How many days are enough for the Maldives: Public vs Private islands<\/h3>\n

Before planning your trip, you must know the stay options you can choose. And decide what suits your preferences.<\/p>\n

Public Islands in the Maldives<\/h4>\n

If you love getting to know different cultures, knowing the country’s people, wanting to live the local life, and eating the local food, your only choice should be the Public Islands in the Maldives.<\/p>\n

Only 200 of the over 1,000 islands are inhabited. Consider yourself lucky because, until 2009, tourists were not allowed to visit public Islands. The Suni Muslim Government Decided to avoid any unwanted influence that tourists could have on the locals. So now tourists are allowed and can get cheaper accommodation and pay directly to local business owners instead of to resorts owned by foreigners in private Islands.<\/p>\n

But know this before you choose to stay here: The Maldives is a Muslim country, and if you are on a public Island, you must respect and follow their culture. You can not wear a bikini on a public island, but you can wear one on the Bikini beach. Also, no alcohol can be consumed on any local island.<\/p>\n

Note: Only some public islands have one or two bikini beaches. Make sure to enquire while booking your stay.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Private Islands in the Maldives<\/h4>\n

If you want to experience a luxury stay<\/a>, go to a Private Island. One private resort usually occupies a whole island. Foreigners and reputed hotel operators own each private Island.<\/p>\n

You would be surprised to hear this: Most private Islands are artificially made. The airports you land on are also man-made islands.<\/p>\n

Staying on a Private Island is not as restricted as staying on a public island. You can wear bikinis in any resort and enjoy the alcohol of your choice. But you might not be able to get to know the people of the country or learn about the culture.<\/p>\n

The Must-Visit Islands in Maldives<\/h3>\n

There are 1000+ islands in the Maldives, but there are three that are never missed. Why I suggested these three, out of all the other islands, has a reason. Just visiting these three will give you the whole experience of Maldives. Experience the calmness, agriculture, local buzz, and adventure and have a romantic getaway, all in these three islands.<\/p>\n

Thoddoo Island<\/h4>\n

It’s an inhabited island that is different from other islands in the Maldives. The Island is known as the Fruit Island. It has major agricultural land, among other islands. To truly live the Maldivian agricultural life, this is your best pick.<\/p>\n
