Transportation
Inter-island transport relies heavily on seaplanes, speedboats, and local 'dhoni' ferries. Velana International Airport is the main international gateway. Within resorts, walking and golf buggies are common.
Specialty cuisine
Maldivian cuisine revolves around three main staples: fish (especially tuna), coconut, and starches like rice and tubers. Dishes are often spicy and influenced by Indian and Sri Lankan flavors. Must-try dishes include garudhiya (a clear fish broth), mas huni (shredded smoked tuna with coconut and onion), and various curries.
Etiquette and Tipping
- While a 10% service charge is often included on bills at resorts, it is customary and appreciated to tip for excellent service. Tipping in US dollars is preferred.
- A simple verbal greeting and a smile is standard. The Maldives is a Muslim country, so dressing modestly by covering shoulders and knees is recommended and respectful when visiting local islands.
