depending what time of year you are going?

i checked angsana and thats coming out at nearly 7k in december so will be a lot more in jan-march im guessing. bit out my price range. maybe thailand would be a better option

Ste

look at Ellaidhoo and Fiha both good reefs--Fiah only does FB but E-doo does AI, both within buget and needs depending on what type of accomodation you want.

ouch! we paid £6k (2 people FB Sri Lankan 2 weeks)
