How's life as an expat in maldives?

Hi chiquitanna,

Welcome to https://www.expat.com.

Do you have any particular experience when it comes to working on resort islands?

In the meantime, I'd request you to create your resume in the Jobs in Maldives section to increase your chances of getting in touch with potential recruiters.

Thanks. it's my first time to work in a resort island.  Anyways, does anyone here knows or working at Roxy Maldives?

Life here is pretty laidback. You have to adjust if you are a city person. All commodities are very expensive and you need to live on a budget. Finding a accommodation here is expensive as well.

I live fulltime in Male for over 6 years but have also worked on 2 islands. Life for me is very normal but it took a few years to get used to the lack of nightlife and entertainment. Resort living became old very fast as your coming and going is restricted. There are no shopping centers or restaurants etc. Its just you and other staff members 24/7. You can make lots of great friends but it will take some patience to adjust.
