The Maldives is the ultimate luxury beach
destination — overwater bungalows,
impossibly clear turquoise lagoons,
pristine white sand, and a sense of
complete paradise that makes every
moment feel extraordinary.
Here's exactly what to wear in
the Maldives.
The Maldives aesthetic
Maldives style is pure tropical luxury.
Women here wear beautiful swimwear,
elegant cover-ups, and flowing resort
dresses that complement the extraordinary
natural beauty of the destination.
The aesthetic is relaxed glamour —
effortlessly beautiful against the
backdrop of the most stunning water
in the world.
Overwater bungalow days
The overwater bungalow is the defining
Maldives experience — your own private
deck above the turquoise lagoon with
steps directly into the water.
A stunning bikini set in a classic
white or bold tropical print is
perfect for bungalow days — beautiful
enough for Instagram photos from
your private deck, practical enough
for swimming directly from your room.
A flowing kimono or chiffon cover-up
thrown over your bikini adds instant
elegance for meals at your resort
restaurant and photographs beautifully
against the turquoise water backdrop.
Beach and water activities
The Maldives offers extraordinary
water activities — snorkeling with
manta rays, dolphin watching,
submarine tours. A practical bikini
in a secure fit style that stays in
place during water activities is
essential alongside your more
glamorous resort pieces.
Resort dining
Maldives resorts offer extraordinary
dining experiences — underwater
restaurants, sandbank dinners,
overwater dining with bioluminescent
plankton in the water below. For
special resort dinners pack your
most elegant pieces — a flowing
chiffon maxi dress or a romantic
halter jumpsuit in a vibrant print
makes the perfect Maldives dinner outfit.
What to pack for the Maldives
The Maldives is a no-shoes destination
for most of your stay — you'll be
barefoot on sand or wearing simple
sandals most of the time. Focus
your packing on beautiful swimwear,
elegant cover-ups, and two or three
stunning resort dresses for evenings.
Pack light breathable fabrics in
classic colors and bold tropical
prints that photograph magnificently
against the extraordinary Maldivian
water — the clearest and most
turquoise in the world.
