Hotels [edit]

The number of hotels on the islands is limited, they must be booked in advance via special travel agencies, and they are not cheaper than hotels in the Maldives. So a trip to Laccadives will cost you same as a trip to the Maldives.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Agatti Airport (AGX). Next take a helicopter or local boat.

There are also big ships from Kochi to different islands of Laccadives. We don't recommend this option, as the journey takes a lot of time and the conditions on board are extremely uncomfortable.
