This is kinda nice! If you ever go to the #Maldives, instead of booking a super expensive resort that's owned by billion dollar companies...
..book a room with the locals!
It's in the same area but a lot cheaper and the money actually goes to the local community 
Don't get fooled by ads 🌅

in reply to stux⚡ • • •I grew up in the Maldives, it's crazy to see what it's become. Most of the resorts were run by locals or small foreign companies back when I lived there in the 90's. The only "big" resort was the Club Med island resort near the airport.
Outside of Malé atoll was basically local communities, with the odd guest house on an island.
Now, I see videos of sea plans landing everywhere, and private islands 😖

Waiting for the inevitable "the Dialysis clinic hates it when you do this, BUT THEY CAN'T STOP YOU!" ads under RFK.(Less kidding)

Every tropical place you've heard of has expensive resorts, mostly all inclusive with a shittle from the airport. Much more expensive than local places, all of them.
What do you get? At best, controlled experiences, safe and captive. Disneyland in the tropics, speaking English and prices in dollars.
What do you loose? Money, culture, experience.
Why do it? Real traditional travel is actually stressful and dangerous for amateurs.
