Language

Essential Information For Maldives

Dhivehi is the official language spoken in all parts of Maldives. English is widely spoken by Maldivians and visitors can easily make themselves understood. In the resorts, the staff is multinational and multilingual so there are no issues with language.

“Our experience with Tikalanka was exceptional from start to finish. John worked closely with us to build a 15-day itinerary and was consistently responsive throughout the planning process. I had approached several agencies, but Tikalanka was the first to reply, took the time to understand our requirements, and delivered a competitively priced proposal that met all our needs. Once we arrived in Sri Lanka, Pathi, John’s partner on the ground, was equally supportive. Hotels were booked and adjustments were made without any fuss, excursions were well organised, and the chauffeur guides were excellent. We happened to be in the country when Cyclone Ditwah hit, and this is when their professionalism truly stood out. Minor itinerary changes were handled seamlessly, and they remained in regular contact to check on our welfare. Despite the wider crisis, we always felt like a priority. Overall, the service was seamless, professional, and highly reliable. We would not hesitate to recommend Tikalanka.”
