The island collective known as the Maldives has risen out of relative obscurity to become one of the most popular tourism destinations in the world. Their tropical beauty and marine wildlife are equally plentiful and the islands are dynamic enough to ensure that there is something for pretty much anyone to guarantee an unforgettable time.
The main thing to note about the Maldives is their strict clothing restrictions. In public areas, which includes the airport, both men and women cannot expose their shoulders or knees. Any sort of nudity is also strictly forbidden. While the resorts, Maldives has to offer such as PER AQUUM Niyama Maldives would have more lax clothing restrictions, allowing for the wearing of bikinis, going topless anywhere is strictly forbidden. See-through clothing also has much potential to cause offence, so it should be avoided in public areas as well as common areas in resorts such as the dining rooms and lounges.
The next important item you must consider is the transfer to your destination from the airport. Most Maldives resorts are situated on their very own island, which means that getting there will require either a boat or a seaplane. If you arrive at the Maldives unprepared for this, you might end up spending the same cost you did flying into the Maldives, since travel can be very expensive.
It is also recommended that a Maldives vacation is taken for a short duration given the expensive nature of travelling around the country and the fact that you will be spending most of your stay at the resort of your choice. Therefore, less can be more and most people recommend a stay of five days maximum.
As long as you have your background information of Maldives in check, you’re bound to have a travel experience like no other, secluded in serenity and bathed in luxury.
