Destination Guide

The Maldives offers employment opportunities mainly in resorts, hotels, restaurants, diving, watersports, housekeeping, engineering and guest services. Resort life is usually based on a private island, with accommodation, meals, uniforms and transport commonly provided by the employer. The culture is welcoming and community-oriented, with Islam strongly influencing local customs; modest dress and respectful behavior are important, especially on inhabited islands. Lifestyle on a resort island is peaceful but remote, with limited shopping and entertainment compared with major cities. Foreign workers generally need an approved employment entry visa and a work permit arranged by the employer before or after arrival, depending on current regulations. Candidates should confirm contract terms, salary, service charge, medical checks, flights, accommodation and leave entitlements before relocating. Malé is the main transport and administrative hub.
