How to stay connected anywhere in the Maldives

The Maldives consists of nearly 1,200 islands - small and separated by many kilometers of ocean.

Reliable and stable connectivity everywhere isn't guaranteed, but we'll share how to stay online! 

By the way, many Maldivian resorts adhere to the "no shoes, no news" concept, encouraging guests to perform an informational detox.

For those planning to stay connected, create and share awesome content:

1. Roaming
   Simply allow data transfer abroad in your phone settings - and the problem is solved. The final bill for communication services can pleasantly surprise even the most affluent.

2. Wi-Fi
Large local islands have "hot spots" located in cafes, restaurants, and hotels, with free access. It's not available everywhere.

3. eSIM
Internet and connection that travel with you! On the Maldives, eSIMs are available from both international providers (Airalo, Mobimatter, Unisim, Drimsim, Yesim) and local operators (Dhiraagu and Ooredoo Maldives).

4. SIM card at the airport upon arrival in Male and at local service offices.

Enjoy the Maldives while staying connected!
