While visiting a new country offers plenty of exciting experiences, one should always be mindful of the local culture and traditions. Travelling to the Maldives, which is a Muslim country, is no exception. Staying at Maldives island resorts such as Naladhu Maldives lets you enjoy the very best the country has to offer. This luxurious Maldives hotel has its own spa as well making for a truly memorable holiday.
Since the Maldives is a Muslim nation, modesty when it comes to clothing is very important when considering etiquette. Dress codes on the island resorts are more relaxed and informal, though beachwear should not be worn at restaurants or dining venues. If you are planning to visit the capital Male make sure to wear attire that covers the shoulders and thighs, especially if heading to places of religious worship such as mosques. Also keep in mind that though tipping is not compulsory since a service tax is charged, you can still leave a tip when service is particularly good and helpful.
