The Maldives is all about clear blue water, white sand, and total relaxation. Whether you’re travelling for romance, diving, or just a break, this guide covers the essentials.
When to Go
The best time to visit is between November and April when the weather is dry and sunny. This is also the peak season, so booking early helps you find better rates. The wet season from May to October has fewer crowds and lower prices, though rain is more likely.
Where to Stay
There are over a hundred island resorts in the Maldives, each on its own private island. Some of the best luxury resorts in Maldives offer overwater villas, underwater restaurants, and top-tier service. NH Maldives Kuda Rah Resort is one example, known for its blend of comfort, seclusion, and easy access to dive spots.
How to Get Around
Most travellers arrive via Malé International Airport. From there, resorts are reached by speedboat or seaplane, depending on location. Transfers are usually arranged by the resort and can take anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour.
What to Do
Snorkelling, diving, and sunset cruises are popular. You can also try paddleboarding, enjoy spa treatments, or just relax on the beach with a book. Many resorts also offer local island visits for a glimpse into Maldivian life.
