What you need to pack on your holiday to Maldives

Many people get nervous when it comes to packing for Maldives. Maldives is a tropical island nation in the Indian ocean consists of 1190 low-lying islands with highest point roughly about 6 feet from sea level. However all the islands are naturally protected by a fabulous marine fauna- rich reef which stretches around every island. Out of this about 112 islands are exclusively developed for tourist resorts. 

Unlike city hotels there are no local grocery shops or big shopping malls in the resort island. This makes tourists to wonder what to pack for their holiday.

Here are few suggestions of “must pack” items apart from the light clothing, flip-flops and cosmetics. Though you get 30 kg luggage allowance from international flights, please keep in mind you would be getting 25 kg (20 kg/luggage allowance and 5 kg for hand luggage) in sea plane, if you are taking sea plane transfer to your resort.

 Sunblock / after sun

Maldives enjoys a constant temperature which varies from 29 to 34 degree Celsius and you will be under this hot fierce sun all day. Therefore your skin needs protection from its rays.

Same as sun block this a necessity to protect your eyes from the strong sun rays

Mosquito replant

Just like any other tropical (hot and humid) areas, Maldives too is not an exception when it comes to mosquitoes. Most of the resorts and local islands they do fumigate against mosquitoes however its recommended to bring your own replant.

  

Snorkelling gears

Though you could hire snorkelling equipment from the resort its much better to pack your own, maybe its cheap for you.

Flash light

Its fun to stroll in the night on the peer or on the white sandy beach trying to find unique fishes near the peer or small crabs strolling around the beach. Its also important on your way back to your villa as the path ways are mostly not well lit.

Underwater camera
