5 Tips for an Unforgettable Trip to the Maldives

Do you dream of sitting on an immaculate beach, surrounded by spectacular turquoise water? No need to stare at the laptop’s screen saver. This place really exists!

Similar to Paradise on Earth, the Maldives is a destination coveted by many tourists, eager to discover a different world. Located in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India, the Republic of Maldives consists of a group of atolls, 26 to be exact, which make up a territory of 1192 islands, of which only 250 are inhabited.

Spectacular beaches with fine sand, palm trees, tranquility, and water of an unprecedented color, in another corner of the world. This is what attracts you to the Maldives, being one of the favorite destinations of newlyweds.

To fully enjoy this unique experience in life, you need to take into account a few tips and memorable moments are guaranteed.

Enjoy an authentic experience with the locals. To fully feel the vibration of the islands, try something new. Visit one of the areas inhabited by Maldivians and discover their traditions and lifestyle.

Until 2009, tourists needed a permit to explore the area outside the resorts, but today residents are open to both day trips and overnight accommodation. Thus, you will be able to dance to Bodu Beru rhythms (traditional folk music) or taste dishes such as Radhika (a type of sweet or spicy tapas).

Adjust your outfit when visiting inhabited areas. When spending time with locals, including in the capital area Malé, make sure that the clothing is modest and covers the shoulders, elbows, and knees. It is preferable to adopt a light style, without molded clothes.

Couples are advised not to show their affection in public, because, being in a predominantly Muslim country, there are rules that must be followed even by tourists. Inside the resort, however, you can enjoy privacy and adopt any outfit. However, staying at the beach topless is prohibited regardless of location.

Don’t forget the clothes for romantic evenings. Although the resorts practice barefoot walking and a relaxed attitude, when choosing a luxury restaurant you will have to adapt a little. While the ladies easily get away with a steamy dress, the gentlemen will need a pair of long pants and a shirt, despite the tropical heat. Given this, if you plan to dine at any restaurant, make sure you pack a pair of smart, lightweight pants and a shirt with sleeves and a collar.

Make sure you get the best underwater camera for lifelong memories. The Maldives allows you to enjoy the best diving. If you are planning a treat with such sports, take into account the quality of the camera. You will be able to relive unique moments even when you return home.

Don’t expect perfect weather. The overall impression of the Maldives is based on the image of clear water and white sand, things we can’t contradict, but even in Paradise, there are problems. The best time for a holiday in the Maldives is between November and April, and the high tourist season is between December and March. Starting in May, the weather is less predictable (but rarely too capricious).

In other words, the Maldives is truly a destination worth mentioning in the bucket-list.
