When to Come
Since the Maldives has warm, tropical weather year-round it is always a good time to visit. There are particular times during the year when such things as resort prices or water clarity (for diving) change which may be of interest to you. If you visit during the dry season, which is from December to April, you get a few extra hours of sunshine and a less likely chance of rain. However, this is the most popular time to visit, and resorts can be fully booked with prices that are higher during these months. The Christmas and New Year holidays are the busiest and most expensive part of this season. During the wet season, from May to November, rain, cloudy skies and higher humidity can be more likely (though we have seen many sunny days during this time). There are fewer tourists and lower prices during this period. For divers, November and April are good months to visit since the seasonal change can bring increased water clarity and better visibility.
