The Best Sunscreen You Can Find
Located along the equator, the Maldivian sun is intense. Opt for SPF 50+ for optimal coverage and remember to reapply frequently after swimming, and in between any outdoor activities in Maldives. Additionally, make sure your sunscreen is reef-safe, to protect both your skin and the archipelago’s delicate coral ecosystems.
Lightweight Clothing, For Tropical Weather
Stay cool in the tropical heat, and bring a wardrobe of lightweight linens and breathable clothing. Include beachwear, flip flops, casual attire, and a smarter evening outfit for any luxury or romantic dinners at your resort, such as an overwater meal at Adaaran Prestige Vadoo Maldives.
Modest Wear For Local Excursions
While bikinis are fine at resorts, dress modestly when visiting local islands or Malé. For those looking to explore local beaches and cultural attractions, pack lightweight long-sleeves and pants, as well as swimsuit coverups to respect cultural norms.
Chargers & Adaptors: Essential Electronics
Ensure you have chargers for all your devices and a universal adapter. While most resorts cater to various plug types, having your own ensures you’re always prepared.
Chronic Medication, Insect Repellent & First Aid
Although most resorts will have basic medical care and procedures for emergencies, it can be difficult to find specific chronic medication that is readily available. Bring any prescribed medication you need, plus effective insect repellent to have at hand during outdoor excursions.
