What to pack for the Maldives in the summer

In the Maldives during the summer, lightweight and breathable clothing is essential due to the hot and humid weather.

Opt for loose-fitting tops and shorts made from natural fabrics like cotton or linen to stay cool and comfortable. Light-colored clothing can also help reflect the sun's rays and keep you feeling less overheated.

Swimsuits are a must for enjoying the numerous pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Maldives. Additionally, pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun.

Don't forget to bring a light sweater or shawl for cooler evenings, especially if you plan on going on sunset cruises or dining by the beach.
