Packing for a Maldives holiday package can be a daunting task, but with our guide, you'll be able to pack like a pro and make the most of your Maldives vacation.

1. Wraps, scarves & something conservative:

As the Maldives is a Muslim country, it's important to be respectful and dress conservatively, particularly on arrival at the airport, in the capital of Male, and in the villages. Once you're at your resort, you won't need to worry about covering up as there will mostly be tourists around. Make sure to pack a large scarf that can be worn over your shoulders and at least one pair of loose, light trousers or a long skirt or dress.

2. Swimwear & beach cover-ups:

Consider swimwear something of your Maldives uniform. At least ninety per cent of your Maldives holiday package will be spent on the beach, in the water, or under the water, so take a couple of swimsuits with you to mix-and-match with a few cover-ups or kaftans. Make sure to pack at least one full swimsuit, as you'll be doing plenty of swimming, snorkelling and possibly even scuba diving.

3. Sunhat, sunscreen lotion & sunnies:

It's essential to be sun-safe, so pack a sun hat, sunscreen and sunglasses for protection from the intense sun. To prevent getting sunburned, start your holiday using 50 SPF sunscreen and then switch to 30 SPF after 5 or 6 days.

4. Sandals:

Many Maldives islands have a “no shoes, no news” policy, so you'll end up ditching your footwear as soon as you arrive at your resort. Pack a pair of sandals and if you're dressing up to celebrate a special occasion and aren't too keen on going barefoot, opt for a pair of barefoot sandals to add some sparkle to your outfits.

5. Underwater camera:

With flawless water clarity, you'll want to capture the unbeatable snorkelling and scuba diving experiences. You'll find three-quarters of the world’s reef fish population among these coral atoll islands, and you're also pretty much guaranteed close-up encounters with manta rays, dolphins and whales. If you've been thinking about investing in an underwater camera, now's the time to get one.

6. e-Reader:

7. Dry bag:

You'll more than likely be spending a fair amount of time on boat trips between islands, or to dive sites if you'll be scuba diving. For this reason, a dry bag is a convenient solution for keeping all of your valuables and clothing safe and dry.
