Is it possible to bring alcohol to the Maldives (Muslims do not drink)?
I read in the magazine of one of the tour operators that alcohol is requested there - in general, or maybe you can drink it on the territory of the hotel, or there is purely rest for "health groups"

From the official information -
"The Maldives has a strict ban on the import of any alcoholic beverages, drugs, firearms, pornographic materials, anti-Islamic literature, pork, professional video equipment (importation is possible only with special permission), spearfishing equipment, and animals. free luggage storage.The issued receipt is kept until departure, after check-in, everything seized can be returned."
On the territory of the hotel you can - but very expensive. The order of the prices is $100 for a bottle of whiskey.

The import of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited. Moreover, all this is strictly checked at the airport upon arrival. I saw how a man was asked to get and show even a bottle of Coca-Cola from the luggage (suitcase). So it's better not to experiment. And alcohol in the Maldives is quite expensive. A glass of cocktail costs from $ 18, whiskey $ 100-150, we had a Lobby bar in the hotel, discounts on alcohol from 18-19 pm, but they were not significant

In Male, I saw how divers (Slavs) wanted to spend cognac in a shampoo bottle. Still found out. Everything that is bought in duty free is also taken away, but given back on the way back.
Our tourists bought a bottle of vodka at the hotel for $600. USA.

Hello! I wanted to join this topic .... they say that our people manage to smuggle alcohol as soon as they are not perverted .... they pump it with a syringe .. into a plastic bottle with juice ... but isn’t it possible? the hole is small, in theory, it won’t leak!? ... Well, of course, if they break the seal, open the juice and measure the degree, then excuse me !!!!

The most important plus in this problem is that they will not fine you (experiments are not prohibited).
I brought alcohol (medical), vodka in "Bonaqua", cognac in "cola". the others were all taken to the storage room and EVERYTHING was given away upon departure. Look in this thread - there was already such a question.
