Quick facts

Best time to go: The weather in the Maldives is usually picture perfect: sunlit days, breezy nights, balmy mornings, and iridescent sunsets. The temperature hardly ever changes – which makes packing for your holiday an easy task (see what to pack). With the average temperature at about 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year, the sun is a constant on most days, shining through treetops, creating lacy patterns on your feet, healing cold-bones with its warmth. Throughout the day, the sun will make itself known, ensuring that it will be remembered and missed, like an old friend.

High Season: October to March
Low Season: April to July
Best Weather: Maldives has two distinct seasons; dry season (northeast monsoon) and wet season (southwest monsoon), with the former extending from January to March and the latter from mid-May to November.

October to June (Dry Season)

• The temperature is the same through the year at 30°C
• The water in Maldives is also the same through the year

Mid July to End August (Wet Season)

• Through the day you may experience short sporadic shower.
• The sea which is usually very calm through the year may get a little choppy for snorkelling.
• However with great discounts during this time of the year, it still remains a great destination for a relaxing holiday
