Coverage and networks

The Maldives has solid mobile coverage from its two operators, Dhiraagu and Ooredoo, both of which run 4G/LTE across the inhabited islands and most resort islands, with 5G available in and around Malé and on some popular resorts. Coverage on the water between islands and in very remote atolls can drop, so expect gaps during seaplane and speedboat transfers. Resort islands rely entirely on operator network reach, so check that your chosen resort sits within good signal rather than expecting independent connectivity. Networks: Dhiraagu, Ooredoo.
