The Maldives will be the first country in the world to launch a loyalty programme

For many, a trip to the Maldives is a "once-in-a-lifetime" holiday, but for those lucky enough to visit the country more frequently, it will soon become possible to earn points under the country's loyalty programme, Maldives Border Miles. The membership will have three levels: Aida (Bronze), Antara (Silver), Abaarana (Gold).

And, similar to other loyalty programmes, you move up tiers when you reach a certain number of points. Privileges and other benefits will become, according to the Maldives Border Miles, enhanced and more exclusive the higher tier you possess. However, the details of the loyalty program have not been released. At this point, we can only speculate about the benefits.

Given the abundance of luxury hotels in the Maldives, we can hope that this will be another possibility to redeem hotel nights, upgrades and freebies at some of the fantastic hotels in the country. For those interested, the loyalty program is anticipated to go live in December 2020.
