If you love to go on holiday and visit new places, one of the tricks of travel you have probably learned is that to book early carries with it multiple advantages. Early bird discounts, balcony cabins on cruise liners, best seats on aeroplanes are all due to planning ahead and booking in advance.
When it comes to planning your Christmas/New Year vacation to the Maldives, the same applies. Don’t wait for the last minute.
Here are 5 good reasons for booking in advance.
- Availability
When you book in advance, there are so many more options available to you. You can choose your favourite hotel or resort and know that there will be availability for you and your family. Not only will you be able to get exactly what you want, it most probably will be at a lower price.
- Early Bird Discounts
There are many resorts that offer discounts if you book in advance. The closer you get to the date of departure, the higher the premium you are likely to pay. When you book in advance, you may get a discount of up to 25% on the best hotel rate. In the Maldives at the moment, there are resorts such as St Regis, Hideaway and Niyama who offer early bird discounts. They often are only valid out of peak season, so look up when that ends and book in advance.
- Deposit
When you book in advance for a New Year holiday in the Maldives, you most likely will only have to put down a deposit. This secures the booking at the preferred price enabling you to pay the full amount at a later stage.
- Preferred Flights
The earlier you book a vacation, the easier it is to find suitable flights. Bookings for airlines and hotels usually open a year in advance. Best prices and best seats are available when you book early. Booking way ahead of time also allows you greater options in regard to which airlines to use and what times to fly. As there is so much more available you can choose the times you want to fly and not be restricted to flying at the only times available. Once that reservation is made and paid for, it is a major tick on your holiday to-do list.
- Anticipation
This is the best reason for booking a Maldivian adventure way in advance. It gives you something to look forward to. It doesn’t matter how busy or stressed your life is, at the back of your mind you know that it is all going to come to an end when you board the aeroplane and fly to the wonderful Maldives for a well-earned New Year holiday. The idea of relaxing on a tropical island is enough to make anyone carry on going. You can make a photograph of your resort your screen saver and every time you look at it you can imagine the warm sand between your toes as you sit at the water’s edge sipping a cocktail and watching the sun going down. That right there is reason to book today!
Time is running out. Don’t hesitate in reserving your spot in the Maldives for the coming New Year.
