Drop everything, because one of our favorite deals in the Maldives is back, and this one won’t last long!

Have you wanted to visit the Maldives but don’t have enough points? Are you worried that the cost of food and drinks will wring you dry?

Well, Travelzoo has you covered with a 5-night stay in a Water Villa at the 5-star The Residence Maldives. It includes breakfast, dinner, and more for just $1,999. That price is for 2 people.

Let’s take a look at this deal.

Book Your Dream Trip to the Maldives From $1,999

We get that nobody wants to pay cash for a vacation, especially when you can use points and miles for your stay. But the Maldives is one of those special destinations that warrants forking over some cash, especially when spending so little for a week at a 5-star resort!

With this deal, you’d spend 5 nights at The Residence Maldives Falhumaafushi in a Beach Villa or Water Villa (your choice) with breakfast and dinner included. To top it off, you will receive a $200 resort credit per villa.

You can also extend your stay, add more guests, or upgrade your villa at discounted rates.

Unfortunately, transfer flights are not included with this deal; that will cost an additional $450 per adult, $370 for children aged 2-11, and $103 for infants under 2.

To book, you’ll want to head to the deal’s promotion page.

Hot Tip:

You’ll need to get to the Maldives to take advantage of this offer, obviously. Check out our guide to the best ways to fly to the Maldives with points and miles to make it happen without spending a fortune.

Why Is This Such a Big Deal?

We’ve been posting about the Maldives for a while now, especially since it tops many travelers’ bucket lists. However, even when redeeming your points for a trip to the Maldives, you spend quite a bit of cash during your stay. This is because you typically need to account for the exorbitant cost of food and drinks.

As an example, it’ll cost you 480,000 Hilton points for a 5-night stay at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island (with the fifth night free for elite members). This can score you either a beach villa or an overwater villa.

We value Hilton points at 0.5 cents each, which means you’ll be redeeming $2,400 worth of points for your stay. However, that just gets you the room — nothing else.

Instead, you can choose to pay $1,999 upfront with this deal. You’ll be able to save your Hilton points for a better redemption, plus your breakfast and dinner will be included. You’ll also be able to earn rewards with a travel credit card you use to purchase the voucher.

Hot Tip:

When paying cash for travel, rather than using points, we recommend using a travel rewards credit card for these purchases. For example, using the Chase Sapphire Reserve® to book your travel package would earn 3x points per $1 spent.

Final Thoughts

The Maldives is an amazing destination, which is why it’s highly sought after by points and miles travelers.

However, there is a time and a place to use those miles, and this isn’t one of them. Instead, take advantage of this pricing to score 5 nights in a villa in the Maldives at a 5-star resort for just $1,999, including some of your daily meals. It doesn’t get much better than that!
