The List: What to Pack for Maldives

1. The Maui Babe Browning Lotion

This is literally going to be your tanning buddy for your whole trip. Although being in the Maldives all together will give you one of the worlds best tans, having Maui Babe by your side will intensify it 10 fold. This super tanning lotion comes from the tropical Hawaii using all natural Hawaiin ingredients – the formula is actually a secret family recipe. Its ingredients include: light mineral oil, kukui nut oil, antioxidant Vitamins A, C & E, Kona Coffee Plant Extract, Aloe and Potassium lodide. 

2. A Piece of Mochi

Think kaftans, summer dresses, pompoms, and bright earrings – a piece of Mochi is a must for your Maldives getaway. All Things Mochi is one of our absolute favorite local brands based here in Dubai by the gorgeous babe herself Ayah Tabari. Each collection is inspired by different cultures and communities, with a specific look at their traditional embroidery. Her collections do not shy away from color – to say the least. These light fabrics, bright punchy colors and overall playful designs are absolutely perfect for a beach holiday.

3. Go Pro Underwater

No trip to the Maldives is complete without a snorkeling excursion. Being immersed into the Indian Ocean and discovering the beautiful sea creatures is an absolute must when you are on your holiday. The islands boast an impressive 1,000 coral reefs! Of course it is absolutely essential to record all of these amazing discoveries with none other than a GoPro. Make sure to get yourself a Go Pro before you leave on your trip, the underwater videos will not only serve as amazing memories – but will also make the most amazing insta vids that you can share with friends.

4. Your Corkcicle Canteen Bottle

One thing we need to keep in check while enjoying the rays? Hydration! Stay hydrated during your beach holiday by making sure your drinking at least 3L of water per day. We totally recommend you go ahead and get yourself one of these bad boys. The Corkcicle Canteen bottles keep your water ice cold for 24 hours, even under extreme heat in the sun. So while your tanning, you can enjoy some delicious ice water that won’t melt. These bottles come in different colors and sizes – from 9oz, 16oz, 25oz and 60oz.

5. A Koala Towel

Now we know that all of the swanky resorts in the Maldives will have exceptional service, especially at the beach or by the pool as you lay out to get that golden brown tan – and along with the service comes some super LUXE towels. However – how cool would it be to stand out from the crowd with your own super trendy Turkish towel? Homegrown brand, Koala design hand loomed towels made from cotton and bamboo and are 70% lighter than any normal towel (so can be super easy to fit into your case). These towels are available at Kite Beach at a super cute kiosk.

6. PomPom Bag

Imagine yourself taking a trip down to the beach, setting out your towel, putting on your Maui Babe lotion and taking a swig of water before laying down – this trip wouldn’t be complete without having the perfect beach bag to house all of our holiday goodies. We absolutely love the super stylish straw bags, and found this cool brand from Ecuador called Sensi Studio that has the cutest collection available at Revolve that delivers to our end of the woods! The price tag is also super friendly (and some are even on sale now if you hurry!)

7. A Waterproof Speaker

No trip to the Maldives would be complete without the perfect playlist – and of course you will need something to play your music. One of the best bluetooth speakers out there on the market at the moment has to be the JBL Flip 4. This speaker has 12 hours of playtime with a rechargeable Li-ion battery and has surprisingly powerful volume + sound for such a small speaker. The best part? This speaker if IPX7 waterproof! It is completely splash proof so if your hanging out by the pool, you can bring the speaker with you without having to worry about it getting wet.

8.  Keepin it Shady

Having shades with you on your trip is probably the most obvious of must haves to pack. Since your on holiday we recommend to take a few pairs with you in different style to go with different looks while you are there – it’s your chance to have fun with your beauty wardrobe! We are super obsessed with Australian sunglasses brand Quay – they have a lot of really cool style with a very friendly price tag. These shades are available in Topshop across the region, if your more into online shopping you can also cop these from www.namshi.com.
