The Maldives is one of the most ideal halal holiday destination in the world. With the Maldivian population being mainly Muslim, you’re never far away from Muslim-friendly amenities and services. The archipelago consists of 1190 islands scattered in the Indian Ocean. These beautiful, tropical islands are mostly for tourism with about 185 of them inhabited by the locals. Blessed with fine, white sandy beaches, turquoise-clear waters, and extraordinary marine life, the Maldives is the ultimate island destination.

One great aspect of the Maldives is that whether you’re travelling on a budget or 5-star, you can still experience the best beaches in the world.

Maldives local island experiences

If you’re not looking to lounge by the pool everyday and are looking for some culture, then the local Maldivian islands are the way to go. Male, the Maldivian capital, offers a great way to immerse yourself with the locals and to soak up their culture. Experience a vibrant, tiny island city with alcohol-free restaurants & cafes. Hear the sounds of the call to prayer with mosques on every corner. Although Male may not look like how the Maldives is portrayed, it offers a real chance to experience the heart of the country.

Maldives halal honeymoons

Undoubtedly, the Maldives is one of the best Muslim honeymoon destinations. It is an ultimate honeymoon destination for Muslim newlyweds looking for a romantic getaway. After months of wedding planning, unwind on your private pool deck, drink exotic mocktails and enjoy secluded candlelit dinners. If you would like to do more than soak up the sun, there are a variety of options and personalised experiences for two.
