Are there any places in the Maldives in which we can legally camp?



Best Answer

Yes. Although the government loves tourists who spend money, and most of the land is either owned by the government or people, you can go to Hulehule island and camp all you want.

Answer 2

You must provide a proof of accommodation/reservation to immigration upon arrival in the Maldives. If you do not have they might forbid you to enter the country.

The resorts will not allow you allow you to enter their island without having a room booked.

The local islands (where locals live ) might allow you to plant your tent but you will first need the authorization from the island chief.
