Best time to go
When to visit the Maldives
Dec – Apr
Dry Season
The Northeast Monsoon brings calmer seas, lower rainfall and the clearest underwater visibility of the year.
May – Nov
Green Season
The Southwest Monsoon brings short showers, lush island greenery, fewer crowds and better value for longer charters.
Mid-Dec – Feb
Peak Season
Festive-period and February travel bring the highest demand for cabins, so these dates are the first to book out each year.
May – Nov
Manta Season
Plankton blooms draw manta rays and whale sharks to Baa and Ari Atoll, making this the strongest window for marine-life encounters.
