Currency & Tipping

The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa (MVR), but credit cards are widely accepted across the resorts. Carrying a few small USD or MVR notes is useful for tips and local markets.

Island Time

The Maldives follow GMT+5, though many resorts run on their own “island time” – usually an hour ahead – to make the most of daylight.
