The Maldives Islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, but much like any foreign country, there are some attributes you need to be aware of before venturing there.
It’s a Strong Islamic Country
As a result of this, there are some very strict rules that everyone is expected to adhere to. Alcohol is strictly banned in the nation, outside of the resorts, and public displays of affection are also banned, also outside of Maldives island resorts.
One Should be Mindful of Clothing
Revealing clothing of any kind is banned outside of resorts, for both men and women. One should always cover one’s shoulders and knees, and never wear anything see-through. If you’re at a resort such as Kuramathi Maldives, then even bikinis are completely fine, but nudity of any sort, even going topless, is prohibited.
Exotic Marine Life in Abundance
If you’re a diving enthusiast, then the Maldives islands provide some of the best chances in the world for you to witness rare and exotic marine life, from whale sharks to manta rays.
It’s Possible to Snorkel Under Some Islands
Many islands in the Maldives aren’t the usual kinds of landmasses that are formed from the ground up but are atolls made by stacks of coral layers. This means that occasionally, you can swim underneath the islands themselves.
