Unlock the secrets of the Maldives with our guest, David Brodie, as we explore this mesmerizing tropical paradise. Discover how the Maldives, a stunning collection of over 1,100 islands, offers a wide range of experiences from lavish luxury resorts to budget-friendly stays on vibrant local islands. David uncovers the evolving landscape of tourism in the region, where travelers can now experience the local culture and breathtaking beauty without breaking the bank.

Our conversation highlights the distinct contrasts between local islands, with their rich cultural norms, and the high-end resort islands that often cater to international tourists.

Finally, we explore the spectrum of accommodations available, from affordable stays on islands like Maafushi to the indulgent luxury of overwater bungalows at places like Kagi Maldives. Learn about planning your stay with practical tips on logistics, seasonal pricing, and choosing the right island experience for your travel style.
