Planning a trip to the Maldives? The archipelago is one-of-a-kind, and there are a few essentials to not miss out on when heading to the Maldives.
The right clothing
Do keep in mind that the Maldives tends to be quite warm, so it is essential to pack light and airy clothes so that you don’t sweat too much. Furthermore, don’t forget appropriate swimwear, and take more than one as you’re sure to spend a lot of time in either the pool or the beach.
Sunscreen
Expect a lot of sunshine! While getting a tan is part of your holiday, it’s always recommended that you carry a bottle of SPF with you to protect your skin as much as possible. Remember to carry it in your bag when you travel in the Maldives; for instance, when you go island hopping.
A hat
Apart from sunscreen, it’s recommended you also take a hat with you. A hat will help to protect you from the harsh rays of the sun.
Insect repellents
The Maldives is a tropical island, so expect a few insects here and there! In order to avoid this, it’s also best that you carry an insect repellent with you. However, you can also contact one of the Maldives luxury villas the likes of Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences and check if it provides it themselves before bringing your own.
