TimetableThe hours vary greatly depending on the type of island you choose. Some bars on private islands run 24 hours a day, others close at 1am. Some hotels have a happy hour before dinner where you get a free drink for a purchase. On the local islands, there are few places where you can have a drink (even without alcohol) after 11pm.
Budget & TipsAlcohol is a very controlled import product and is subject to high taxes. It is necessary to count at least 13 to 15 US$ for a cocktail.
To be bookedThere is no place to go out in the Maldives, except for the cafes on the local islands or the bars in the island hotels. The more festive islands have live bands and DJs on certain nights, but reservations are not required.
Night transportThe only islands served by buses are Hulhumale and Addu. Buses usually run between 6am and 11pm. Timetables can be found at www.mtcc.mv.
Age restrictionsThe consumption of alcohol is generally prohibited in the Maldives. However, it is permitted on the island hotels and floating bars off the local islands. The consumption of alcohol is prohibited for minors under 18 years of age.
What's very localThere is no particular dress code for partying in the Maldives. You are a resident of the hotel and come as you please, although it is true that most guests appreciate a little effort in the evening. Some hotels have a tradition of having a 'white party' once a week.
SmokersIn theory, smoking is not allowed in enclosed public spaces. But these are rare in the Maldives due to the generous climate.
Tourist trapsThe Maldives is a very safe country and there are no scams or tourist traps in particular.
