Maldives travel tips
Dos
Dress modestly on inhabited islands
It is the local custom that women must cover their legs and shoulders, while men must wear long pants instead of shorts. Topless bathing suits and bikinis are strictly banned outside non-resort islands. The resorts have tourist-friendly rules, where you are free to wear a swimsuit.
Remove shoes before entering a mosque or home
It is necessary to enter barefoot in a mosque. Even in residential areas remove shoes outside as a sign of courtesy. If you are confused then look around and see what the locals do before they enter a home and follow or take their friendly advice.
Choose souvenirs carefully
The local crafts are designed from turtle shells or coral. You can purchase them on the islands but exporting is illegal. Therefore choose souvenirs that you can carry back home or at the airport, you will be asked to leave them.
Bring lots of sunscreens
Maldives experiences abundant sunlight as it is on the equator the sunlight received is at 90°C. Therefore the risk of UV damage on the skin surface increases. Therefore bring plenty of strong sunscreen on your Maldives trip.
Don’ts

As the Maldives lies remotely, it has limited network connectivity. Never expect speedy and free internet services. If you are planning to carry your work on the vacation trip then be ready to encounter WiFi problems.
Never involve in PDA [Public Display of Affection] on populated islands
PDA on populated islands like Malte City is very offensive for LGTBQ and straight couples. It can trigger punitive action. Being an Islamic nation, strict rules are observed and it includes keeping your hands on your sides, especially in public. When outside the resort even honeymooners must avoid holding hands or kissing in public.
Never carry banned things
