The Maldivian people are renowned for their warmth and hospitality. However, as a Muslim nation, the Maldives upholds stringent customs and public conduct regulations. In the capital city of Malé and on local inhabited islands, it is essential to dress modestly, covering the shoulders and knees, and to refrain from wearing swimsuits in public areas.
Alcohol is strictly forbidden on local islands, including Malé, and its consumption or possession is illegal.

Internet connections are often available in hotels and resorts, but may be less reliable on more remote islands. Wi-Fi may have to be paid for in some establishments.
Safety
The Maldives is considered a safe destination for tourists, especially in the island hotels which have their own security. Nevertheless, it is advisable to remain vigilant on the local islands and not to leave valuables unattended. When participating in water activities, follow the safety instructions of your guides and be aware of currents, which can be strong in certain areas.

The resorts offer a varied international cuisine, while the options on the inhabited islands are more limited and local. Bottled water is recommended as tap water is not safe to drink.
