What attire is appropriate?

  For work : Uniforms are provided in the form of a sarong and top.

Footwear : Leave your shoes behind; almost all public spaces, including the restaurants, have sand-covered floors. Management staff go barefoot (though sandals or other light shoes would also be appropriate), and all other staff are provided footwear for work by the hotel.

For leisure : While off duty and in guest areas, staff should dress appropriately and follow the guest dress code, including covering up when in the restaurants. Shorts, sarongs, and/or summer dresses made of lightweight cotton or other cool fabrics work well. If you wish to participate in sports at the marina, bring clothing appropriate for the activity: bathing suit, sneakers/trainers, t-shirts, etc. In addition, a light raincoat or jacket is good idea for the rainy and windy days during the southwest monsoon season.

For Malé, shoes or sandals are needed, and casual clothing is appropriate. Although a Muslim country, it is not necessary for expat women to cover up totally. T-shirts and reasonably modest tops are fine.

Evening wear : Suits, formal evening wear, and high heels are too dressy. Evening wear should be smart casual: long trousers, dress shirts, skirts, dress shorts (not surf type shorts), dresses, etc.
