Whilst we were there on an all-inclusive holiday there was a cocktail happy hour from 6-7pm the drawback was it was not included with the AI option however the cocktails wern't over priced as you got 2 for 1 during happy hour.

The only night-life you will encounter is the ancient redifusion telly high up in a corner of the hotel bar/restaurant. offering on a good day the olde world news. The local inhabitants come across from nearby island to entertain you with local music. No disco's or loud music. Only mother nature to amuse and befriend you. Beware when out walking in the moonlight of falling coconuts. Have 2 weeks, the fierst getting acclimatised and used to walking bearfeet, the second to visit more lively islands and deserted ones too. Walking around is quite crowded so be discreet if you feel aroused by all the natural surroundings and don't be alarmed if you are caught in the act of love by someother guest having a stroll. Just smile and say aloa

Dress Code: Being a muslim country means you have to clothed, but not fully. Nude bathing is strictly forbidden. A pair of flipflops and shorts and a wide brimmed hat is all you need along with plenty of sunscreen.

Once a week is organized a live show of local folklore.
Local people dance and sing their traditionl songs.
There is a traditional Bodu-Beru "concert" - Bodu-Beru means "big drum" and they play it with enthusiasm!

Dress Code: In such occasion even the resort's guests wear the traditional pareo - both men and women! Very nice to see - hihihi!

Once in our holidays I wanted to have a special evening, so I reserved a romantic dinner at the beach especially for the two of us.
It is easily done, just ask at the reception or your waiter and tell them when you want to have it (at least 24 hours before).

I had the possibilty to choose from three versions:
- The cheapest one would be a selection from the evening buffet that is served to you.
- Second possibility is the lobster dinner, where you have the cook for yourself preparing you the lobster on a grill on the beach.
- Third possibility is also with lobster, but a different menue, slightly less pricey.

They prepare you a table right at the beach complete with flowers, candles and torches, which looks sooo good.

It was a great experience, eating under the sky with so many stars you never see at home.

Dress Code: From casual to as serious as you want.

Yes, the Maldives are a muslimic country and as such they do not drink alcohol - nor are you allowed to bring alcohol with you, when you enter. If you do and they catch you, they will at least take it away from you (I saw that happen).

On the island itself that is not a theme. You can drink as much alcohol as you like - from the cocktails they offer.
But alcohol is quite pricey here.

Good that they have happy hours where you can get 2 of the cocktails of the day to the price of one.
Good also that, while you sip at it, you can sit at the pool and the beach and watch the sunset.

What I did not find so good was that they did not offer a non-alcoholic cocktail version of the day, for people like me (yes, I do drink alcohol, but not when I am pregnant). So my dear hubby "had" to drink both ...

Dress Code: Casual,
if you are in the bar you have to wear trousers and shirt, not only bath gear.

There is no nightlife to speak of, just wonderful sipping cocktails and watching the stars appear in the navy blue sky.

Just being with your loved one should be enough. If it's not, go to a much bigger island!

Dress Code: Very relaxed - as long as you are not wearing your swimwear. Just shorts and a strappy vest or t-shirt for fellas is enough. Don't even need shoes.

There's no "party nightlife" in the Maldives, outside the water you can only find silence and tranquility ;-) ... so if you dont do night diving, just relax, take a walk on the beach and look at the sunset colouring the water with unforgettable colours, drink a nice cocktail, enjoy the magnifiscient view of the moon and the stars in the Maldivian sky ...

A litte tip : If you go to the beach at night, without making noise, you can see tons of crabs on the sand, it's so funny !. ;-)

Veligandu island has one bar, which is linked to the restaurant.

It has the obligatory maldives sand floor and appears to serve most drinks you could need.

Each night a different activity is arranged, dive video, movie, crab racing, disco etc
