If you’re travelling to the Maldives as a vegan, it’s essential to do your research beforehand to ensure that there are vegan options available. While most resorts and international restaurants have vegan options, smaller local eateries may not. So, try to carry some vegan snacks with you when you’re out and about. Also, be sure to inform the resort or restaurant in advance about your dietary requirements, so they can prepare accordingly.
