The best packing lists for Maldives

In the Maldives you usually stay on one small island, and most of it is walked barefoot on sand, so one pair of sandals is plenty. What you actually need is water kit: your own snorkel mask, reef shoes and a long-sleeved swim shirt for the hours spent face-down over the reef.

Good to know for Maldives

Transfers run by speedboat or seaplane, and seaplanes have their own tight luggage limits worth confirming in advance. Spray is part of the crossing, so electronics belong in a waterproof case.

December to April is the dry season with calmer seas, while May to November brings more rain and stronger wind. It is warm throughout, and the sun sits almost directly overhead near the equator.

On resort islands swimwear is fine anywhere; on inhabited islands it is limited to designated bikini beaches, and covered shoulders and knees are the norm elsewhere. The British three-pin dominates the walls with round pins appearing occasionally, and the grid runs at 230 volts.
