The Maldives has the benefit of being in a location where the weather is pleasant all year round. The temperature never rises above 35 degree Celsius and never drops below 21 degrees! The humidity is tolerable, despite going up during the summer months. The only problem is that during the rainy seasons— which lasts from October to December, the Island is torrented by heavy rain and showers which may make the water choppy and may put a dampener on your vacation.

Thus, the best time to visit the island is between April and November, when temperatures are pleasant and the season is dry, which means your vacation will be the most enjoyable.

But we promise it is worth it! Travelling to the Maldives during the dry season means that you can take part in activities on the beach which will not be possible during the rain.
