Just saying “Maldives” is enough to convince us to hop on the next plane out of Dubai.

Not only is this dreamy all-year-round destination is less than a five-hour flight away, but you also don’t have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival. Earlier this month, The Maldives’ Ministry of Tourism confirmed that all you need is a negative PCR test result, taken within 72 hours of arrival. You will then receive a 30-day visa.

With tourism still relatively low in comparison to last year, this is the perfect time to take advantage of some great deals. With numerous activities, dreamy sunsets and velvety weather, how can we resits?

Note, that you can also visit more than one resort in the Maldives, just make sure to send your request to the Ministry of Tourism two days before flying out.
