The nightlife in the Maldives is not very lavish, although most resorts have bars and nightclubs for visitors to enjoy the nightlife. You can enjoy nightlife with fantastic music while drinking exotic tropical cocktails.

Maldives nightlife is most popular and lively in Male where you can find a variety of bars. There are discotheques in several hotels and resorts where you can dance to popular numbers. Several discos have live band performances provided and jazz music performances are also held regularly. Parties at some of the beach resorts also feature live band music adding fun and nostalgia to the nightlife.

Crab racing is extremely popular in the Maldives. You can pick a hermit crab and participate by paying the entry fee and hoping it wins the race. Crabs don’t have riders to guide them so they run in nearly random directions all over the place and the first to cross the line wins the race.
