Save More Than 65% at a Maldives Resort
The deal: Lindsey Wallace, the Maldives expert on Wendy's list of top travel specialists, has negotiated a special rate with Alila Villas Hadahaa, a brand-new environmentally friendly resort in the Maldives.
The dates: For travel between August 16 (the resort's opening date) and December 19, 2009. There is no book-by date.
The fine print: Luxury like this doesn't come cheap: An "Island Villa" (the least expensive room category) normally costs $1,183 per night. But Lindsey has negotiated a special rate with the resort: $790 per night, including all taxes and service charges, with every other night free. If you stay an even number of nights, you end up paying an average of $395 per night—which is more than 65% off the rack rate of $1,183.
Wendy's inside tip: You'll also need to pay for transfers to and from the resort. These start at $280 per person.
How to book: Lindsey Wallace of Linara Travel, is the only person who can get you this specially negotiated rate.
