Useful information
Central Maldives

Climat : Northeast Season: December-April (dry monsoon). Southwest season May-November (wet monsoon). Temperatures are around 30˚ C and humidity is 60-80%. Cyclones are rare but possible in April/May and October/November. Average daily air temperature ranges from 28°C to 34°C throughout the year.
Water : Water temps stay consistent all year round at or above 27 °C through the central atolls, sometimes even reaching a balmy 30 °C. Because visibility is so clear, it is best to wear at least a rash vest for some sun protection underwater.
Clothing : Light airy clothes are perfect. Be prepared for plenty of sunshine most of the year.
Plugs : Type G, 2-pin electrical plugs with 230 V @ 50Hz
Flights : International flights arrive directly from many locations to Male. There are reliable and extensive domestic air carriers flying to many places within the country.
- Alcohol and pork products are prohibited. A ‘reasonable quantity’ of tobacco is permitted.
- A local Airport Development Charge (ADC) of US$25 for all international travellers over 2 years of age may be introduced shortly.
Currency : The Local currency is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR/Rf), but is rarely used on tourist resorts. Most transactions are made in US Dollars but other currencies are accepted. Travelers cheques and major credit cards are widely accepted but 5% may be added for credit card transactions. Banks in Male will cash travelers cheques into US Dollars and Rufiyaa may also be purchased. ATM’s can be found in Male.
