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.
Most travellers spend their days on resort islands using resort WiFi, so a 3 to 5 GB plan over a week is usually enough for maps, messaging and social media when you are off WiFi.
Many resorts include WiFi in the villa, so your eSIM is mostly useful for connectivity during transfers and day trips rather than heavy daily browsing.

It depends on the resort's location, since both Dhiraagu and Ooredoo cover most resort islands but signal varies by atoll. Resorts almost always provide WiFi, so the eSIM is best as a backup and for transfers.
Coverage is patchy over open water and weakest between distant atolls, so expect to lose data for parts of longer transfers. Download maps and any travel documents before you leave Malé.
