Halal Maldives Travel

YES, absolutely! Maldives has been a 100% Muslim country for centuries. ALL food served (meat, chicken, fish) is halal by default without exception. In private resorts, pork and alcohol are clearly labeled and handled separately. On local islands (Maafushi, etc.): zero alcohol, zero pork, 100% halal everywhere. Maldives is THE ultimate halal destination.

Overwater Villa: Iconic Maldives experience, 360° sea view, direct staircase into lagoon, maximum privacy, romantic for couples. BUT more expensive. Beach Villa: Direct private beach access, tropical garden, more spacious (ideal for families), often cheaper. TIP: Combine both! 3 nights beach + 4 nights overwater. For honeymoon: overwater. For family: beach villa.

You arrive at Velana Airport (Malé). 3 options: Speedboat (20-60 min, included), Seaplane (20-45 min spectacular flight, supplement €300-600), Domestic flight + speedboat (remote resorts). Transfers are organized by resort - a representative meets you at airport. VIP service. If limited budget: choose speedboat-accessible resort. If comfortable budget: seaplane is magical!

HIGH SEASON (Nov-Apr): Dry season, blue sky, calm sea. Temperatures 28-30°C. Ideal for snorkeling. BUT high prices (+30-50%). Best months: Jan-Mar. LOW SEASON (May-Oct): Short but frequent showers. Attractive prices (-30-40%), less crowded resorts. Best months: May or Sep-Oct. BUDGET TIP: May or Sep-Oct. LUXURY TIP: Jan-Feb. Avoid: Jun-Aug (heavy rains).

YES! Most resorts have a mosque for Muslim staff (accessible to guests). In your villa: prayer mats provided on request, Qibla direction (toward Mecca) indicated. You can pray in complete privacy in your villa. Local islands: mosques open to tourists, call to prayer 5 times/day. Malé Airport: modern prayer room. Maldivians are very respectful of religious practice.

Absolutely! Private villas with pool: TOTAL FREEDOM! Swim as you like, zero eyes. Private resort beaches: Burkini and hijab accepted without problem. Local islands: Modest dress recommended (burkini perfect). TIP: Invest in quality burkini. You will swim in complete peace! Maldives is THE country where Muslim women can swim freely without judgment.
