Before Your Arrival

• The Maldives Health Protection Agency (HPA) has made it a mandatory requirement for all tourists (including those who have completed the prescribed dose(s) of a Covid-19 vaccine) to present a negative result for a Nucleic Acid Test (PCR test) for Covid-19 on arrival effective 03rd May 2021. The sample for said PCR test must be taken not more than 96 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure from the first port of embarkation en-route to the Maldives. However, children below one-year-old are exempted from the aforementioned requirement.
• HPA mandates all travelers to submit the negative PCR Test Result on an online health declaration form within 24-hour prior to their departure to the Maldives. Under the question “Which island will you be staying?”, select Hard Rock Hotel Maldives.

Arriving to Maldives

• As a proactive Covid-19 prevention measure, random sampling and testing of passengers at the airport will be conducted by HPA. This would be free of charge and international travellers may use the negative test result for their departure if it is within the required duration as mandate by their country.

Changing Resorts

• Arrival and departure details must be shared prior to the stay. Guests arriving from another resort or departing to another resort within the Maldives will be subject to the status of both resorts at the time of change of property in relation to COVID-19 guidance and approval by the Ministry of Tourism (MOT) and Ministry of Health (HPA) of Maldives. If either of the resorts is under ‘monitoring status’ by MOT or HPA for contact tracing by local authorities; then, the approval may not be granted and this may impact your stay and require reservations to be canceled at the destination resort.

Departing from Maldives

• Many airlines and countries require PCR Test on arriving passengers. We do offer a PCR test service in our resort for the convenience of our guests at a charge of 120 USD. It normally takes up to 24 hours to get the results. Please ensure to regularly check with your airline, and the destination country on their PCR timing requirement. Some countries require 72, 48 or 24 hours old PCR test from the boarding and/or arrival time. Please ensure to have the latest information that is applicable to your destination as the rules are changing rapidly. Hard Rock Hotel Maldives will provide you a professional PCR service based on your requested timing. However, we will not assume any responsibility if the timing of the test is not in accordance to the requirements of the airline or the destination country.

Additional Procedures

• We currently do not accept guests who reside or stayed overnight in Male, Hulhumale, other local islands and safari boats before coming to our resort. If you are traveling to our resort from another resort, you must contact the reception team at the resort you are staying so they can assist you with the required approvals for inter-island travel, as indicated above.
• If you test positive for Covid-19, while in the resort, we will follow government guidelines on contact tracing and quarantine. For more information, please follow this link.
• Guests who have traveled to/been in India within the past 14 days are required to conduct a PCR test upon arrival to the resort (USD 120 per test) and remain in quarantine in their villa/room till a negative result is received (usually within 24 hours).
