Bed & breakfast, half board, full board or all inclusive? Maldives meal plans explained

Most resorts sell several meal plans. In our collection, 149 resorts offer all inclusive, 114 full board, 117 half board and 132 bed & breakfast.

On a resort island there is nowhere else to eat, so the meal plan you choose has a big effect on the final cost of your holiday.

The four main plans

Read the small print

Plan names vary. Many resorts sell "premium", "plus" or "gold" versions of all inclusive with different drinks lists, restaurants and excursions. We list exactly what is included in every quotation.

Which one to choose

  • All inclusive is usually the simplest choice if you enjoy drinks with meals or plan to stay a week or more.
  • Half board suits guests who want a light lunch or to try à la carte restaurants.
  • Bed & breakfast works for short stays or when the villa rate is the main priority.
