5 Things You Should Know Before Visiting the Maldives - Get acquainted with key information before you head out!

The Maldives is a major tourist destination that is on many people's bucket lists. Over one thousand is-lands make up this archipelago, many of which were converted into private resorts. Here's a post that co-vers everything a traveller needs to know before visiting the stunning Maldives.

1

An archipelagic nation of around 1190 islands

The Maldives, as previously said, is made up of approximately 1200 islands. As a result, when the Mal-dives is mentioned, it refers to the entire group of islands that are scattered across the beautiful Indian Ocean. The islands are divided into 26 atolls. Male is the republic's capital, and it is here that you'll be land-ing when you arrive in the Maldives. You can fly to any of the 200 resort islands right from the Male inter-national airport located here. Remember, a Maldives overwater villa is a popular option for accommodation. If you would like to book one yourself, you can check out the ones offered by properties like OZEN Life Maadhoo.

Just one hour away from Sri Lanka

Another renowned tropical destination is only an hour away from the Maldives. If you are planning a trip to Colombo, you would not be disappointed if you spend a couple of days in the Maldives. You'll be able to hop onto any of the 3 to 4 flights that travel from Colombo to the capital, Male. You may also experience the ideal tropical holiday while visiting two of Southeast Asia's most popular beach getaways.

Visa details and requirements

Tourists to the Maldives are issued visas on arrival, hence no pre-arrival visa is necessary. For all nation-alities, a thirty-day visa is guaranteed. You should, however, ensure that the passport is at least valid for 6 months and you must have a valid ticket home. This is how easy it is to travel to the Maldives!

Alcohol

As the Maldives is an Islamic state, it has severe alcohol restrictions. You are not permitted to carry alco-hol into the nation. So, stay away from the duty-free shops if you're unable to stop yourself from purchas-ing beer, wine, or spirits. If you do, you'll have to leave it at the customs, and you'll be able to pick it on the way back. However, certain hotels and eateries have special alcohol permits that enable them to serve al-cohol.

The peak seasons

It is necessary to consider the optimum dates to visit any country. Each country is distinct from the others. Peak seasons in the Maldives begins in the month of December and will last till March. The main reason for this is the climate. The average temperature in this tropical nation is 28 - 30 degrees Celsius. Showers are common throughout the monsoon season, which runs from April to October. Rainfall is highest between the months of June and August. As a result, most visitors travel to the Maldives at the end of the calendar. However, this is largely dependent on the type of activities you desire to engage in.
