If ever there was a time for a holiday it is now! The good news is that the Maldives is open for tourists once more so you can start planning that much-needed vacay.
When Did the Country Reopen?
The country reopened its international borders for tourists on 15th July 2020. As part of a systematic plan put in place in the Maldives, holiday resorts have been opening in phases; most are now in operation providing all the family fun or romantic escapes a traveller desires.
Are Resorts Safe to Stay At?
The short answer is “yes”! Resorts on private islands are self-contained and provide more safety, while they keep to guidelines from local health authorities and the World Health Organisation. Hospitality brands like Adaaran Resorts Maldives also have additional stringent health and sanitisation protocols so guests can rest easy.
Are There Any Entry Conditions?
Keep in mind you need to check regularly for COVID-19-related updates in the country since guidelines may change; as of the time of writing, tourists arriving in Maldives need to provide a negative PCR test result taken at least 96 hours before arrival. Additionally, an online health declaration form has to be filled too.
Which Airlines Are Flying to Maldives?
More and more airlines are flying into the country so travellers should keep checking. As of now, the country is serviced by airlines such as Emirates, Aeroflot, Qatar Airways, British Airways, SriLankan Airlines, Etihad Airways and Air India. It is hoped that East Asian airlines will soon begin flights as well.
