Maldives Calendar

The Maldives uses Maldives Time (UTC+5) with no daylight saving — 30 minutes behind India — although many resort islands run their own 'island time' an hour or so ahead to give guests more daylight. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend.

Most Maldivian public holidays follow the Islamic lunar calendar — including a long Ramadan break, both Eids, National Day and the Day Maldives Embraced Islam — and are announced close to the date, so only fixed-date holidays are shown here. See our Data Sources page.
