India to Maldives - A Complete Guide – A bright holiday awaits
Famed across the world today as one of the leading holiday destinations in the world, the Maldives on the Indian Ocean has become the place of choice for many Indians. With the plethora of choices for accommodation in Maldives, deciding where to stay and what to do might be overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help plan your vacation.
Reaching the Maldives by air
The most popular way to reach the archipelago would be via a flight from India. Depending on the city you are travelling from, flights can be as long as 2.5 or even 10 hours.
Reaching the Maldives by sea
If you are looking for a more luxurious mode of transport to reach Maldives from India, why not sign up for a luxury cruise? Keep in mind that the sea route may take longer than simply flying to your destination. Nonetheless, the experience is one of a kind!
Getting around in the Maldives
When you reach the main island, the best way to get to your resort would be by speedboat. You can also charter your flight and hop on a seaplane for a stunning view of the islands while you make your way to your destination. Although this is a little on the pricey side, it is one of the best things to do in Maldives.
Currencies accepted at resorts
The local currency in the Maldives is called the Rufiyaa and this is accepted anywhere on the islands whether at a shop or luxury resort. The next most widely accepted mode of payment would be the USD.
The most important tip…
One thing that you absolutely cannot forget is to respect the conservative, Islamic culture in the Maldives. Bikinis and other open swimwear and casual outfits can only be worn while inside your resort. Visiting a local island will require you to wear clothing that covers your legs, shoulders, and cleavage.
