When to Visit

The Maldives is blessed with year-round warmth, though the ideal time to visit largely depends on your preferences. The dry season from December to April, with plenty of sun and less humidity, is perfect for beach bunnies. But for those who wish to dive and snorkel, May to November serves up the best undersea conditions despite being the rainy season. However, with its consistent tropical charm, there's truly no bad time to visit this island paradise.
