Destination Guide

The Maldives offers resort-based opportunities in hospitality, security, housekeeping, food and beverage, diving, watersports, engineering, finance and guest services. Resort islands provide a structured lifestyle, while Malé and larger local islands offer a more urban, community-focused experience. Local culture is predominantly Muslim, so modest dress and respect for prayer times, customs and alcohol restrictions outside resorts are important. Life on a resort island is scenic but secluded; employees should expect shared accommodation, limited shopping and travel mainly by speedboat or seaplane. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored employment approval and work visa, with medical checks and document verification arranged through the employer. Before accepting an offer, confirm salary, service charge, leave, flights, accommodation, meals and insurance in writing. Relocation usually involves arrival in Malé followed by transfer to the assigned island.
