'''Time in the Maldives''' is given by Maldives Time (MVT) ([UTC+05:00](/source/UTC%2B05%3A00)). However, some island resorts operate their own time zone, known as Maldives Island Time, up to 2 hours ahead of the official Maldives Time.<ref name="timeanddate">[http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/maldives/male Time Zone in Male, Maldives]</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mainlymaldives.co.uk/maldives-island-time/ | title=Maldives Island Time, unofficial time zone for some islands | date=26 February 2019 }}</ref> The [Maldives](/source/Maldives) does not currently observe [daylight saving time](/source/daylight_saving_time) as daylight hours do not vary in Maldives because the country is located on the equator.<ref name="timeanddate"/>
