Wandr Safety Rating:

A (Low Risk)

90/100

The Maldives is generally safe for travelers, especially in resort areas where healthcare is available. However, medical facilities on remote islands are limited, and serious cases may require evacuation to Malé or abroad. The CDC typically recommends routine vaccinations, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Travelers should take precautions with sun exposure, hydration, and seafood consumption. Mosquito protection is advised, particularly during the rainy season.
