HOW SAFE IS THE MALDIVES DURING COVID-19?

Maldives has never been a crowded destination; making this ‘One Island, One Resort’ nation, one of the safest in the world. All properties in the ADORE Maldives collection offers:

Enhanced Hygiene Practices; including the latest sterilisation, disinfection and cleaning technologies according to the WHO standards starting with a complimentary hygiene kit on arrival (gloves, masks, sanitiser, etc.) for all guests.

Guest Guardian: One point of contact with personalised service from In-villa breakfast to a dedicated butler, ensuring the highest level of health and safety compliance at all guest touch-points. Most islands have Risk & Hygiene Managers that follow strict HPA (Health Protection Agency of the Maldives) guidelines.

Spacious Private Pool Villas: Our collection features some of the largest villas in the Maldives, most of them with private pools. Thus, privacy and space remain protected.

Limited No. of People on each Excursion: Dolphin Cruise to Sunset Fishing and Guided Snorkelling; all excursions are limited to one family or a maximum of 04 to 06 persons, if not private.

A la Carte Dining: Buffets were never a luxury, but dining under the stars with your feet in the sand was! Order from extensive a la carte selections at your comfort, while most of the resorts remove buffet dining from their offers.

Daily and Frequent Temperature Checks: While your health and safety are of utmost importance, resorts in the Maldives keep a balanced check of all personnel directly or indirectly involved with guests.

One Island, One Team: The people you interact with in the resorts are on the island, they do not frequent the capital or the neighbouring islands. Thus, your contact with the outside world is limited to a small number of dedicated team members.

WHAT ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION TO THE ISLANDS?

On top of the above extraordinary measures the resorts are taking, Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA), the largest seaplane operator in the world has also prepared a comprehensive video to show you how seriously we take your health and safety.
