You are about to embark on your much awaited vacation to the Maldives, but wondering if you need to pack a separate luggage with all your favorite gadgets, like your blackberry, iPod, laptop, cameras and other electronic gadgets that you don't want to part with? And also wondering if the electric current voltage would work with your appliances in the Maldives? The Maldives mostly uses the British 3-pin system with 110 or 220 volts, depending where you stay. If you do bring along your equipment, we do recommend to-use a power adapter to avoid any damages to your equipment. Power-converters are readily available in electronic shops and most airport duty free venues.

It is a given that most of the Maldivian resorts are equipped with comfort and basic appliances such as hair dryers, iron, DVD players and such basic electronic appliances. Ultra-chic resorts like the W Retreat & Spa – Maldives understands that today’s hi-tech travelers’ need for swanky gadgets and hence offers iMacs at W Lounge and iPods loaded with your favorite playlists while resorts like the Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa offers 2 iPods per villa with iPod docking systems and Four Seasons Resorts Maldives offers Wii consoles; keeping you well-equipped and entertained even during your holiday. Plus consider it one less item to slip into your luggage!
