As the world's borders progressively reopen, you'll have to pick your next vacation spot wisely. In the Maldives, resorts are places where you can easily social distance since there is usually just one on each distant island, and it only accepts a limited number of guests. Here are some suggestions for post-COVID Maldives travel. Make sure you pay heed to the advice below to have a hassle-free trip.

Inbound travellers should follow travel standards that have been established

In order to ensure the safety of all visitors, the Maldives' Health Protection Agency has made it a requirement for all incoming visitors to submit a negative PCR test when they arrive in the country. The results of the PCR tests must not be more than 96 hours old. All visitors to the Maldives are obliged to file an electronic health declaration no later than 24 hours prior to their arrival in the country of origin. It is recommended that guests who have had previous contact with a confirmed or suspected case within a two-week period or persons who seem to have a fever or breathing symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, or breathlessness within the previous 14 days refrain from travelling to the Maldives. When making a reservation, it is essential that you examine the airline's safety and sanitary procedures, as well as its criteria.

Insurance for incoming travellers under the COVID-19 code

While on vacation in the Maldives, you may purchase a COVID-19 insurance plan, which will reimburse you for specified expenditures incurred as a result of a positive diagnosis of COVID-19. You may purchase this plan ahead of your departure and enjoy your vacation in the Maldives with the guarantee of safety as well as the peace of mind that this plan provides you.

Select a resort that is near to the airport

You wouldn't want to board another seaplane or domestic aircraft to go from the international airport in Male to the hotel or resort. It's expensive and troublesome. Resorts such as Adaaran Prestige Water Villas are located close enough to the airport and you can reach via a speedboat from the airport easily. You will indeed be picked up at the airport's international arrival terminal and brought to the speedboat, which will depart immediately. Also, choose resorts that offer all kinds of activities to do in Maldives. This would make it easy for you as you don't have to travel afar to try these activities.

Medical care is offered at all resorts, where stringent health regulations are followed

Most of the resorts in the Maldives have upgraded their safety and hygiene measures, and are following governmental and WHO laws and regulations, not only to ensure that their visitors may enjoy their vacations in comfort and safety but also to ensure that their employees can do the same. Temperature inspections and slightly modified service processes are done with care to ensure that your resort experience is not disrupted in any way.

Select a resort that has a proven track record in hospitality and visitor service

Regardless of how expensive an island resort is, for the ideal vacation, you want dependable service as well as care and attention. Check with your resort to ensure that they are communicating effectively and that you are informed of any travel restrictions and updates for the Maldives. You will also want to reserve a resort with a flexible refund policy in case you are unable to go on your vacation due to travel limitations or ill-health while on vacation. As a result of COVID-19-related travel restrictions, most resorts have amended their cancellation policy accordingly.
