Check Visa Requirements:
Indian tourists get a free 30-day visa on arrival in the Maldives — just carry a valid passport and confirmed hotel booking.
Best Time to Visit:
The ideal travel season is from November to April, offering sunny weather and calm seas for water sports.
Currency & Payments:
The local currency is Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), but USD and cards are widely accepted at resorts and restaurants.
Travel Insurance:
Always have comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies and water activities.
Packing Essentials:
Carry light cotton clothes, sunscreen, swimwear, flip-flops, and sunglasses — the Maldives has a tropical climate year-round.
Respect Local Customs:
The Maldives is a Muslim nation; modest dressing is required on local islands and public areas (not in resorts).
Stay Hydrated & Eco-Friendly:
Bring a reusable water bottle and avoid single-use plastics to help preserve the island’s fragile ecosystem.
Connectivity:
Most resorts offer Wi-Fi, but for local island stays, consider buying a Maldivian SIM card for better coverage.
Plan Water Activities in Advance:
Pre-book snorkeling, diving, and water sports to make the most of your stay and secure preferred time slots.
