From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Maldives Visa for Indians — Free on Arrival
No advance visa, no fee — just land in Malé and get stamped.
Here is the best news for planning your trip: the Maldives is visa-free for Indian passport holders. A free 30-day visa is issued on arrival at Malé, so there is nothing to apply for in advance and no visa fee to pay. You simply need a passport valid for at least six months, a confirmed hotel or resort booking and a return or onward ticket. Below we explain exactly what to carry and how the arrival process works, so your Maldives holiday starts smoothly.

The Maldives is visa-free for Indians
Indian citizens do not need to arrange a visa before travelling. On landing at Malé you receive a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival. Note that we do not obtain or guarantee visas — this stamp is issued directly by Maldives immigration to eligible travellers, and it is free of charge.
What to carry at immigration
To be granted the visa on arrival, have these ready:
- Passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival.
- Confirmed hotel or resort booking.
- A return or onward ticket.
- Proof of sufficient funds if asked, and your completed online arrival card (IMUGA).
How long can you stay?
The visa on arrival is valid for up to 30 days, which comfortably covers any of our package lengths from a 3-night escape to a full week. Extensions are handled locally by immigration and are not something we arrange.
Good to know before you fly
Resorts are self-contained private islands. If you plan to visit a local island such as Maafushi, remember these are Muslim communities — dress modestly away from the designated bikini beach, and alcohol is served only at resorts and liveaboards.
Getting to Malé
You fly to Malé (MLE), with direct flights from several Indian metros. From the airport you reach your resort by speedboat or seaplane, which we arrange as part of your package so your arrival is seamless.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
