Currency: The currency of India is the Maldivian rufiyaa (Rf) BUT US$ is the commercial currency in hotels and resorts.
Plugs: Electricity supply is 220V to 240V, 50Hz AC. The standard socket is the UK-style three-pin, although most resorts supply adaptors. Anyway, it’s always to bring an adaptor like this one.
