Why I advise against January split stays

While the Maldives is generally warm and sunny in January, the risk of inter-island transfers being banned due to COVID-19 concerns may be higher this time of year. If you're set on a January split stay, Fede recommends choosing a resort that has a more reliable transfer system, such as Dhevanafushi Maldives Luxury resort, which offers a traditional Dhoni boat connecting the main island with the overwater village every 20 minutes.

Resort recommendations for January split stays

For a unique and memorable split stay experience, consider combining Dhevanafushi Maldives Luxury resort with another resort that offers similar amenities and services. Fede recommends exploring Japanese restaurants in the Maldives, like Koen's, which offers a distinctive setting and impeccable flavours. Don't miss the opportunity to explore their tasting menu, taking you on a culinary voyage from the sea to the land.
