Each Maldives island has its own special advantages. But they all have one thing in common: they are a safe haven for vacationers even in difficult times.
White palm beaches, crystal-clear seas, exclusive luxury resorts, breathtaking underwater worlds - and perfect social distancing. This is what true vacation paradises look like this winter. There are plenty of them in the Maldives. The archipelago consists of 1,190 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. This makes keeping your distance a breeze. Added to this is the one-island-one-resort concept, which ensures that only the guests and staff of your own hotel are to be found on the atoll on which you are staying. In this way, everyone seeking relaxation will find a safe haven. Just how much effort is put into the safety of holidaymakers here is demonstrated by the recognition recently awarded to the Maldives by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC): The tropical island nation was awarded the Safe Travels Stamp, which recognizes efforts to implement improved health and safety measures.
And there are good reasons for this: The Ministry of Tourism has issued a COVID-19 Safe Tourism Policy and a certification program for compliance with appropriate safety and hygiene standards. All resorts and tourist facilities have been scrutinized to ensure that they comply with COVID-19 tourism guidelines. But the guests themselves also contribute a great deal to a relaxed vacation: A confirmed booking with a tourism company registered with the Ministry of Tourism is mandatory. Since October, a negative PCR test is required, which is carried out 96 hours before departure. Upon arrival, visitors to the Maldives receive a 30-day visa free of charge. An online health declaration form should be submitted within 24 hours prior to departure. It is available to travelers at imuga.immigration.gov.mv.
You can also easily check online at any time which islands will be welcoming visitors again and when. For those who can't decide between all the tempting offers, since October it has also been possible to experience more than one resort in the Maldives as well as other types of accommodation such as diving safaris and guesthouses with a split stay. And if time is still too short for all the wonderful highlights you have planned? Then just come back!
The Maldives Border Miles program is a new loyalty program that is based on the number of visits and length of stay and awards additional points on special occasions. It will come into effect in December 2020.
