There are several important points to be kept in mind when visiting the Maldives. As it is a Muslim country it should be noted that pork, alcohol, dogs and observing non-Muslim religions in public is forbidden on the inhabited islands. However these restrictions are not enforced on the resort islands. In Maldives the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday, during which many shops, government offices and banks are closed. Again this does not affect the daily functioning of resorts.  

Discerning travellers seeking a fine Maldives resort will find an ideal option in the Anantara Veli Maldives. The Maldives bungalows provided by this fine rest are an excellent choice for the vacationer.
