Top Things to Consider Before Your Vacation to the Maldives

The mind-boggling question on every longing traveller’s mind, regardless of the destination, is what is the best time to travel, and the archipelagic nation of Maldives is no exception to the question. Lucky for the excited holidaymakers waiting on their long-awaited trip to the Maldives, the country could be described as an almost year-round destination. The majority opinion is that from November through April is “the best time to visit” thanks to the soothing sunshine and clear, azure blue skies, but it is also important to take note that it will also be the time of the year that the country will see the biggest influx of tourists and the peak of prices. May to October is considered the rainy season, so you can expect fewer tourists and scores of attractive deals and prices. In a tropical destination such as the Maldives, a little rain wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

As much as the honeymoon capital and tourist hotspot it is, the Maldives is pretty set back in its ways, and as responsible tourists, it is only right that you respect them. The way you dress has a lot to do in the South Asian island more than you’d think; hence, modesty should always be in mind when picking out your outfits. Feel free to bust out your bikinis and shorts on your resort island, but when heading out to local islands, it is advisable to avoid skimpy, revealing clothes.

The paradisiacal luxury resort islands are far from the real Maldives. For those craving a truly authentic experience, hop aboard a boat from your swanky resort island and set sail to explore Male and some of the other locally inhabited islands to get a taste of what tropical island living is really like.

As you might have already imagined, things to do in a Maldives island, no matter where you choose to stay, are plenty and will surely leave you spoilt for choice. A little bit of research prior to your trip will help decide how you would like to spend your holidays in the tropical island paradise.

Now before you go call off your vacation, you can rest easy, as foreign tourists to the country are allowed to indulge at licensed bars, restaurants, hotels and resorts the likes of Velassaru Maldives. However, being seen inebriated in public can and will get you in trouble with the law.
