    Islam is the official religion of Maldives and open practice of any other religion is forbidden. The 2008 constitution says that the republic "is based on the principles of Islam" and that "no law contrary to any principle of Islam can be applied". Non-Muslims are prohibited from becoming citizens.

    You forgot the most important thing. There is absolutely nothing to do besides swimming or fishing in the Maldives. Not the place to go to if you want to enjoy different restaurants etc during the evenings. Unless you stay in Male or Hulhumale… But.. no ones wants to stay there for more than one night. Also remember that it is a muslim country, so forget the alcohol, unless you are staying at an expensive resort.

    The Maldives was an island country even before 1965. It was ruled by a Sultan who, and his ancestors, had been absolute monarchs until 1932 when an elected parliament and a council of ministers were empowered to advise the Sultan. In the early 1960s, there was a British diplomatic representative in Male named Humphrey Arthington-Davy. Old Humphrey was born, raised and lived much of his life in British India. He thought the Maldives was just another princely state such as Kashmir or Hyderabad, complete with chai-walas, poonkah-walas, dhobi-walas and rickshaw-walas. So, he behaved as though he was a colonial governor of British India or of British Ceylon. That did not sit well with his hosts who made Arthington-Davy's life very difficult for him. Eventually his superiors in London had to recall him. The British thought they were magnanimously, granting independence to the Maldives in 1965 and proposed to hold a flag ceremony to mark that independence, with Queen Elizabeth's cousin, Princess Alexandra in attendance. The Sultan's government promptly advised the British that the Maldives flag had always been raised at 6am daily and lowered at 6pm. Princess Alexandra never showed up. Nevertheless, the signing of an independence agreement was proposed by the Brits, but the Maldives authorities were reluctant to go along with the idea of a "ceremony", especially in the Maldives. Quite unexpectedly the Maldives Prime Minister of the time, showed up in Colombo, in what was then the British Dominion of Ceylon, and advised the British High Commissioner there that he had been authorised by the Sultan to sign the agreement, as long as it was signed without pomp or ceremony. The British agreed. So without pomp or pageantry, and in a backroom of the British High Commission in Colombo, the agreement was signed.

    I'm a solo traveller everywhere. The reasons are exactly what you said: I love avoiding crowds, and love swimming. Solo travelling also have as advantages. More chance to interact with the locals and get to know the local life.
