Looking to get over those lockdown blues with a nice long holiday to the Maldives? Well, you couldn’t have picked a better destination! Here is a quick guide to help you prepare for the trip.
A Muslim Nation
Remember that this is a Muslim country which follows Islamic precepts and laws; thus, you cannot bring alcohol or pork products into the country and when on local islands, you need to dress modestly and avoid public displays of affection. However, in the Maldives, holiday resorts on private islands are exempt from such rules.
Private Islands
The country has private islands, each home to a separate resort; you can imagine the amount of seclusion that awaits! You can spend your entire holiday at such properties belonging to brands like Adaaran Resorts; they not only offer beach or overwater accommodation but dining venues, spas, water sports and excursions too.
Transportation
Forget about driving, because the main modes of transport in Maldives is by sea or air! This is because the country has countless islands; once you land near Male, depending on where your resort is located, you will have to take a speedboat, seaplane or ferry each costing differently and providing diverse experiences.
Sublime Weather
With an average temperature of around 32° Celsius, the Maldives is great to visit any time of year; November to April is the peak season when sunny weather prevails, while May to October is when the monsoons arrive; despite the rains, this is still a good time to visit since rates are less and there are better surfing waves.
