Paradise Island
The aptly-named Paradise Resort is located on North Malé Atoll,
less than six miles (10km) from the airport. The resort, referred
to locally as Lankanfinolhu, is very small, as the entire island is
only 3,200 feet (1km) long and 750 feet (230m) wide. The resort
uses the space well though, and offers activities like squash and
volleyball, and watersports and scuba diving in the crystal-clear
waters. Paradise Island also has a spa and three restaurants
serving Japanese, Italian, and Western cuisine, and a 24-hour bar
with a disco.
Information & Facts
Language
Dhivehi is the national language in Maldives. English is
widely spoken in addition to German, French, Italian and Japanese,
spoken by the resort staff.
Money
The Maldivian Rufiya (MVR) is divided into 100 laari. The
resorts in Maldives are generally expensive and travellers should
ensure they bring sufficient funds. There are no cash machines and
travellers' cheques are rarely used, but there are currency
exchange facilities available at resorts and banks. Major credit
cards are accepted at most resorts and hotels. US Dollars can be
exchanged at the airport, banks or hotels. Guests staying at
resorts can settle their accounts in hard foreign currency (US
Dollars are best), credit cards or travellers cheques. Banks are
usually closed on Fridays and Saturdays.
