But we do not know every single thing about a place when we visit it at first. So, if this is your first time in the Maldives, here are some tips on what you should expect that will make your vacation much easier.
Do not fret over the prices
The Maldives is known for the luxurious experience it provides. You are here to spend your money to get the best services not to fret over it. Think about your budget before you book a Maldives package from India.
It will make the vacation so much easier for you because if you have to think about how much money you are spending before everything you do then you would just be stuck doing math in your brain the whole time, which sounds neither peaceful nor fun.
So think about your bills before you get to the place so you would have nothing to worry about after you are here.
Buy an underwater camera
The Maldives is known for its islands and with islands come a lot of water activities. When you spend so much time on the water on your vacation, would you not want to capture these special memories with your loved ones or even if you are travelling alone.
Buying an underwater camera would be one of the smartest moves before you get to the Maldives. So every time you are under the sea and see something beautiful, you can save that memory with you for a lifetime. After all, that is what a vacation is all about anyway.
Behave appropriately in public
Although you have all the freedom in the resorts and their private islands. Do not forget that the Maldives is a Muslim country with a lot of rules of its own. When you are out on the streets, touring the locality, dress modestly and act appropriately.
Do not wear revealing clothes and do not go on the local beaches in a bikini. There are private beaches here and there for the tourists where you can be yourself and be free, but when you are with the locals, respect their culture and behave appropriately.
Do not drink outside your resort
Another thing that the locals are not a fan of is alcohol. You would not find alcohol in local streets and you would not find any locals drinking it. So do not think about taking a bottle from your resort during your visit to any other place.
And do not even think about taking alcohol with you on the trip. These acts will only get you in big trouble and it is definitely not worth it. But you do not have to worry if you think your vacation is incomplete without booze. Resorts are made on private islands and you have all the freedom in the world to do whatever you want there.
Staying in an overwater bungalow is not a necessity
One of the most famous and attractive parts of the Maldives is its famous overwater bungalows. Although living there is an experience in itself, do not think your vacation would in any way be incomplete if you do not stay in one of these.
There are many other options and many different types of rooms available in the resorts for you to stay in. And believe us when we say these are just as fun. So if it is outside your budget, you do not have to necessarily go for the overpriced stuff. Book whatever is comfortable for you and we guarantee it would be just as luxurious.
