Best Time to Visit Maldives

The best time to visit the Maldives is between November and April, outside of the monsoon season. We recommend staying during March and April (excluding the Easter holidays when pricing is more expensive) when you will enjoy hot, dry weather and quieter resorts. If your budget allows you to book a trip during this peak season, you’ll experience much lower humidity levels and very hot days.
