Everything you need to know to enjoy Keyodhoo without a worry.
An electronic passport is required: for validity requirements, please check your own government's official travel advice. Children must have their own individual passport. The tourist visa is free, valid for 30 days and issued at the airport before passport control; before departure, remember to fill in the IMUGA online traveller declaration.
A constant average temperature of 30 °C thanks to the equatorial location; at night it never drops below 25–26 °C. Every month is the right month to go.
The Maldives are 5 hours ahead of GMT/UTC, with no daylight saving time: that's 4 hours ahead of Central Europe in winter and 3 in summer. Keep it in mind for transfers and calls.
T-shirts, sarongs, cotton and linen. Keyodhoo is a predominantly Muslim island: outside the guesthouse women must cover up with a kaftan or skirt, and men must wear a T-shirt. SPF 50+ sunscreen and a hat are essential. Fins and mask are a must for excursions!

Maldives country code: +960. Dhiraagu or Ooredoo SIM cards are available at Malé airport — we recommend a data SIM. Free Wi-Fi for our guests at the guesthouse and in the restaurant.

Hand-painted sarongs and T-shirts, wooden fish and handicrafts in the little local shops. On the island: two diving centres, water sports, a spa and a beauty salon. In the evening there are local and international cafés and bars — among the best are Rock'n'Reel and Hassan & Francesca's OceanBar Pizzeria. These venues accept cards, euros, rufiyaa and US dollars (notes issued after 2016).
In your room: beach towels, bath towels, minibar with water, kettle with tea and instant coffee, hairdryer on request. We're on a local island and we don't like to pollute: we change towels and bed linen twice a week — if you need fresh ones, just leave them on the bathroom floor.
The official language is Dhivehi. Our staff speak English and Italian; the general manager is fluent in Italian.
Before the 12th century the Maldives were Buddhist. The conversion to Islam is credited to the scholar Abul Barakat who, according to legend, defeated the sea demon Rannamaari by reciting the Quran. Islam has been the state religion ever since.
Keyodhoo is a fishing island, not a private resort. Out of respect for the people who welcome you to their island, it's important to dress appropriately whenever you leave the guesthouse: out of respect for their culture and for those who host us.
Swimwear is fine only at the beach — the Bikini Beach reserved for guests.
Shoulders and knees covered when walking around the island.
This also applies on the way between the guesthouse and the beach.
Comfortable and light: it's hot all year round.
Thank you for your respect and for helping to preserve the culture of the island that is hosting you.
We're on WhatsApp: we reply the same day, in English or Italian.
