Yesim eSIM Plans for Maldives
What you get with Yesim in Maldives
Which Yesim plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £5.69 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Maldives, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Yesim's Maldives lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle — the 10 GB option is the safer choice. The unlimited plans are priced at a premium but make sense for heavy users who don't want to track usage.
One thing to note: Yesim Maldives plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Yesim eSIM for Maldives 2026 — what you need to know
Yesim is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Maldives coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Yesim a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.
The Maldives has two operators: Dhiraagu (the incumbent, biggest) and Ooredoo Maldives. Both run 4G across Malé, Hulhumalé and most inhabited islands and resort islands. Dhiraagu launched 5G commercially in Malé and on selected resorts in 2023, and Ooredoo has its own 5G rollout in the capital area. Most resort islands have wifi anyway. The atolls are well covered by 4G across the populated and resort areas, but liveaboard dive boats out on the channels between atolls drop to weaker signal or none at all between islands. Domestic seaplane transfers obviously go offline.
Is Yesim good in Maldives?
In our testing, Yesim connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Maldives. Plug is type D/G/J/K/L (230V, the variety is wild), but most resorts are standardised on type G (UK three-pin). Currency is the rufiyaa but US dollars and cards work everywhere on resorts, you barely touch local cash.
