Important information about your destination
Customs and traditions
The Maldivian people are renowned for their warmth and hospitality. However, as a Muslim nation, the Maldives upholds stringent customs and public conduct regulations. In the capital city of Malé and on local inhabited islands, it is essential to dress modestly, covering the shoulders and knees, and to refrain from wearing swimsuits in public areas.
Alcohol is strictly forbidden on local islands, including Malé, and its consumption or possession is illegal. However, private island hotels and resorts are permitted to serve alcohol to their guests. Visitors are advised to respect these rules to avoid any misunderstandings with the local authorities. When visiting a mosque, it is essential to remove shoes and wear covering clothing to enter.

Electricity and internet access
Voltage in the Maldives is 230V, with D and G plugs ( similar to the UK), although not all establishments use this type of plug. We recommend that you bring a universal adapter for extra safety. Internet connections are often available in hotels and resorts, but may be less reliable on more remote islands. Wi-Fi may have to be paid for in some establishments.
Safety
The Maldives is considered a safe destination for tourists, especially in the island hotels which have their own security. Nevertheless, it is advisable to remain vigilant on the local islands and not to leave valuables unattended. When participating in water activities, follow the safety instructions of your guides and be aware of currents, which can be strong in certain areas.

The local currency is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), although the US dollar (USD) is widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and dive centres. Cash is recommended for tips and small expenses, although credit cards are accepted in most tourist establishments.
Weather
The Maldives enjoy a warm tropical climate throughout the year. The best time to visit is from November to April, during the dry season, with sunny weather and little rainfall. The rainy season, from May to October, is characterised by tropical showers and stronger winds, although the days remain warm and sunny.
Languages
The official language of the Maldives is Dhivehi. However, English is widely understood and spoken in hotels, restaurants and tourist areas.
Accommodation quality
The quality of accommodation varies from guesthouses on local islands to luxury hotels and villas on stilts in resorts. The standard of comfort and service in Maldivian hotels is generally high, although this may vary in accommodation on local islands.
Food quality
Maldivian cuisine is influenced by Indian, Sri Lankan and Arabic flavours, with heavy use of fish, coconut and spices. The resorts offer a varied international cuisine, while the options on the inhabited islands are more limited and local. Bottled water is recommended as tap water is not safe to drink.
