Frequently Asked Questions
Can we drink alcohol on Maafushi?
<p>No. Maafushi is a local island, so alcohol is not sold, and swimwear is worn only on the tourist beach. A day at a nearby resort or a floating bar can be added.</p>
Maafushi or a private resort?
<p>Maafushi is much cheaper and has a local feel. A resort gives you a private island, villas and all-inclusive meals. Our Maafushi & Private Resort tour lets you try both.</p>
Do Nepali citizens need a visa for the Maldives?
<p>No visa is needed before you fly. Every visitor gets a free 30-day visa on arrival. You need a passport valid for six months, your return ticket and hotel booking, and the free IMUGA traveller declaration filled in online within 96 hours of your flight. We help you with it.</p>
Are flights from Kathmandu included?
<p>No. Most routes to Malé connect once, often in Colombo, Delhi or Kuala Lumpur. We quote the best fare for your dates and add it to the booking.</p>
