In the Maldives, same-sex marriage is not recognized and homosexuality is banned. While this may be the case for locals, visitors staying in officially designated tourist areas are usually excluded.

There are specific tourist spots that are really welcoming to homosexual couples, so you may relax as a couple. Be courteous and avoid expressing any signs of affection when you arrive in the Maldives, travel to your resort, and when you are out among locals. Rest assured, you won’t be obligated to refrain from physical contact once you return to your luxurious bungalow!

The Maldives are the perfect complement to South Africa, Botswana, and Victoria Falls, much like a good bottle of wine. Tanzania and Kenya are also fairly accessible, so you can have a real safari experience in East Africa.

The Maldives are the perfect place for those who are born and raised in the water. The warm, blue Indian Ocean begs you to dive in and discover everything it has to offer. Yacht trips and endless days spent on powdery beaches are options for those who would rather remain dry. The throwing of parties was already mentioned, wasn’t it? Lots of places to let loose await you in your tourist hotspots. Visit the capital city of Malé to learn about local culture, but remember to keep your public shows of affection to a minimum.

One must stay in one of the renowned floating bungalows while visiting The Maldives! Imagine having an entire island to yourself, complete with every convenience imaginable. A yacht is another option for those who would rather sleep on the move. If you’d rather not go too far from the path of least resistance, there are plenty of five-star hotels and guesthouses to pick from.
