Alcohol on the island of Thoddoo: buy, get
Many tourists are concerned about the availability of alcohol on the island of Thoddoo for tourists. It can be said directly – you will not be able to buy alcoholic products on the island in a store and in any of the restaurants. In the Maldives, the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited at the legislative level. Therefore, you can only be content with those alcoholic drinks. that you have brought with you. Nobody will search and throw away your alcohol. At the expense of drinking it outside your room – a separate question.
Are there any workarounds?
Of course, a tourist place would not be touristic if the issue with the sale of alcoholic beverages had not been resolved here. As in many similar states, the issue was resolved at the expense of a floating bar – you can’t sell and drink on land, but you can in the open ocean.
A classic example of an offer for tourists:
- a yacht bar (what the name alone is worth) that will take you directly from the island;
- working hours from 16:00 to 01:00 (you can take a good walk);
- admission is only $ 5 (it includes a water disco and musical accompaniment of the party – all alcoholic drinks are purchased separately);
- the ability to buy and drink alcohol without restrictions (well, you pay $ 5 for this);
- will be picked up and brought back to the island for free.
The Relax Residence guest house will also be able to offer you to go on this “excursion”. Therefore, if alcohol is an obligatory “companion” of your holiday, then there will be no problems with this. Even within the framework of the ban throughout the state, tourists have the opportunity not to deny themselves anything.
