    Top Tips for First-Time Travellers


    1. Pack Wisely: Essentials include high SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, and water shoes. Most resorts are casual, but bring something elegant for dining at upscale restaurants.
    2. Respect the Environment: The Maldivian ecosystem is delicate. Avoid touching corals and marine life during snorkelling or diving excursions.
    3. Stay Connected: While disconnecting is tempting, purchasing a local SIM card can be practical for internet access, especially if resort Wi-Fi is expensive.
    4. Local Currency: US dollars are widely accepted, but having some local currency (Maldivian Rufiyaa) is useful for small purchases, especially on local islands.
    5. Understand Resort Transfers: Most resorts require a seaplane or speedboat transfer from Malé airport. These should be arranged in advance through your resort.
