Electricity & Plugs in Malé

Practical travel guide for Malé, Maldives

Electricity & Plugs in Malé

The Maldives uses 230V, 50Hz electricity with a mix of plug types — primarily UK-style Type G (three rectangular pins), though Type D and Type A/C sockets also appear in some resorts and older buildings. A universal travel adapter is strongly recommended, as socket types can vary even within the same hotel. Power cuts are rare in Malé but more common on smaller local islands.
