Travel health for Maldives

Warm and humid year-round, with a wetter monsoon roughly May to October. Almost everything happens on or beside the water.

Before you travel

Warm and humid year-round, with a wetter monsoon roughly May to October. Almost everything happens on or beside the water.

During your flight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Resort islands manage insects actively, but repellent is still useful at dusk, especially on local islands and vegetated atolls.

Sun & heat

The most demanding sun of any destination on this site: equatorial, reflected off white sand and water, with long hours in it. Reef-safe SPF 50+ and a rash guard beat reapplying alone.

Food & water

Resorts provide treated drinking water. The practical concerns here are sun, dehydration and minor reef cuts rather than water safety.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
