Is the Maldives the next on your bucket list of destinations to visit? Then have a look at this packing list that covers essential clothing items that you will need during your holiday.
Imagine sporting the most fancy, brightly-coloured swimsuit when in the Maldives? Well then, what’s stopping you from going all out for the private islands that feature prominently in this part of the Indian Ocean and are reputed for their seclusion and sprawling stretches of the white, powdery beach? Ideally speaking, having a good selection of around 2-3 pairs of swimming wear is recommended. Also, venture a step further and purchase those of a brighter shade so that you will always be seen in contrast to the turquoise oceans of the Maldives. A swimsuit bearing a tropical print can be a great starting point.
Although keeping fit as a fiddle will not be a top priority for most vacationers arriving in the Maldives, one can never go wrong by packing a list of colourful tops and leggings. With these in your luggage, kick-starting your day with some sunrise yoga or hitting your hotel’s or resort’s gymnasium will be a thing of the past and importantly, place you in prime position to enjoy a more balanced outing in these isles that offer enough and more reason to simply let loose and bask in a truly tropical vibe.
Given that hot and humid weather dominates the entirety of the archipelago, it is prudent to be seen attired in appropriate and comfortable clothes and accessories. One such item that would particularly be of interest to the ladies is a long light dress. Aside from its wavy appearance, a long light dress will never be found clinging to your body which can help enhance personal comfort levels considerably when moving about.
Dining in Maldives is more than a mere gathering to celebrate the flavours of an island paradise for it affords every opportunity to look your best in an item of clothing that showcases the ‘real’ you. In this sense, a mini dress will be your perfect complement to that romantic dinner outing with that special someone under a star-filled sky. In fact, if you decide to be based at Huvafen Fushi Maldives which is home to its own delightful island, then you can explore every nook and cranny of the area while wearing the most appealing mini dress in your wardrobe.
Do away with the thought of bringing along shoes and corresponding paraphernalia for these sparkling surroundings where one can either wear one’s favourite pair of sandals or better yet, walk barefoot across an island of one’s choosing.
A holiday in the Maldives will see to it that you spend a major part of your time within its glorious outdoors which can range from sunbathing on the beach or heading for the water en route to learning a brand new hobby. Regardless of your intentions and aspirations, being well protected from the sun’s rays would be of paramount importance so that you stay well clear from falling prey to heat strokes and headaches. Thus, never forget to include a sunhat and that too with a wider brim when deciding on what items to take and what to ignore.
Excessive glare and radiation can throw a spanner in the works for you and worse, can lead to eyestrain and reduced vision during your time out in the sun. To address this, a pair of polarized sunglasses must be penned down in your packing list of ‘must haves.’ On top of reducing eyestrain and glare, your vision will improve by leaps and bounds and essentially, you will be safer.
