Are you planning to go on a trip to the Maldives this summer? If you’re wondering what you need to pack on this trip, we’ve got you covered.

We all know that a Maldives trip calls for lots of reef-safe sunblocks, cute bikinis and the sun-dresses you’ve been dying to try on. But there is one more thing you might want to pack, and that’s a travel adapter. Although we all love our iPhones and cameras, somehow one thing we tend to forget is to check the type of charging port in the country we travel to. This summer, make sure you don’t have to worry about this problem on arrival at your Maldives resort. This is your guide on what to pack – tech edition!

While you can check what kind of plug is used in the country you’re travelling to, one of the best ways to resolve this issue is to get a universal power plug adapter. This way, no matter where you go, you can charge everything hassle-free. Although a universal plug adapter is a bit pricier, this is something you will continue to use time and time again. With this adapter, you will have multiple USB ports on top of every type of plug-in. This means on top of not having to worry, you can also charge multiple things at once.

The multi-charging hack will come in handy if you’re on an adventurous trip. This means that you can charge everything at once, and not have to worry about devices running out of charge throughout the day. If you’re curious, the Maldives most commonly has types D and G power sockets.

Packing a Little Something Extra

If you’re tech-savvy or you carry around your diffuser or hair-iron you can go the extra mile here. One of the main issues a traveller might face is the power outlet being located further from the bed or table. To solve this problem, you can always bring long charging cables. For the girls who want to do their hair or charge high-voltage, you can also bring along a travel voltage converter. Although this is not fully necessary, it’s a little tip that goes a long way for some travellers.
