Tips

  • If the layover is short, choose a 2–4 hour excursion and leave a margin of time for the way to the airport.
  • Get an eSIM for the Maldives in advance: you will have the internet straight after landing.
  • Choose covering clothes for a walk round the city: the Maldives is a Muslim country.
