Meals, and especially drinks, are sooo expensive (as for me) a glass of juice from a package is $ 5, even plain water without gas is $ 7 a bottle. Meals only in restaurants, with inflated prices. In total, $ 100 a day can not fit. Hotels are mostly just islands, you won’t be able to run to the store. If the hotel is an island in a village with locals (can't remember the name). You can buy tea and biscuits in the shops there. There is no poverty and normal food (for us). Alcohol and food, even in luggage, are strictly prohibited (confiscated) Have a good rest.

Where exactly are you going? What hotel, island? If this is an island for the locals, then not everything is so sad. There are also shops there. We were in the Maldives 2 times, no one confiscated the products, we carried a lot of everything with us.

Plus, it all depends on the type of holiday you are planning.
If you travel to different islands, then lunch is usually included in the price. In the Maafushi Island area, the average cost of a transfer to the resort island was about $ 80 if I'm not mistaken per person round trip.
In Maafushi in 2013, we paid $7 per person for seafood dinners.

As far as I know, due to the pandemic, there are no excursions to the resort islands now. So there is no point in going to Maafushi. Best - Thoddoo

Formally, only alcohol is forbidden from food.
and pork (sausage too). At the same time, divers on safari always carry alcohol, look on the Internet
to what perversions come. I myself carried Baileys in a 400g shampoo bottle.)))
I read how people brought a suitcase of water and juice to the resort. You can always say about water
that you have a rare disease and local water is not shown to you)))
It is difficult to eat outside resorts in the Maldives, and it is very expensive in hotels.
But if time permits, then in Male there is a good fruit market, not far from the pier, where
boats arrive from the airport and many shops.

If you are not flying to a resort island, then the most interesting and largest island of Dhigurah is South Ari Atoll. Since now there are no tours of the resorts, on this island you can see a lot of interesting things, including whale sharks. The beach there is one of the best, as well as a beautiful spit that goes into the ocean. The supplement for lunch without drinks was $ 40 per person. Water is really very expensive, cocktails too. It is impossible not to drink there. There you always want to drink, since it is the equator, the humidity is up to 98%, you constantly walk around wet and hot. A lot of water is gone. Free drinks (natural fresh juices from exotic fruits) - only for breakfast. 2 bottles per person are brought to the room. And the bottles there are 600 ml each. :)) This does not save. There really is nothing edible in the stores for us. I don’t even want to buy what they sell, it’s so dirty there. The Maldivians generally do not care about dirt and garbage at all. They say that he does not bother them :))

The market in Male is completely unsanitary, even in the most expensive restaurants there is a problem with cleanliness, it takes a long time to wait for an order and the price is rather big. It's all about local islands. A completely different picture on the resort islands. It truly is Paradise in every sense. A room-boy will be assigned to your villa, which will fulfill all your desires 24/7, + a bunch of inconspicuous servants who keep the area around the villa in perfect cleanliness. The best option, of course, is to pay for the HB (breakfast-dinner) package and ask for an upgrade to FB (full board). Many hotels hold such promotions or, at the request of a travel agent, agree to an upgrade. I really love the Maldives for their loyalty to tourists, the main thing is to "knock out" all the pluses for yourself before departure and be friendly to the staff. Then there will always be water and wine, as a compliment from the hotel.

If you fly to Thoddoo, then you will definitely eat enough fruit. Fruits are grown there for the entire Maldives Republic. And the beaches are amazing! As for carrying food and drinks in my luggage, I personally did not risk it, since on my first visit I witnessed a not very pleasant picture at the airport. In addition to nuts, she never carried anything else, so as not to try out the Maldivian legal system on herself. :)))) If possible, book yourself an excursion to a desert island for a couple of days. It's really fantastic!!! Have a nice rest!

Even if they find alcohol in the luggage, nothing will happen.
Previously, it was left for storage, and returned on the way back.
Now they just confiscate. Well, if you do not carry industrial parties, of course.)))
And paradise on the islands of resorts, and even with an attached butler, costs so much,
that those who can afford such a vacation are not interested in the cost of lunches and dinners
in restaurants.

Kasja23, I do not quite agree. Now prices for resort islands have fallen a lot due to the pandemic. They carry out numerous promotions, such as pay for a villa on the beach, and we will provide you with a villa on the water for free, which is 3-4 times more expensive. Nutrition upgrade and previously practiced. The cost of the tour can be significantly reduced by linking directly with a travel agency in Male. They speak and write excellent Russian, negotiate with the general manager of the resort island about all your "I want", up to the brand of wine that will be prepared for you for the entire stay, organize the entire transfer and, which is very convenient, a representative from the island - resort, which will meet you at the airport.
