Such a useful post. Thanks for all the advice. I’ve always been reluctant to fo to the Maldives because of what I heard of their strict application of Muslim law and what it could mean for women. But maybe It’s not like that?
I personally didn't observe/heard of situations in Maldives where female tourists had to comply with strict rules. Probably as a tourist visiting a local island like Maafushi I would try to be more mindful of local customs.

That's a good question.

Curious to hear other experiences or thoughts!
Thanks. I meant for women there.
Hmm, I see! Can't really speak to that, but maybe other readers want to share their opinions? 🫴
