A 7-Night Maldives Honeymoon Budget: Three Checked Cost Levels
Historical quote comparison — not live prices
These are the official-search figures recorded on 29 September 2026 for 12–19 May 2027, one room and two adults. No new rate search has been made; these historical amounts are not today's prices or confirmed availability. Confirm the St. Regis Family Escape package is eligible for two adults without children, and confirm all inclusions directly. The rounded US$2,479 nightly average is not a substitute for the recorded exact US$17,358 total. Baros still excludes unsurfaced taxes; these are not equivalent all-in trip quotes.

What to allow beyond the quote
International flights are excluded because your departure city changes the fare entirely. Baros taxes and fees were not surfaced before checkout, so they are not estimated here. Meal-plan inclusions differ between the three rates, and so do paid extras such as lunches, drinks, spa and excursions. The official checkout confirmation for your own dates is what governs the final price. The guides below cover the full cost stack and what each board basis really includes.
Maldives tax context
The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority states that Tourism Goods and Services Tax (TGST) is 17% from 1 July 2025, and that Green Tax is US$12 per person per day from 1 January 2025. These rates are not used to calculate a final Baros price here, because the service charge and the sequence in which taxes are applied were not surfaced in the quote.
Which level fits which couple?
Baros suits a couple who want a smaller-island stay reached by speedboat, with half board and named romantic inclusions, and who accept a displayed quote before taxes. The St. Regis suits a couple who want the clearest checked package total, combining taxes, breakfast, dinner and a return seaplane in a beach villa. Soneva Jani suits a couple planning an experience-rich overwater splurge who accept a separate transfer range and meals mostly outside the named experiences. If you are still deciding between beach and water rooms, the room guide below sets out the trade-offs.
Are these all-in prices?
No. International flights are excluded from all three, Baros taxes and fees were not surfaced, and each rate leaves different meals, drinks and activities outside the package.
Why are flights not included?
The origin city is not specified, and long-haul fares vary too widely by departure point and cabin to add a meaningful figure.
Which quote is clearest?
The St. Regis quote, because the checked total already included taxes, all fees, breakfast, dinner and the return seaplane transfer.
Are the meal plans equivalent?
No. Baros and The St. Regis include breakfast and dinner daily; Soneva Jani's Romance Away includes only one candlelit dinner and one floating breakfast, so most meals there are additional.
Are these rates guaranteed?
No. Rates, offers and availability change. Confirm the final total on the official checkout or in writing from the resort before paying.
