Maldives Spa Ban
News surfaced over the past few days that the Maldives Government has announced it wants to close spas on the island. This decision clearly has an impact on all the luxury Maldive Hotels on the islands. The Maldives is a predominantly Muslim country and we understand that that there have been, unfounded, allegations made by the opposition party that the spa's are a front for prostitution - claims refuted by the tourism industry. However we understand that the ban is not being enforced in the main tourist hotels so travelers should not experience any disruption to their holiday. The message we are receiving from our friends and contacts in The Maldives is that its BAU - Business As Usual. We'll update our blog further when we hear more but the row is expected to subside.
