First time visiting the Maldives? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Start by booking a flight into Malé International Airport. From there, your resort may arrange a speedboat or seaplane transfer. Remember to pack light (and reef-safe sunscreen), and respect local customs when visiting inhabited islands. U.S. and EU citizens get a 30-day free visa on arrival, and English is widely spoken. Keep in mind that alcohol is only available at licensed resorts, and Fridays are observed as the local day of prayer.
