Maldives family resorts such as the Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort have plenty of fun and safe areas for your kids to play in and are family-friendly. This gives parents the perfect opportunity to relax by the pool and have some quiet time too.
Monsoon Seasons
Despite near-constant spells of sunshine, there are two seasons to bear in mind when visiting the Maldives. The heat and humidity are punctuated by a wet season that runs from May until November and it’s accompanied by heavier rainfall and strong gusts of winds. Whereas the dry season, which is also the busiest period, runs from December to April.
Best Times To Visit
When making this choice, the foremost factor to consider is the weather. The islands are undoubtedly busiest during the dryer spell, which means there’ll be more tourists. However, the islands are just as lovely to visit during its off-peak season if you don’t mind a little rain especially since the sun never seems to stop shining on these lovely islands.
