Is it safe to travel to the Maldives?

The Maldives are extremely safe. If you are concerned about crime and terrorism when planning your holiday, you can exhale a sigh of relief by visiting the Maldives. Petty and violent crimes, as well as any notable cases of terrorism, are either rare or non-existent. In truth, the major dangers you will confront are natural: powerful currents along the beaches, which have resulted in drowning (after all, the Indian Ocean is one of the fiercest on the planet). Of course, you should take typical precautions with your personal goods, such as using the hotel safe.

The majority of visitors to the Maldives stay in "resort hotels," where crime rates are low. Petty crime, such as the theft of items left unattended on the beach or in hotel rooms, does occur. Take particular care of your valuables and other personal belongings when visiting Male'. On island resorts, use safe deposit boxes.
