Tips to know before planning a trip to the Maldives – Planning your tropical getaway

If what you are searching for is a romantic getaway amidst a tropical charm, the Maldives is the perfect destination for you to travel to during your next holiday. Before getting ready for all the experiences it has to offer. Here are some tips you should be knowing when planning your tour.

1

Be mindful about the weather

Plan your tour according to the weather conditions. They say the Maldives is at its best from November to April, and that's not wrong at all. But, if you plan your tour during this peak season, you'll have to face sky-high prices for accommodations as well as for air flights. So, why not schedule your trip during the shoulder season (which means the season between the peak and off seasons)?

2

Book hotels and flights online in advance

At an overwater villa in Maldives the likes of The Nautilus Maldives, you are sure to realise your dream of spending a luxury stay on a secluded island. Don't expect these exclusive experiences to come at cheap rates, because they will simply not. But, try booking them online in advance because sometimes, you can expect great discounts and offers when you do so. The same rule applies to your flight bookings as well.

3

Know the basic unwritten rules of the country

Maldives is a country that has a Muslim community. So, there are certain rules and regulations that you should adhere to when you are there. You can't take pork or alcohol to the country, and you will need to adjust yourself to the concept of modest clothing (especially when you go out in public). However, you should also know that there will not be any restrictions to wear whatever you want to wear and to consume alcohol at your chosen resort.

4

Research about the prices of various water sports

It's okay to plan to try many water sports during your days in the Maldives. But, research about them first. The Maldives is a paradise for water sports such as diving, sea-kayaking, parasailing, whale watching, and many others, and each of these activities has their rates. So, get to know about their rates much in advance, and compare the rates with others. Also, if the resort you are choosing provides you some complimentary water sports activities, be aware of them too.

5

Pack only what's most needed

You are going to travel to a tropical destination, so don't forget your sunscreen, sunglasses and your hat! Do not try to pack all your high heels for this tour, because you will not need them at all. And about the dresses, do not carry mini-skirts and sleeveless tops since you will have to adopt a modest clothing policy when you are in the Maldives. Take your first-aid kit with you (especially if you have ever been allergic to seafood in your life) and take your DSLR as well because the photo backgrounds you find there are simply splendid.
