The Maldives is a dream destination with stunning beaches, gorgeous sunsets, and luxury island resorts. There isn’t much you can’t do here. From water sports to spa treatments to cruises, it has everything that defines luxury. A visit to this dreamy island paradise is a must. If you feel the same and want to go when you next have some time off, this is what your packing list should look like.
Health
The Maldives has a warm tropical climate, so you’ll need a good sunscreen. A high-quality sunscreen with SPF 50+ is recommended. Bring some aloe vera to soothe sunburns, too. Evenings bring a few mosquitoes, so be sure to bring bug repellent to keep them away.
Clothing
You don’t need any heavy clothes, even if you decide to visit during the rainy season. Bring lightweight, breathable fabrics; linen and cotton are ideal. You’ll be spending a lot of time on the beach, or, if you’re staying in a Maldives water villa with private pool, you’ll be there most of the time. So, you’ll need swimwear – bring some nice, stylish ones.
You might also want to throw in some chic cover-ups. Also, if you’ve selected a resort like Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, you’ll need some smart-casual yet elegant outfits for all the fancy dinners you’ll inevitably be having there.
Electronics
The Maldives is gorgeous, to say the least. To capture beautiful moments during your time there, you’ll need a good camera. Other must-have gadgets include waterproof phone covers, noise-cancelling headphones, a power bank, and a universal travel adapter.
Don’t Bring
Packing light is a must when travelling. Bring only the essentials and leave the rest behind. Here’s what you shouldn’t bring:
- Single-use plastics
- Expensive jewellery
- Alcohol
- Too many shoes – you’ll be spending most of your time barefoot.
