How to Reach

Direct flights to Velana International Airport (MLE) in Male are available from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Kochi via IndiGo, Vistara, and Maldivian. From the airport, you will take a speedboat (for nearby atolls), a seaplane (for distant resorts), or a domestic flight + speedboat to reach your final island.

FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for the Maldives?

No, Indian citizens get a free Visa on Arrival valid for 30 days. You just need a passport valid for at least 6 months, return flight tickets, and a confirmed hotel booking. You must also fill out the IMUGA online declaration within 96 hours of your flight.

Can I carry alcohol from India duty-free?

Absolutely not. The Maldives is a strict Islamic nation. Any alcohol found in your luggage at Male airport will be confiscated. You can only drink at private resorts or on licensed safari boats.

What is the difference between a Resort Island and a Local Island?

Resort islands are private—one island, one resort. They are luxurious, allow alcohol, and you can wear whatever you want, but they are expensive. Local islands (like Maafushi) are where Maldivians live. They have cheap guesthouses, cafes, and strict rules (no alcohol, modest dress, specific bikini beaches).

Is vegetarian food easily available?

Yes! Because a huge percentage of resort chefs and staff are Indian, you'll easily find dal, paneer, and rotis at resorts. On local islands, it's a bit more limited to basic pastas, pizzas, and vegetable curries, but you definitely won't starve.

Are water villas worth the hype and money?

Yes, for the experience, but they are incredibly expensive. A smart hack for Indian travelers is 'split-stay': book a cheaper beach villa for 3 nights, and upgrade to a water villa for your last night to get the photos and experience without blowing your budget.

How much does the seaplane transfer cost?

Seaplanes usually cost between 25,000 INR to 45,000 INR ($300-$550) per person for a round trip. If you are on a budget, look for resorts in the North or South Male Atoll that can be reached by a much cheaper speedboat (3,000 - 8,000 INR).

Do I need to know how to swim to snorkel?

No. Tour operators provide life jackets and will guide you in the water. However, being comfortable in the water helps you enjoy it much more.

What currency should I carry?

US Dollars (USD) are accepted everywhere, including local islands and resorts. You don't need to convert to Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) unless you are eating at very small local cafes on local islands. Credit cards work at all resorts.
