Haha yes,but actually entire maldives is over hyped because of celebs..The waters are blue that you get in andaman also even lakshwadeep is very beautiful..the water villa experience no doubt is memory of lifetime but like spending lakhs on it is not worth it..Also public islands have lot of restrictions there so you do not enjoy much as you do on private islands.but you can book a trip for day to any private island,for entire day you can choose your fav.one and eat,& relax there but in that also day trip people have different access as to tourists staying there na it would also cost atleast 20-25k for day trip so not worth visiting.
Yes, the Maldives is absolutely worth visiting even if you don't spend a fortune on a water villa. That said, during my stay at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, I chose a water villa with a private slide, and it was one of the highlights of the trip. Waking up to uninterrupted ocean views, stepping straight into the lagoon, and sliding into the crystal-clear water from my villa made the experience feel truly special. While beach villas can be just as beautiful, I found the water villa worth the splurge for the unique experience and unforgettable memories it provided.
