Maldives is the ultimate bucket list destination with its crystal clear waters, overwater bungalows, and vibrant marine life. Here are 10 things you need to know before you fly:
- **Choose your transfers wisely**: Speedboats are cheaper than seaplanes. Resorts further away require seaplanes, which only fly during daylight. Keep flight arrival timings in mind.
- **Local Islands vs Private Resort Islands**: Maldives is a Muslim country. Local islands are budget-friendly, but you must dress modestly and alcohol is banned. Private resorts allow bikinis and serve alcohol.
- **Best time to visit**: November to April is dry season. May to October is monsoon. Monsoons offer the best rates!
- **Bring US Dollars**: Local currency is Maldivian Rufiyaa, but US Dollars are widely accepted everywhere.
- **Pack Reef-Safe Sunscreen**: Protect the fragile coral ecosystem.
