Avoid overpacking and don’t forget the essentials! Here’s what you should pack for your Maldives vacation:
✅ Must-Pack Items:
- Lightweight, breathable clothing
- Swimwear (at least 2–3 sets)
- Flip-flops and reef shoes
- Reef-safe sunscreen (important for marine life)
- Sunglasses and a wide-brim hat
- Waterproof phone case / dry bag
- Travel adaptor (Maldives uses Type D or G plugs)
- Snorkel gear (some prefer their own)
- Light shawl/sarong for local island visits
- Insect repellent
❌ What to Skip:
- Formal wear (very casual vibes here)
- Alcohol (you cannot bring it into the country)
- High heels (you won’t need them on the sand)
- Large suitcases (soft bags are better for seaplane limits)
Bonus Tip: Bring a GoPro or waterproof camera—you’ll want to capture every second!
