Maafushi Maldives Travel Guide
Maafushi's tropical climate calls for lightweight, breathable clothing. Plan your wardrobe for comfort in warm temperatures and high humidity, while also respecting local customs.
Maafushi is a local island with a conservative Muslim population. Modest dress is a guideline when walking around the village, visiting shops, or eating at local restaurants.
Sandals, flip-flops, or casual open-toed shoes suffice for walking around the island.
Water Shoes are recommended for protection from sharp coral or sea urchins.
