Is it safe to travel to the Maldives?

If you ask anyone about the Maldives, I promise they will say that it’s on their bucket list.

The Maldives is not a gay friendly place to visit. In fact it is still illegal to be lesbian or
gay in the Maldives

The hundreds of islands are under Sharia Law which means that being LGBT in the
Maldives is punishable by 100 lashes and up to eight years in prison.
Can you drink Alcohol in the Maldives?
Alcohol is also banned and will be confiscated upon arrival.The resorts serve alcohol
and are more welcoming to LGBTQ+ couples.

OZEN by Atmosphere is located on the island of Maadhoo. The two halves of the resort
are connected by a wooden bridge. As you make your way over the bridge you may
spot sharks and stingrays swimming below.
On one side of the resort are the famous overwater villas dotted across the lagoon. You
could even ride a golf buggy if you’d prefer not to walk. On the other side, you’ll find a
bar overlooking the infinity pool.
As the islands are so tiny the crystal clear waters are never far away. This resort offers
a flawless combination of style and luxury. It even boasts an underwater restaurant.
