I am moving to the maldives to work at a resort. What is it like there for an American woman?

Will I be able to find contact lenses, refill birth control pills, purchase western style clothing or make up? Any advise from locals or expats would be great thanks!

sure, you can get all that from Male' the capital of Maldives.
you will do just fine working at a resort, usually the staff are friendly towards expatriates

If you like the Sea and the Ocean.
Maldives is the Dream come true.

It is not necessary for Make-up or Cosmetics but Sun block is very necessary.
Western Stle clothing and Pharmacies are in Male,the Capital.

You will soon find out what it means:
