Internet Access
For convenient internet access in the Maldives, we recommend getting a local SIM card from one of the reputable providers. Upon arrival, you can easily purchase a SIM card at the airport once you have cleared customs. Our staff will be more than happy to assist you in this process.
Additionally, if you prefer to stay connected while on a boat, WiFi is available onboard for a nominal charge.
Alternatively, you can consider adding the global roaming option to your existing plan. However, it is crucial to be aware of the potential costs involved with your provider before making this decision.
