Clear waters, calm days—Maldives made simple
Thinking about a trip to the Maldives? This island paradise is more than just postcard-perfect beaches. Whether you’re after relaxation, water sports, or unique island stays, this guide will help you plan a smooth and memorable trip to the Maldives.
Choose the Right Time to Go
The Maldives is warm year-round, but the best months to visit are November to April, when the skies are clear and the sea is calm. If you’re looking for better rates, consider travelling during the off-season from May to October.
Book Speedboat or Seaplane Transfers Early
Most resorts are on private islands, so you’ll need extra transport after landing in Malé. Check if your resort requires a seaplane or speedboat and book it ahead—these transfers fill up quickly.
Pick the Stay That Suits You
From overwater villas to beachside bungalows, options vary by island. For instance, NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort offers beachfront luxury with diving experiences—ideal if you want easy access to coral reefs.
Pack Light but Right
Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, flip-flops, and a good book. Dress codes are casual, but some resort restaurants may require light evening wear.
Don’t Skip Island Hopping
Explore beyond your cosy Maldives resort villas. Join a local island tour or snorkelling trip to see more of the Maldives and its marine life.
