The best time to visit the Maldives is from November to April. The island nation is warm and sunny year-round, but consists of a dry season and a wet, rainy season. May to October is considered the rainy season, with the islands seeing between 5 and 10 inches of precipitation monthly and often strong winds.

How much does it rain in Maldives in May?

Southwest monsoon (wet season) usually extends from May to November. In this season the Maldives can experience torrential rain, strong winds and storms. The change over period usually occurs sometime in late November-December accompanied by a period of unsettled weather.

The best time to visit on a budget would be between April and June. The weather is not as wet as later months, and you can find comfy accommodation, which is cheaper than the luxury resorts. Try booking your flight in advance, and plan around the peak seasons.

How many days do you need in the Maldives?

Unless you are into specific activities that requires time such as diving & deep sea fishing, Maldives is perfect for a short stay instead of a long one. Anything more than 1 week will be too much for our opinion. 4 to 5 days is usually sufficient if staying in one hotel and perhaps 7 days if 2 hotels.

The Maldives are not for everyone, but they are absolutely perfect for some people on some trips.
