Maldives Promotion House – Agoda Company Pte Ltd (www.agoda.com) is a leading Asia-based, online hotel reservations company, which specializes in securing the lowest discount hotel prices. Agoda.com is part of Priceline.com. For this summer they have deals that start off from as low as USD119.

Nestled in the Indian Ocean, Maldives is about as idyllic as islands get. With crystalline seas, white sand beaches, swaying palms, and colourful coral reefs, the Maldives is also home to some of the world’s most beautiful and luxurious resorts.

What many travellers don’t realize is that a Maldives holiday can be done affordably. Luxury overwater villas that command a premium rate in the high season can be booked during the low period for a fraction of their usual price. Some three- and four-star properties offer all-inclusive promotions for less than USD 150 per night.

Though summer in the Maldives brings increased rain showers and winds from May to September, these stunning coral islands still experience long stretches of fine weather. Mean temperatures aren’t much different to those of the peak season, and although the sun is generally less intense, there’s still plenty of it, with an average of 200 hours per month, which is around six hours of sunshine per day.

Diving is also still possible. Although visibility is reduced a little, dives are less crowded and divers have a better chance of seeing more timid species of fish. The benefits of low season can also be enjoyed at resorts, where beaches are quieter, restaurants more intimate, and staff more attentive.

Agoda.com’s network currently includes more than 150,000 hotels worldwide. The multinational staff of more than 600 professionals, located throughout the world, provides a first-rate reservation service that uniquely combines local knowledge and local connections to provide the best hotel deals to both business and leisure travellers.

In addition, agoda.com customers participate in the agoda.com Rewards Program, earning further discounts and free stays. Unlike programs that limit travellers to a single chain, the agoda.com Rewards Program allows customers to redeem Rewards Points at thousands of hotels around the globe, at any time.

A member of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), agoda.com aims to promote travel by making it more affordable and more accessible to more people.
