Tips for First-Time Visitors:
Respect Local Customs:
The Maldives is a Muslim country, so be mindful of local customs, especially when visiting inhabited islands.
Choose the Right Island:
Research to find the island that best suits your interests, whether it’s luxury resorts, diving, or experiencing local culture.
Pack Appropriately:
Bring light clothing, reef-friendly sunscreen, and essentials, as items can be expensive to purchase on the islands.
Stay Hydrated:
With the tropical climate, it’s important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Use USD or Credit Cards:
US dollars and credit cards are widely accepted, especially in resorts.
Be Conscious of the Environment:
The Maldives’ ecosystem is fragile. Avoid touching or stepping on coral and participate in eco-friendly activities.
Explore Underwater Life:
Even if you’re not a diver, don’t miss the opportunity to snorkel in the clear waters to see the vibrant coral and marine life.
