Card or cash?
Plastic works well at resorts and many businesses on busy islands, but it helps to carry some cash for small cafés, local boats or places with spotty connectivity. Confirm whether a price is in USD or MVR before you pay.
ATM and exchange tips
If you withdraw MVR locally, compare the ATM's offered rate with your bank's foreign fees. For longer stays, fewer larger withdrawals usually costs less than many small ones. Always have a backup card stored separately from your wallet.
Common travel price checks
Convert snorkeling trips, diving packages, seaplane or speedboat transfers, minibar tabs, spa visits and souvenir shops as quotes arrive — keeping one tab open avoids repeated searches during your stay.
