How this calculator works
Flights use sourced return-fare ranges from Kuala Lumpur or Penang (KAYAK route pages, 27 September 2026), picked by season: November is usually the cheapest time to fly from Malaysia, August the most expensive.
Visa: Malaysians get a free 30-day visa on arrival in the Maldives.
Hotel is per room per night for your travel style (two adults share a room). Food and transport are per person per day, and children under 12 count as half on the ground. Attractions you tick use live HolidaySG "from" prices. Everything is converted at HolidaySG's exchange rates; ranges are for planning, not quotes, and any figure not directly sourced is marked as an estimate.
