If your idea of a perfect holiday includes pristine beaches and luxurious comforts, then the Maldives is your kind of destination! Here are some things to keep in mind when planning your trip.
Island Resorts
When it comes to accommodation, you can choose private island resorts in Maldives. Apart from the sublime seclusion, you can experience stays at beachfront or overwater villas as well as luxury spa treatments and plenty of water sports. Properties like OZEN LIFE MAADHOO additionally offer unique fine dining options at an underwater restaurant!
Getting Around
To reach your resort from the international airport, you will have to take a speedboat or seaplane. As you would expect, travelling by air is relatively expensive and transfers are not always available. Luxury Maldives resorts in the South Male Atoll however can be easily reached by speedboat and some resorts offer transfers 24/7.
Two Seasons
The dry season from November to April is also the peak season for travel to Maldives when you can expect the sunniest weather and fantastic conditions for water sports. The monsoon season runs from May to October and though rains are expected it’s not all the time, while rates and crowds will be less too.
Suitable Attire
The Maldives has 25 to 30°C year-round temperatures so it’s best to bring light cotton or linen attire. You can wear bikinis and two-piece swimwear at private resorts though not at public beaches unless it’s a designated “bikini beach”. Additionally, when at local islands, you must wear attire that covers bare shoulders and legs.
