Sunny, blissful seascapes are what draw crowds to the Maldives. But, when is the best time to schedule a visit to the archipelago? Let’s find out.
The General Maldives season
The general consensus is that the best time to visit the soulful Maldives is between November to April. Most Maldives island resorts plan for an influx of guests during this season. Resorts like the Saii Lagoon Maldives offer all-inclusive packages in these months.
Let’s break this down a little more.
Maldives in January
In January, you can expect short bouts of rain in the Maldives but sunny times prevail.
Maldives from February to March
From February to March, sunshine falls in abundance across the islands. Water visibility is at its best during these months, calling all travellers to snorkel to their heart’s content.
Maldives in April
You can expect some rainfall in April, but never too much as to be disruptive.
Maldives from May to September
It rains from time to time from May to September, but those showers are more like respites from the heat. You can spend time getting pampered at the spa or luxuriating in your room, and then venture out to explore when the sun comes out.
Maldives from October to November
Sharks, manta rays and other sea creatures get about more from October to November. These months offer great times for those who love the underwater world. However, thunderstorms are not too far from the horizon in October and November.
Maldives in December
In December, you can find equal parts sunny and rainy weather. But, the Maldives is a good place to get away from the cold weather in December.
