Maldives is a beautiful tourist destination, known to be one of the costliest and very popular for honeymoons, water sports and private vacations for celebrities from around the world.
In this video, I will be going into facts that you should know before you travel to Maldives as a tourist.
I have done a separate video on information for expatraites coming to Maldives for a Job, check out the link in the description box below
Visa for maldives - For tourists the visa is on arrival. You need to have confirmed hotel bookings and return tickets before arrival.
Banned / Items in Maldives - Do not carry any kind of alcohol, pork,Religious materials offensive to Islam, pronograhic materials, Idols of worships, etc - Details
More Information on Male' - The capital of Maldives - www.asokans.com/maldives/male...
International Airport in Maldives - International airport, where you would be arriving is called Velana International airport which is located on an island called Hulhule' which is a separate island for all the airports which includes the international airport, domestic airport and the sea planes. Male' the capital of Maldives is very close to the Airport, but it is a separate island which is visible from the airport.
Traveling from the Airport to the resorts - Your resort will be arranging a pick up from the airport. Your resort would be very near or far from the airport. If it is far, you would be taken on a sea-plane or sometimes on a speed boat.
Resorts in Maldives
Every resort in Maldives is a private island which means that there are no public or locals staying in the island. It's only the resort employees and the guests.
Every resort in Maldives is unique in some way or the other. Beaches in these resorts are very calm and you will enjoy the blue colored water.
You will find the best food and drinks along with other luxuries at every resort in Maldives
What are the things to do in Maldives ?
You can enjoy all kinds of water sports like scuba diving, water skeeing, fishing, snorkelling, etc. You will find all these facilities at your resort.
You can also think about planning a day trip to any nearby island or even Male' the capital of Maldives to understand the local culture.

Very informative! ☝🏼
Well done I have been to Maldives 5 times and been to some expensive and medium-priced resorts. I agree with what you said except that September to December is rainy season. Although January to April is the best time to go and maybe more expensive you can still get good deals. The other thing that needs mentioning is that most resorts would take American Dollars and you are not highly likely to find ATMs on resort islands. Being a Muslim traveller from the UK, I agree with your points regarding alcohol and pork. Most resorts also have mosques as well
Such a wonderful video ! We also really love to travel around the world. We are praying for COVID 19 spread to become almost zero so that All those who love to travel, can enjoy the beauty of nature again.
Honeymoon Couples take notice. Also, all the information on Visa, banned items, idols of worship, such detailed information is given by very few. The fact that you thought about such minute yet very important information is very appreciative. The water sports activities that you mentioned will help many people. This place looks insane from your video. Thank You. Ocean6 Holidays

I can add a VERY relevant thing to the list: European airlines most often let's you pack up to 30kg of luggage while traveling outside of the EU, but...it didn't say anything about the Maldives airlines and sea-transport (sea-plane and domestic flights) only let's you have up to 20kg of luggage. And the rules of the size of the handluggage is smaller in the Maldives than in EU. Bring a normal backpack as hand luggage, not a hard case. I needed to get my laptop and speaker out of the bag and hold it in my hand during the domestic flight in order to board the plane since my luggage weight exceeded the max limit. Just a fyi. And yes. Maldives is truly the Paradise on earth. Visited Nalaguraidhoo in 2018. Will visit Innahura in 2020.

Planing for coco bodu hithi resort is it fair enough for 4 night's 2-water villas and 2- beach villas ? Can you suggest some great breach villa name at coco resort.
How about Indonesian Pasport ? Only return ticket and booking hotel?
Which guesthouse or which local island will you suggest to consider?
Can we plan by own way or we have to do through mmt or yatra.com or any other agency

Hello my friend, I hope you are well in this critical moment that everyone is going through. I would like to ask you something, I am thinking of spending my honeymoon in the Maldives, more specifically at HOLIDAY ISLAND RESORT, and it will be in the first half of September, my question is, is the weather favorable at that time? Or is there a risk of catching winter monsoons? Thanks for your attention, a hug and all the best for the channel!

Hello First of all, congratulations on the good work you do in sharing knowledge about the Maldives. My name is Ricardo, I am from Portugal, and I will go to the Maldives on my honeymoon in the future, more precisely in early May. I have a doubt that you might be able to answer me, at the beginning of May it's still been a long time? I'm a little afraid of being a little out of season. Can you help me? Thank you very much and congratulations on the project.
