'It was an insane adventure, as soon as we left we wanted to go back'
While other holidaymakers shelled out up to £1,300 a night for their sun-drenched getaway, a thrifty traveller has shared how he managed to bag a break for just £500. Kara Wilbur, 23, and her friend, Natasha Whitley, 28, bagged a £950 return flight from London Heathrow on April 1 for their jaunt to Thususdhoo and Dhiffushi in the Maldives.
Kara said she spend around £50-a-day food, activities and travel - she caught a ferry for £1.70, spent £7 on meals out and enjoyed the beaches for free. She said that a disadvantage of the island is that it doesn't allow drinking and most places are closed by 8:30pm but said it means you wake up feeling fresh every day you're there.Kara, a travel content creator, from Denbighshire, Wales, said: "It was an insane adventure, as soon as we left we wanted to go back.
Kara and her friend, Natasha, set off on their travels on April 1 and spent six days in the Maldives before heading to Sri Lanka - where they both are now. They split their time between the islands of Thulusdhoo and Dhiffushi staying in two beautiful beach front rooms at the Beach House by Sii Hotels and the Batutu Surf View Hotel.
Kara said: "Thulusdhoo is really well know for its surfing and we made the most out of the beaches. It is illegal to drink on the islands themselves but legal to drink on the water so we took a boat out to have a drink and watch the sunset."
