Republic Day of the Maldives

While the island nation is a haven for the best resorts in Maldives for couples and families, standing out as one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world, the historical significance of the Maldives is worth exploring while vacationing in lodgings like OBLU SELECT LOBIGILI. On the 11^th of November 2022, the proud citizens of the country celebrated Republic Day, an event to mark the nation’s transition from a monarchy to a republic.

While the island was under the sovereignty of the Sultan for many years, in 1887, it became a protectorate of the British Empire. However, while the Sultans reigned, they converted into a republic for the first time in 1953, due to the failure of appointing a new sultanate. However, the monarchy was restored once again in 1954, only to become a republic once again on the 11^th of November 1968.
