The Maldives is a tropical country, with less or no rains all throughout the year. So, you can't expect this island nation to be cold and gloomy with no sun. Whatever you do in the Maldives, you will have to get exposed to the sun, which can sometimes be a great hindrance. So, the best thing is to be prepared for the sun. Include all sorts of sun protection in your luggage and this means taking a sun hat, sun cream, and sunglasses with you when you go.
