Why you should go: If you're looking for a seriously secluded getaway, this is it — the adults-only Mercure Maldives is the only resort on its Gaafu Alif Atoll island, and with just 68 rooms, its vibe is intimate and serene. Such a postcard-perfect escape more than makes up for any missed getaways from the past two-plus years. What’s the big deal? When the Maldives lifted their COVID protocols earlier this year, we celebrated with this truly value-packed all-inclusive deal: five nights in a beach villa, with perks like domestic flight transfers, excursions (think dolphin cruises), activities and, yes, all meals and drinks. This vacation usually costs $7744 but the price for Travelzoo members? $2889 — that's nearly $5000 off. Oh, and it's for two guests and includes service charges and local taxes, which normally cost more than $1500 per booking. No wonder this deal was a mega hit. Travelzoo tip: We’re bringing it back — but only for three more days. Don’t dillydally and book by June 27. |
