Overseas Travel Insurance:

For the elderly over 65 years old, the claim amount of many insurance companies will be reduced to 1/3 of the sum insured, please check before traveling. This time, the grandmothers purchased Ping An's "Ping An Overseas Protection Plan", the premium fluctuated, and the claim amount was full.
*66-75 years old: 1.5 times premium; 76-85 years old: 2 times the premium.

02 | language
English is the lingua franca of the Maldives.
If you don't know English, don't worry, the hotel has a fixed process from airport pick-up to check-in, and basically rarely needs to use English for communication. If you are really unsure about English, you can download the mobile translation app for language conversion to achieve barrier-free communication. Recommend two free instant translation software to achieve the effect of simultaneous interpretation:
Dial "0" in the room phone to be the front desk, you can reserve experience projects and call battery car transfers, English communication is required. The English for battery car hailing is "I want a buggy" [Chinese pronounced as: dwarf king special 800 million], and this phrase will be used more often in daily life for room types far from the restaurant.
Beach Drink· Kakuni Hut Beach Bar
03 | clothing
The temperature in the Maldives is stable throughout the year, with an average temperature of 25°C ~ 30°C, and the climate is pleasant.
Bring a thin summer shirt and a thin long-sleeved cardigan. The Maldivian is hot during the day, but it's cool after the sun goes down, and the evening breeze blows comfortably and pleasantly. After dinner, you can bring a small light jacket for a walk around the island.
A few more points are worth noting:
Bring a long-sleeved sun-protected swimsuit that protects the neck and back, and does not expose large areas of skin, otherwise it is easy to sunburn.
Bring a high-power sunscreen, generally SPF50+, and also do a sunscreen reapply outside to prevent sunburn.
Those who want to experience snorkeling will need to prepare snorkeling equipment, including snorkels, masks, diving beach shoes, etc., which can also be rented at the island's water sports center.
The snorkel needs to be in the mouth, so that you can bring your own hygiene more. At sporting goods stores such as Decathlon, you can buy them all in one place.

The grandmas experienced three meals a day, but everyone agreed that choosing an all-inclusive two meals a day was enough!
Wake up and go for a swim or do some morning cardio on the island and take a shower.
Breakfast at 10:00~10:30, dinner in the evening.
Friends who are not afraid of long meat can choose three meals a day [snicker]
05 | live
There are two main types of housing on the island: sand houses and water houses
Room types will be checked in according to the pre-booked package, but the hotel will adjust the room according to availability.

To sum up, the beach bungalow is close to the beach, which is convenient for swimming in the sea at any time, and the price is cheaper than the water bungalow;
The water bungalow is a Maldivian characteristic room type, the price is expensive, but you can directly go down from the room to the sea to snorkel, anytime and anywhere with a variety of marine life, charm, but the disadvantage is that the wind and waves are not suitable for the sea, friends who do not sleep well may be affected by the sound of the waves after night, families with children are not recommended to choose the water bungalow, children are more likely to have water safety problems than adults.
The Water Bungalow can snorkel directly from the ladder of the room, which is tempting for those who are inland in the sea, but here are safety tips:
1. The water bungalow will provide life jackets for each guest, please wear them before going to the sea;
2. Do not go into the sea alone;
3. Please go to the sea when the wind and waves are calm, if the wind and waves are large, please do not go into the sea;
4. Please wear beach shoes, otherwise you will be pricked by coral or sea urchin.
06 | play
Full Moon Island has many things to do and reservations are available for an additional fee. Here are a few recommended items that grandmas find interesting, not very exciting, and suitable for friends of all ages to experience:
· Dolphin Parade:
Watch dolphins leap over the sparkling sea at sunset, experience the natural fun of interacting with wild dolphins, ride the wind and waves, explore, chase...
· ️Spa SPA:
Upon arrival at the front desk, the staff will first serve you a wet towel and flower and fruit tea (cool), fill in a simple health information (in English), and then your masseur will take you through the alley to the warm and quiet massage room, according to the body part and strength of your choice. Professional and considerate service, you can sweep away the fatigue of the oncoming plane here.

️· Go snorkeling:
You need to make an appointment at the water sports center one day in advance, and there will be a simple snorkeling safety precautions explanation before boarding the boat the next day, and everyone will be equipped with a life jacket, swimming goggles, snorkel, and fins before departure.
Safety Tip: When snorkeling, please follow the instructions of the dive guide and avoid swimming into shallow waters where the coral is dense, as you will step on the coral and scratch yourself.
Sharks can be seen underwater
Wild rays underwater
· Beach picnic:
· Floating breakfast:
PS: The above island activities are charged separately and booked in advance, and are not included in the package.
07 | Shopping
Island Shops:
The only place to shop on the island is the gift shop in the lobby restaurant function area, where you can buy a variety of Maldivian clothing, ornaments and souvenirs. If you forget to bring a swimsuit, beach slippers, snorkeling shoes, etc., you can also buy them in-store, the price is 5-10 times more expensive than in China.
Duty-free shops:
Duty-free shops are available at both domestic and Maldives airports
· Because we are departing from Beijing, if there are also friends departing from Daxing Airport, we do not recommend the duty-free shops at Daxing Airport, the variety of goods is not complete, and the direct flight back to China is in the early morning, and the store is not yet open.
· For those who have a demand for duty-free goods, we recommend duty-free shops at Maldives airports, where beauty and skin care products and tobacco and alcohol can be bought.
Payment method: Credit card payment
It is recommended to bring a credit card with UnionPay, VISA or Master logos, and all purchases on the island and in duty-free shops can be paid by card.
08 | Return to your home country ✈
To enter China, you need to fill in the Health Declaration online and do not exceed 24 hours. This can be proposed to the hotel when checking out before departure from the hotel, and the hotel will provide a QR code to fill in the health declaration.
