Asdu Resort on the North Male Atoll, some 30+ kilometers north of Male airport is one of those Maldives vacation packages locations for people who want to get away from it all.

Having just 30 beachfront bungalows, Asdu is one of the smallest Maldives vacation resorts in the country, making it an idyllic, unspoiled, and informal selection.

Just 20 meters from the white sandy beach, and into the crystal clear lagoon, is a reef which is ideally located for beginning divers who would like to try snorkeling. Experienced divers can go further out off-shore, even into the channels which lead to the Indian Ocean.

Getting to Asdu is part of the fun, and should be considered when booking your Maldives vacation packages. There is a speedboat service to the resort which takes 1 hour, or a traditional Maldivian boat called a dhoni can get there in 3 hours.

Asdu features a sub diving center which includes diving courses (either SSI or PADI) and include everything from 1 day or 1 night dive up to 12 or more, including open water. The team here has hosted more than 70,000 dives are are absolute experts at booking dives for experienced divers and teaching those who want to learn to dive Maldives reefs and underwater adventure.

Because this is a pretty relaxed and informal resort without all the people and fuss of a 5-star facility, the room rates are incredibly reasonable, starting at just $65 per person!! There is no sacrifice in amenities, cleanliness or anything of the sort. This is just an amazingly priced, no-frills getaway which puts it tops on my list for where to stay for anyone on a budget.
