Best Time to Go
Mark your calendars for November to April if you want the Maldives at its sunny best. This is when the skies are clear, the rain is taking a break, and the beaches are just irresistible. Keen on meeting all the colourful fish and corals? The diving and snorkelling here are fantastic all year round.
Places to Stay
The Maldives is famous for its drop-dead gorgeous resorts and overwater bungalows where you wake up to the ocean right at your doorstep. Feel like indulging? Check out places like Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives. There are guesthouses too, but nothing beats the pull of Maldives overwater villas.
Getting Around
You’ll likely be zipping across the water on a speedboat or flying high in a seaplane. Seaplanes are a quick way to get to your resort and is often used only if your resort is located far away from the airport, while speedboats are a bit more wallet-friendly and are convenient when it comes to reaching resorts close by.
Things to Do
Whether you want adventure or just want to chill, the Maldives will meet your rhythm. Dive into the blue to explore vibrant reefs, lounge on white sandy beaches, or soak up some local culture on the islands. If you’re in the mood to be pampered, don’t skip a spa day.
