Maldives Top Tips
To ensure your holiday to the Maldives is as enjoyable as possible, we have some top tips for you.
Pack well
Although your international flight might be 23kg and above, a domestic or seaplane flight will be stricter at about 20kg, so check this before packing. The majority of what your will be wearing will be swim wear during the day, make sure you pack something to just throw on to go into restaurants and bars such as a Kaftan or t-shirt. make sure you take a few as there is nothing worst than sandy clothes. Most restaurants will be smart casual, so check out where you may want to eat and pack appropriately. Take basic medicine with you that you use, but ensure it is not a band substance due to the Maldives being a muslim country. Also don't forget Mosquito repellent and insect bite cream. A MUST is a waterproof camera, or at the very least a waterproof cover for your camera phone. Underwater pictures of the family are some of the best that will be and stay in your family album whether printed or digital.Snorkelling gear
As advised before, unless you are an avid diver and have your own equipment, leave this at home as it will only add to the weight of your luggage that can be restrictive with a seaplane transfer. Guests of JA Manafaru can avail to complimentary usage of snorkelling gear at their Dive centre.
Home comforts
Remember you are on a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean and although the very best hotels stock up with everyones favourite chocolate, snacks or even your toiletries etc… they won’t have everything so make sure you take not just what you need, but what you want and will miss. As The Maldives is a Muslim country, you do need to abide by their laws of importing certain items, so please research this before travel.Beach or Water Villa?
Everyones instant picture of the Maldives is water villas over the turquoise water of the Indian Ocean. Depending on who you are travelling with will play a huge part in choosing your room. A water villa, perched over the azure water that you can dive into first thing in the morning is fabulous, however if you love the beach and especially if you have kids, a beach villa will most probably be better suited. You can however if on a special holiday such as an anniversary or honeymoon, mix a water villa stay with a beach stay and get the best of both worlds.
