What to Expect From a Maldives Holiday


The Maldives is a nation of 26 coral atolls scattered across the Indian Ocean, each one a picture-perfect slice of paradise. Think palm-fringed islands, crystal-clear waters, and stilted villas that stretch over turquoise lagoons.

Most resorts in the Maldives occupy their own private island. You’ll arrive via speedboat or seaplane and settle into a world where time slows down and relaxation takes over.


  • Weather: Tropical, with year-round sunshine. Dry season runs from December to April.
  • Resorts: Ranging from 3-star barefoot luxury to 5-star all-inclusive indulgence.
  • Transfers: Quick seaplane hops or speedboat journeys directly to your resort.
  • Food & Drink: Many resorts offer multiple dining venues, cocktail bars, and full-board or all-inclusive packages.


When Is the Best Time to Visit?


The Maldives is a year-round destination, but seasonal differences can affect your experience and budget:


  • December to April: Dry season with clear skies and low humidity – perfect for sun-seekers.
  • May to November: Wet season brings tropical showers, but also fewer crowds and lower prices.
  • June to September: Great for snorkelling and diving thanks to plankton-rich waters attracting marine life.
