Traveling to the Maldives – A Month-by-Month Guide to the Best Times to Go

The Maldives is hot and sunny all year, with average temperatures of between 23ºC / 74ºF and 31ºC / 88 ºF, making it an ideal year-round destination for some fun in the sun. There are, however, better times of the year to travel to the Maldives, as some months see higher rainfall and winds than others. The island nation enjoys the best weather between November and April with full days of sunshine, warm air and sea temperatures, and very little rainfall. The monsoon season runs between May and October, peaking around June, with the northern atolls seeing the highest rainfall between May and November, and the southern atolls between November and March.

Dry Season and Wet Season

The dry season in the Maldives typically runs from around mid-December through early May, but these tend to change each year. The Northeast Monsoon season, which is most prevalent in the northern atolls, actually occurs between November and March, but due to being the dry season, it rarely amounts to anything more than a quick downpour or shower,  a couple times a week. The rainy season in the Maldives runs from early May through mid-December, with the Southwest Monsoon season (in the southern atolls) officially being in July and August.

Cloudbursts and Sunshine

Typical of the tropics, when it rains in the Maldives, it pours down heavily for a short time and then clears up just as quickly. Even during the dry season, it is not unusual to have a brief, torrential downpour in the afternoon, followed by a beautifully clear and balmy evening. During the rainy season, it tends to rain more at night, so days are sunny and bright with just a few interspersed clouds and some light rainfall. It’s rare to have more than a few cloudy days per week with sunny days in between.

It is relatively humid all year round in the Maldives with a typically muggy tropical feel, which takes a few days to become acclimatized to. The temperature, however, rarely peaks much above the averages, so even the high humidity is never unbearable like it can be in Mediterranean Europe during the hottest summer months.

Being an archipelagic island nation strung through a vast portion of the Indian Ocean, steady winds cross through the Maldives throughout the year, bringing cool breezes to the islands. During the Southern Hemisphere winter, which lasts from March until October, the North-East and South-West monsoons bring off-shore winds that create beautiful, peaking surfing waves for those who are there to surf.

Here is a month-by-month guide to the weather in the Maldives and the best times to visit.

• The Maldives in January

The Maldives’ weather in January sees hot, sunny days with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. There might be a slight chance of some rain, but this tends to occur in the afternoons and passes over quickly. The ocean is clear and warm with excellent visibility and is perfect for snorkeling and scuba-diving .

The Maldives in January: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

High: 30°C/86°F

Low: 25°C/77°F

Rain: 76 mm/3″

• The Maldives in February

February is probably one of the best months to visit the Maldives. It’s the nation’s driest month, with less than 70 mm of monthly rainfall, around 10 hours of sunshine every day, and balmy temperatures of 30°C / 86°F plus. Visibility is excellent for snorkeling and scuba-diving .

The Maldives in February: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Low: 26°C/78°F

Rain: 51 mm/2″

• The Maldives in March

March in the Maldives sees temperatures rising to an average of 30°C / 88°F which are great for long, lazy days on the beach, sunbathing, snorkeling and swimming. There might be a few possible short bursts of rain, which offer relief from the steaming temperatures, and visibility is excellent for snorkeling and scuba-diving . March is also the beginning of the surfing season in the Maldives, which brings beautiful waves and last until October. During this ‘surfing season,’ the biggest waves are most likely to occur between June and August, caused by storms in the Roaring Forties bringing big swells to the archipelago.

The Maldives in March: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

High: 31°C/88°F

Rain: 74 mm/2.9″

• The Maldives in April

This is another gorgeously hot month in the Maldives with temperatures reaching into the mid-30s / 80s. April is officially the end of the dry season, and frequent showers begin to occur around the middle of the month. The air also becomes more humid, however, visibility for snorkeling and scuba-diving is excellent.

The Maldives in April: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Low: 26°C/79°F

Rain: 132 mm/5.2″

• The Maldives in May

May is officially the beginning of the wet season with hot, muggy days, average temperatures of 31°C / 88°F, and a high risk of heavy rainfall and storms during the day. Due to the heavy rainfall and higher levels of plankton in the water, visibility for snorkeling and scuba-diving is slightly reduced, but still enjoyable. Be aware that if there are thunderstorms in the area, it’s not a good idea to be in the water, so head down to the beach for some water-based activities. May also sees the start of the holy month of Ramadan (known as Ramazan in the Maldives), bringing some restrictions to local islands.

The Maldives in May: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

High: 31°C/87°F

Rain: 216 mm/8.5″

• The Maldives in June

While June has a high chance of rainfall and reduced visibility due to the plankton in the water, this is a fantastic time to dive with manta rays and whale sharks that come to feed on the vast amounts of plankton in the water. This month sees many of the resorts offering special deals where visitors can enjoy the plethora of non-beach and water-based amenities that they have to offer. The holy month of Ramadan (Ramazan) continues into June.

The Maldives in June: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 173 mm/6.8″

• The Maldives in July

The Maldives’ weather in July is hot and humid, with short heavy downpours. This is a particularly good time of the year for surfers with the largest waves stemming from the storms in the Roaring Forties bringing big swells to the archipelago. Swell is amazingly consistent during this time of the year, with the average wave measuring two to eight-foot in height. It is also still a great time to dive with manta rays and whale sharks that come to feed on the enormous amounts of plankton in the water. The 26th July is the Maldivian Independence Day and sees parades and public celebrations on most of the resort islands.

The Maldives in July: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 147 mm/5.8″

• The Maldives in August

August is hot, humid and wet, with an average of seven hours of sunshine each day and short heavy downpours throughout the day. Visibility is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water, but many of the resorts offer enticing deals, making it a favorite time to visit.

The Maldives in August: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 188 mm/7.4″

• The Maldives in September

September in the Maldives is one of the wettest months with average maximum temperatures of 30°C / 86°F and around seven hours of sunshine each day. Due to the heavy rainfall and higher levels of plankton in the water, visibility for snorkeling and scuba-diving is slightly reduced, but still enjoyable with excellent chances of seeing manta rays and whale sharks.

The Maldives in September: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 244 mm/9.6″

• The Maldives in October

October is the Maldives’ wettest month, with high humidity and full days of rain. This is the last month of the Maldives’ surfing season, with the South-West monsoons, which occur between May and October, providing outstanding surfing the Northern and Central Atolls. Due to the heavy rainfall and higher levels of plankton in the water, visibility for snorkeling and scuba-diving is slightly reduced, but still, a great time to dive with manta rays and whale sharks.

The Maldives in October: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 221 mm/8.7″

• The Maldives in November

November in the Maldives is the end of the wet season with short showers in the afternoons and otherwise bright, sunny days. Temperatures average around 30°C / 86°F, and the visibility of the water begins to clear of the plankton, making for good scuba-diving and snorkeling.

The Maldives in November: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

Rain: 201 mm/7.9″

• The Maldives in December

The climate in December is primarily hot and dry with showers around the middle of the month. This time of year is ideal for a mid-winter escape and some sun. Christmas and New Year are particularly popular and may include minimum stays at some resorts.

The Maldives in December: Average Temperatures and Rainfall

High: 29°C/85°F

Rain: 231 mm/9.1″

Month-by-month guide

January in the maldives.

Why visit in January: January consistently serves up excellent weather with plenty of sunshine and gentle breezes. It’s the perfect time to visit if you’re hoping for clear skies and warm temperatures. The ocean tends to be calm and visibility is superb, making it an ideal time for snorkelling or a stay at one of the Maldives’ top diving resorts .

Weather in January: Expect average high temperatures around 29°C (84°F) with the possibility of showers, particularly in the southern atolls. 

Top activities: Snorkelling, diving, watersports, and outdoor activities like excursions, sunset dinners, stargazing, and open-air cinema.

February in the Maldives

Why visit in February: February typically offers the Maldives’ best weather, with long days of sunshine and rainfall at its lowest level for the year. Light winds, calm water, and excellent underwater visibility make it a great time for water-based activities and excursions. It’s also the ideal month for couples looking for a romantic retreat, with many resorts offering special packages for Valentine’s Day.

Weather in February: Temperatures are pleasant, with highs around 29°C (84°F) and minimal rainfall.

Top activities: Snorkelling, diving, watersports, and outdoor activities like excursions, sunset dinners, stargazing, and outdoor cinema, plus couples’ spa treatments.

March in the Maldives

Why visit in March: The dry season continues throughout March with hot, sunny days and little rainfall. March is also the beginning of the surf season in the Maldives, so if you’re looking for a combination of waves and great weather, now’s the time to head to a luxury surf resort . That being said, as March is part of the shoulder season for surfing, you might find that swells are not as consistent as later in the year, so if guaranteed waves are your priority, it could pay to wait a little longer.

Weather in March: Days are typically dry and sunny with highs of around 31°C (88°F), but you may experience the odd rain shower.

Top activities: Snorkelling, diving, surfing, watersports, and outdoor activities like excursions, sunset dinners, stargazing, and open-air cinema.

April in the Maldives

Why visit in April: April is the last month of peak season in the Maldives and continues to offer lovely weather and great conditions for water sports, with good visibility for diving and snorkelling. Towards the end of the month, the dry season gives way to the southwest monsoon season and you may experience higher rainfall.

Weather in April: Average high temperatures hover around 31°C (88°F), with occasional rainfall, particularly later in the month. 

May in the Maldives

Why visit in May: As the southwest monsoon takes over, perfect weather trades places with perfect waves, so if surfing in the Maldives is on your bucket list, start packing. May marks the beginning of the low season, with fewer crowds and cheaper deals available. This is also a great time to spot manta rays and whale sharks in the central atolls. 

Weather in May: Expect the wind to pick up, along with occasional heavy rainfall and overcast skies. Temperatures remain warm at around 31°C (88°F).

Top activities: Surfing, kitesurfing, swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, spa treatments, and wellness experiences.

June in the Maldives

Why visit in June: June continues the monsoon season, but don’t let the possibility of rain deter you. It’s a great time for guilt-free relaxation and rejuvenation, with luxury resorts offering world-class spa treatments and wellness experiences, many in stunning overwater spas. Resort prices are among the lowest in June, making it a fantastic time to visit the Maldives on a budget .

Weather in June: Sunny periods are usually interspersed with rainfall. Temperatures remain around 31°C (88°F).

Top activities: Surfing, kitesurfing, swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, spa treatments, and wellness sessions like yoga and meditation.

July in the Maldives

Why visit in July: July is ideal for a diverse range of travellers seeking relaxation and adventure. Rain may feature in your itinerary, but so will the opportunity for encounters with breathtaking marine life, nourishing wellness experiences, and watersports like surfing and kitesurfing.

Weather in July: Rainfall continues, but so do sunny breaks. Temperatures remain warm at around 31°C (88°F).

August in the Maldives

Why visit in August: August is an excellent time to visit the Maldives if you don’t mind the possibility of rain. Resort and flight prices remain among their lowest, and many resorts offer perks like complimentary villa and meal plan upgrades. The surf season is in full swing, with consistent swells producing the biggest waves between June and August.

Weather in August: Occasional rain with sunny periods. Temperatures remain warm at around 31°C (88°F).

September in the Maldives

Why visit in September: September continues to offer lower prices and fewer crowds, along with the opportunity to witness incredible marine life, like manta rays and whale sharks. While the weather can be unpredictable, there are still plenty of sunny intervals to enjoy outdoor activities and water sports such as surfing and kitesurfing. 

Weather in September: A mix of downpours and sunny periods. Temperatures remain around 30°C (86°F).

October in the Maldives

Why visit in October: October is the start of the transitional period between the wet monsoon and the dry monsoon seasons. The weather is typically a mix of heavy rain and sunshine, but the warm waters of the Maldives remain inviting year-round and October offers excellent conditions for various water sports. 

Weather in October: Possibly abundant rainfall but a healthy amount of sunshine too, with temperatures peaking around 30°C (86°F).

November in the Maldives

Why visit in November: Weather-wise, November is similar to October in that you can expect a mix of rain and sunshine, but rainfall should start gradually reducing as we head towards the dry season, particularly in the northern atolls. 

Weather in November: Sunshine and showers, with daytime temperatures peaking around 29°C (84°F).

Top activities: Surfing, swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, spa treatments, and wellness experiences.

December in the Maldives

Why visit in December: December is the beginning of the dry season in the Maldives and the weather starts to become more settled, particularly in the northern atolls, though showers are still possible. Many luxury resorts offer special packages for the festive period, including lavish celebration dinners. Underwater visibility also begins to improve in December, and it’s a great time to enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving.

Weather in December: Plenty of sun with occasional showers. Temperatures hover around 29°C (84°F).

Top activities: Special festive celebrations, water sports, and exploring the vibrant underwater world.

A caveat to the best time to visit the Maldives

When you’re weighing up the best time to visit the Maldives, it’s important to remember that all weather data is based on past conditions, and it’s impossible to predict the future. So while the wet season months of May to November typically see more unsettled weather with higher rainfall, you could have back-to-back days of sunshine. Equally, you could experience grey skies and showers in the dry season – there’s no way to know for sure what will happen. 

Bear in mind that the Maldives is a long, thin chain of islands spanning more than 500 miles from north to south. Just as you’d expect different cities to have different weather, the same is true from one atoll to another and even neighbouring islands! 

Finally, don’t forget that weather averages usually take account of the whole country and that regional variations, for example, higher rainfall in the southern atolls, may slightly skew the overall picture. Use the weather data as a guide, but don’t rely on it in absolute terms.

When is the best time to go to the Maldives?

Feb 7, 2024 • 6 min read

Find the perfect time for your ideal trip to the Maldives © John Lamb / Getty Images

First things first: there's not really any such thing as a bad time to visit the Maldives . Whether your holiday to the Indian Ocean’s pièce de résistance is a romantic escape, a getaway with friends or a solo adventure, you're in for an incredible experience.

That said, it’s worth spending a moment researching the advantages of visiting during specific times, maybe to optimize amazing wildlife sightings or find the best snorkeling conditions. Our seasonal guide to the Maldives will ensure you don't pick the wrong month for a relaxing honeymoon or miss out on the underwater experience of your dreams.

All that’s left for you to decide is  which island is right for you . Just a word of warning – with 1192 to choose from, this is easier said than done…

January to March is the best time for fantastic weather

If warm weather and sun-drenched beaches are a priority, you can’t go wrong with a visit to the Maldives in January, February or March. These months fall outside the monsoon period and are typically when the islands get the most hours of sun. Full disclosure – monsoon season tails off in late November but this is when prices start to creep up due to the demand for winter sun holidays, while rates also get higher closer to Christmas.

Another reason this is an excellent time to visit is because this is when the water is at its clearest and calmest – the snorkeling and diving are fantastic. Atolls such as the Raa Atoll, famous for its diverse marine life and spectacular coral formations, are great destinations to check out at this time of year. But if you’re a beach bum who prefers to stay close to their sun lounger, you’re also in luck – on average you can expect around nine hours of sunshine during these months, while humidity levels remain low and average temperatures hover around 29°C (84°F).

April to August is a great time to bag a bargain

Late April is when the first showers of the year start to appear but April to August is still a wonderful time to book a holiday to the Maldives, simply because it’s one of the cheapest times to visit. Even with the higher chance of rainfall, you’ll still enjoy between seven and eight hours of sunshine every day.

It’s worth bearing in mind that if you’re a keen snorkeler or scuba diver, water visibility is often reduced during these months (although the average sea temperature at this time – a bath-warm 30°C (86°F) – means it’s still a fantastic time for a dip in the ocean). This is an excellent season for travelers with a limited budget – airfares and resort rates are significantly lower and resorts are less crowded. Finding a spot at the bar from which to soak up those gorgeous sunset views won’t be a problem and complimentary room upgrades are more likely.

Don’t forget that the Maldives isn’t just about the great outdoors, either: resorts offer a staggering range of activities (most of which don’t depend on the weather) and there are often more on offer between April and August, ranging from cookery masterclasses to art workshops. Fancy embracing paint power? Cora Cora Maldives , on the Raa Atoll, is a great option and runs a series of art classes with a local artist who daubed his beautiful designs onto the resort’s villas.

June and July are when to hang ten in the Maldives

June and July are ideal months to try surfing in the Maldives because this is when the waves are at their highest. A growing number of resorts now have surf schools, although one of our favorite spots is Laamu Atoll. This is where you’ll find the Six Senses Laamu , which was one of the first resorts in the Maldives with a surf school. Generally, the northern and central atolls are the best destinations for surfing in the Maldives.

July is the perfect time to join in with Independence Day celebrations

The Maldives’ Independence Day is on July 26 and parades, parties and cultural performances transform this island nation as everyone celebrates together, with some of the most colorful celebrations held at the country’s resorts. Typically, there’s a wider range of cultural activities for guests to enjoy around this time, whether it’s masterclasses led by traditional lacquer artists or lessons in leaf-folding, which involves creating elaborate sculptures from palm leaves. Trust us – your average piece of Japanese origami will look rather plain after this.

Independence Day is also a great time to sample local cuisine, as many resorts will roll out special celebratory menus. Highlights will often include delicious cakes adorned with the colors of the Maldivian flag (the cutting of this cake is usually one of the most important events) and there will be endless opportunities to sample traditional dishes such as saagu bondai bai , a delicious sago dessert made with coconut milk, rose water and cardamom.

October and November are brilliant months for wildlife spotting

Yes, there’s a higher risk of rainfall and thunderstorms during these months, but they’re generally short, sharp downpours. You can expect between six and eight hours of sun a day, while the mercury will hover around 27°C (80°F). The major advantage to visiting at this time of year is the wildlife-spotting opportunities. Whale sharks and manta rays are regularly sighted as they feast on plankton. For some of the best sightings head to the Raa Atoll – this is a prime manta-spotting territory, and the northern tip’s proximity to the Baa Atoll (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) ramps up the wow factor.

If seeing the region’s marine life is a priority, stay at a resort that operates conservation programs or other schemes designed with wildlife in mind. The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort , for example, is regarded as one of the best places to see manta rays. But don’t just take our word for it – this is where UK-based charity The Manta Trust chose to set up its first base in the Maldives, and visitors can sign up for a wide range of manta-themed activities, including manta-spotting snorkeling excursions and presentations about the charity’s work.

December means plenty of opportunities for festive fun

Yes, December is one of the more expensive times to visit the Maldives, but we’re firm believers this period should never be ruled out. It’s a fantastic time to spot marine life and the region’s resorts go all out when it comes to festive fun. At the Hard Rock Maldives and the St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort , for example, Santa typically makes regular visits on his jet-ski, and almost every resort will drape its palm trees with fairy lights.

One way to offset the higher prices is by opting for a resort that can be reached by speedboat (the cost of which is normally included in the room rate), rather than a more expensive seaplane journey. Weather-wise, expect around seven hours of sunshine a day and daytime temperatures of around 29°C (84°F). Sea temperatures are slightly cooler, but still hover around a perfectly pleasant 20°C (68°F) – the ideal temperature for a post-Christmas-dinner dip in the ocean, we reckon.

Best Times To Visit Maldives

The best time to visit the Maldives is from November to April, when there is little precipitation and warm temperatures, ranging between the high 70s and mid-80s. The island nation is warm and sunny year-round, but it does experience a dry season and a rainy season, and there are pros and cons to each. Though the period between November and April promises the best weather, this is also the busiest time of year and, as such, the room rates at resorts are expensive. However, since each resort inhabits its own island, you won't have to contend with the same intensity of crowds like you might during the high season in another tropical destination with more public facilities. Check the number of villas and size of the island before you go, so you can get an idea of how tranquil the island will be.

May to October is considered the rainy season, with the southern atolls experiencing the most rain. During this time, islands see between 7 and 8 inches of precipitation monthly and often strong winds. However, showers tend to be short and punctuated by sunshine. Some days, it only rains overnight, while there can be many hours of sunshine through the day, if you're lucky. Some travelers find the better deals available during rainy season make it worth the gamble of visiting, although July and August are the riskiest months. However, the term "deal" is relative, since the Maldives is a pricey location year-round. This time of year is also popular with surfers because the area sees bigger waves and better swells for surfing during these months.

Note that the private resorts are permitted to celebrate non-Islamic holidays, including Christmas, Easter and Diwali, but you will not find them celebrated on inhabited islands.

Go when the temperatures promise warmth and clear skies. Want to scuba dive into the ocean and get your PADI certification? Best to visit when the conditions offer clear visibility in the waters. But to meet those Goldilocks windows for travel, planning ahead is key.

Chances are, you want to go the the Maldives because you’ve seen how truly beautiful it is. Dotted like ink blots in the clear, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is an archipelago made up of more than 1,000 islands, 200 of which are inhabited. Historically a honeymoon destination , the best hotels in the Maldives have shifted the destination up a gear, opening it up further to the realms of solo travel and multi-generational holidays. Between the consistently hot weather, unspoiled sandy beaches , high-design hotels, and award-winning restaurants, it’s hard to find fault with this small but mighty contender for winter sunshine.

But there’s no denying that it's a bucket list destination for many, so it’s understandable that you'd want to plan as much as possible to find the perfect time to go. To get some insider intel on the best time to visit the Maldives, Condé Nast Traveler tapped Marteyne van Well, the regional general manager of Six Senses Maldives, who oversees both of the spa-and-wellness-oriented hotelier’s properties in the country: Six Senses Laamu and Six Senses Kanuhura . Here’s what you need to know.

The best time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April.

When is the best time to go to the Maldives?

There’s no bad time to visit the Maldives, but it’s an especially effective antidote to long, dark winters wherever you are. Once you get to the Maldives, you’ll find almost idyllic island conditions: upwards of eight hours of sun per day, average temperatures of around 82°F, an ocean teeming with wildlife, and some of the most luxuriously comfortable hotels in the world.

“The best time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April,” says van Well. “During this period, you can expect clear skies, plenty of sunshine, and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the pristine beaches, snorkeling, and diving.” For scuba divers and snorkelers, visibility is particularly good during the dry season, too, as a result of currents flowing from the northeast. The eastern atolls enjoy the best visibility, with whale sharks and manta rays most commonly spotted between August and November.

If you can, avoid the wet season, which starts in May and ends in October in the Maldives, when there is considerably more rain in the islands and occasionally strong winds. The shoulder seasons of late October and late April are considered shoulder season; at this time, room rates at hotels across the Maldives and flight prices into the capital city of Male are lower, and travelers can score some serious savings and while enjoying beautiful days with an average temperature of 88°F.

What are the Maldives like during Christmas and New Year?

Winter is the peak tourist season in the Maldives, so even though you might see more people than usual, it’s absolutely a delightful time to visit, says van Well. “The weather is usually sunny with temperatures ranging from 77 to 90°F, making it a welcome escape from colder climates.” During the festive season, hotels across the country offer special experiences that get guests in the celebratory mood. At Six Senses, there’s often a calendar of special events, dinners, and entertainment options that meet the seasonal mood, says van Well.

Many of the other hotels and resorts in the Maldives also know how to throw a party, even with the islands’ quiet and low-key attitude: Gili Lankanfushi kicks off the season with a ​​Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and The Nautilus hosts Santa hat-making classes for kids—and Santa himself drops off gifts for adults and kids at Joali . From Christmas movies on the beach to New Year’s celebrations under the stars, even those trying to escape all the duties that holiday season can still enjoy a bit of the festive season in the Maldives.

What’s summer like in the Maldives?

Summer in the Maldives lasts from May to October, and van Well says that the season is characterized by higher humidity and occasional rain showers, especially during the monsoon season from June to August. Outside of monsoon season, the rain can be unpredictable, but the showers are usually short-lived and typically followed by clear skies. “Despite the occasional rain, this period can still be a great time to visit for those seeking the quiet island life,” says van Well. “There are excellent diving and surfing conditions, low season rates, and the chance to witness turtle nests hatching.”

Summer in the Maldives offers excellent diving and surfing conditions, low season rates, and the chance to witness turtle nests hatching.

When is the cheapest time to visit the Maldives?

The cheapest time to visit the Maldives is during the low season, which is May to November. The low season sees hotel rates drop substantially, with free transfers, free nights, and room upgrades thrown in regularly. You risk some cloudy days and light showers, but temperatures remain in the mid-80s, so you’re still in for a treat of a trip. A few extra tips: Swap the seaplane for a speedboat to save yourself more than $250, and be on the lookout for new hotels, which offer introductory deals in the first few months of opening.

What’s scuba diving like in the Maldives?

Whether you’ve got your PADI or you just fancy a fun dive, dipping beneath the archipelago’s surface is a magical experience. From the native corals, colorful anemones, and sea turtles, swooping manta rays and curious (but harmless) whale sharks, the excellent visibility here makes the Maldives one of the best places to witness marine life in its natural habitat. Many resorts have in-house marine biologists who enable budding conservationists of every age to learn more about the environment and help make a positive impact on it.

If you’re not itching to dive but would still appreciate other aquatic endeavors, there are indulgent infinity pools and white sandy sweeps descending into sparkling waters all across the Maldives; secluded picnic spots and private terraces make for the finest of dining experiences; overwater villas make even your down-time up-market; wellness centers and bespoke spa experiences help you to fully embrace the go-slow pace.

What should a first timer in the Maldives know before visiting?

For first-time visitors to the Maldives, van Well of Six Senses says there are a handful of essential things to keep in mind. For most tourists, the places where you stay are actually private resort islands, and each offers its own unique experience. “These islands are self-contained and provide everything from accommodation and dining to recreational activities,” says van Well. You can pack as if you were packing for any other beach or island destination: “Everything from shampoo, reef-safe sunscreen, to sim cards for your cellphone is available on the island.”

Travel between islands is primarily by boat or seaplane. Resort transfers are arranged by the resort itself, so it’s essential to confirm these details in advance, says van Well. Ensure your flight arrival and departure aligns with the transfer options available. Also, the Maldives is a Muslim country, and van Well encourages all visitors to respect local customs and dress modestly when outside resorts. Typically pants and garments that cover the shoulders are recommended.

The Maldives is a destination that has a starring role in many vacationers’ dreams. White sand, crystal clear water, and a remote location make it an exotic playground that many of us have at the top of our bucket lists.

When planning a trip to the Maldives, there are a lot of things to take into consideration, including what resort you’ll stay at, how you’ll get there, how much money you plan on spending, and of course, what time of year you want to visit.

While the Maldives is a year-round destination, there are 2 distinct seasons that offer different benefits and drawbacks. In this guide, we’ll explore the best times to visit the Maldives, both by season and by interest. So, if you’re wondering about the best time to visit the Maldives for snorkeling or the best time to visit the Maldives to save money, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s get to it and start exploring the best (and worst) times to visit the Maldives.

The Maldives is an archipelago made up of over 1,000 islands located in the Indian Ocean southwest of Sri Lanka and India. Since it’s situated just north of the equator, the temperature stays relatively constant throughout the year with high temperatures in the mid-80s and low temperatures in the mid- to high 70s.

Of all the islands in the Maldives, only about 200 are inhabited. These islands are separated into 26 atolls — ring-shaped islands or chains of islands — spread out over 500 miles north to south and 80 miles east to west.

The Maldives is the lowest lying country in the world , with not a single island sitting higher than 6 feet above sea level. The capital, Malé, is only 3.2 square miles and is home to over 250,000 people, making it one of the most densely populated cities in the world.

Hot Tip: Learn about the best ways to fly and stay in the Maldives with points and miles in our detailed guide!

The Maldives is a bit unique because it doesn’t experience 4 seasons like many places around the world. Instead, it has 2 — a dry season and a wet season.

Let’s take a look at the difference between these 2 seasons, as well as the weather in the Maldives each month. Keep in mind that the islands and atolls are spread out over about 500 miles north to south, so the weather can vary throughout the country.

Wet Season in The Maldives

The wet ( southwest monsoon) season in the Maldives is from May to October . Each island can see up to 9.5 inches of rain in a single month, making it a less popular time to visit for many tourists. However, just because it’s the wet season doesn’t mean there aren’t any sunny days. The weather during this time period is unpredictable and can include a combination of massive rainstorms with multiple sunny days.

The southern atolls see more yearly rainfall overall than the northern atolls, but storms are less frequent there and it’s less windy and sunnier overall.

Dry Season in The Maldives

The dry (northeast monsoon) season in the Maldives is from November to April . This is generally thought of as the best time to visit. While this is considered the dry season, it can still rain during this time period. November and December can actually see quite a bit of rain, mostly in the form of brief afternoon or evening thunderstorms, so keep that in mind when planning your trip to the Maldives. For the best chance of dry weather, plan your vacation for February or March.

The Maldives in January

January is a peak time to visit the Maldives. Temperatures range between 77 and 84 degrees. The days are mostly sunny with an average rainfall of about 2.95 inches. Prices can be high, especially at the beginning of the month around New Year’s Day.

The Maldives in February

February is one of the best months to visit the Maldives. With less than 2 inches of rain, it’s also the driest month of the year . The temperature ranges from 79 to 84 degrees and the warm waters are crystal clear. February is prime time for romantic getaways, so expect high prices, especially around Valentine’s Day.

The Maldives in March

March is also a popular month to visit the Maldives. Temperatures range from 81 to 86 degrees and rainfall is at a minimum. It’s a great time for snorkeling and scuba diving since the waters are still calm and clear during this time. Prices can still be pretty high during March, especially when Easter falls during the month.

Hot Tip: The Maldives lies just north of the equator, so the sun can be intense. If you plan to spend lots of time outside, be sure to protect your skin with a rash guard and lots of sunscreen.

The Maldives in April

April is a transition month in the Maldives. This time between the dry and wet seasons can see unpredictable weather, including frequent afternoon storms, although there are still plenty of sunny days to be had. Water temperatures are at the highest of the year, averaging 86 degrees, so it’s a great time for activities like scuba diving and snorkeling. Air temperatures are also at the highest of the year , ranging from 81 to 88 degrees.

The Maldives in May

May marks the beginning of the wet season in the Maldives. This means there will be fewer crowds and lower prices, but also a higher chance of a lot of rain. Water visibility reduces and sea conditions can become a bit rougher. While that’s not great for scuba diving and snorkeling, it’s perfect for surfing. The temperatures in May drop from their April peak but are still warm with averages between 79 and 86 degrees. May can be quite a wet month, averaging over 8 inches of rain.

The Maldives in June

June can be very rainy in the Maldives which often receives almost 7 inches of rain, leading resorts to offer lower prices . This is great if you’re trying to save money, but set your expectations to include the possibility of some massive storms. While it can be wet anywhere in the country in June, the southern islands and atolls tend to be a little drier than the northern ones. Temperatures range from 79 to 84 degrees.

The Maldives in July

While July is a rainy month in the Maldives, prices can increase slightly due to summer vacations. Temperatures remain steady between 79 and 84 degrees. July is a great time for surfing in the Maldives .

The Maldives in August

While still part of the wet season, August is a popular time to visit the Maldives due to school vacations. Temperatures are similar to June and July, ranging from 79 to 84 degrees. Rainfall can be a little less in the north than in the south, with the country seeing about 7.5 inches of rain in August.

The Maldives in September

September is the wettest month in the Maldives and the peak of the low season. Rainfall averages about 9.5 inches and downpours can be heavy. While this can be a good time to visit for surfers or those looking for low rates, it’s not ideal if you want to soak up the sun or float in calm waters outside of your overwater bungalow. Temperatures are still warm though, ranging from 77 to 84 degrees.

The Maldives in October

October is another transition month in the Maldives, with the wet season coming to an end and the dry season emerging toward the end of the month. Rainfall averages between 8.5 inches and 9 inches in October. There’s still great surfing during this month and temperatures remain steady between 77 and 84 degrees. Prices should still be relatively low since the weather can be unpredictable .

The Maldives in November

November is the coolest month in the Maldives , although it’s far from cold with temperatures ranging from 75 to 84 degrees. It’s the end of the surf season and the beginning of the peak season in the Maldives. Average rainfall drops below 8 inches but heavy downpours can still be common. Resort prices start to creep back up this month.

The Maldives in December

December is the beginning of peak travel times in the Maldives, although it’s actually one of the wettest months! December can see over 9 inches of rain, but it tends to happen at the beginning of the month. Temperatures remain balmy, fluctuating between 77 and 84 degrees. The Christmas and New Year holidays at the end of the month are popular times to visit the Maldives and therefore prices can be sky high. Some resorts may even have minimum stay requirements if you’re visiting during the holidays.

Bottom Line: The temperature is fairly consistent year-round in the Maldives, so you’ll want to pay attention to the wet and dry seasons when choosing when to plan your trip. The most popular time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season from November to April. If you’re trying to save some money, aim to visit during the wet season from May to October, but be prepared for some potentially wet days.

The Best Times To Visit the Maldives for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

The Maldives is a great location for scuba diving and snorkeling. While these are year-round activities, the water tends to be calmer, making the visibility better, from January through April . However, some wildlife, like manta rays and whale sharks, make more frequent appearances during the wet season.

Water temperatures are nice and warm throughout the year, ranging from about 80 to 86 degrees. The warmest water temperatures in the Maldives occur between March and June.

Hot Tip: Even in warm water like you’ll find in the Maldives, it’s always a good idea to wear a wetsuit if you plan to scuba dive. Make sure to check out our guide to the best snorkels, masks, fins, and snorkel sets if you prefer to travel with your own gear.

The Best Times To Visit The Maldives To See Bioluminescence

Did you know that bioluminescent plankton can make the nighttime sea glow in the Maldives? This phenomenon occurs when these microorganisms emit a blue light underwater. This beautiful display is actually thought to be a defense mechanism. Whatever it is, count yourself lucky if you get to witness it.

While it’s hard to predict when bioluminescence will be visible in the Maldives, your best chances of seeing it are between June and November when the skies are darkest and there is the largest amount of plankton in the sea. The hotspot to see bioluminescence in the Maldives is the “Sea of Stars” on Vaadhoo Island in Raa Atoll.

The Best Times To Visit The Maldives for Surfing

The best time for surfing in the Maldives is from February through November . While many tourists want to avoid the wet season from May to October in the Maldives, it’s actually a popular time to visit among surfers since the waves and swells can be bigger during this time.

The Best Times To Visit The Maldives for a Honeymoon

If you’re lucky enough to be planning your honeymoon in the Maldives, you’ll want to put some thought into when you’ll be visiting. For the best weather, shoot for a trip between January and April. February and March are the months that tend to be the driest. However, if you are trying to save some money, consider visiting during the wet season from May to October. While you may have some rainy days, resort prices will be cheaper. And relaxing in an overwater bungalow with your new spouse during a tropical rainstorm can be a romantic way to spend the afternoon!

The Cheapest Time To Go to The Maldives

Let’s be clear — it’s never really “cheap” to go to the Maldives. However, you can save a little money by visiting during the wet season from May to October.

According to Google Travel, hotels are the most expensive in December and January, so avoid those months if you’re trying to save money. April through October will have the lowest hotel prices of the year .

Another great way to save money on your trip to the Maldives is to use points and miles for your hotel and flights .

The Maldives is a tropical destination at the center of many travelers’ vacation dreams. It’s exotic, remote, and picture-perfect. However, there are things to consider when planning a trip to the Maldives, like the different seasons and the high prices.

The best time to visit the Maldives depends on what you’re looking for and what your budget is. For the best weather, visit during the dry season from November to April. If you want to save some money, aim for the wet season from May to October.

Made up of nearly 1,200 coral islands strung north to south in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is one of the most popular beach destinations on the planet. Known for world-class diving, miles of empty white-sand beaches, and resorts oozing with luxury, the Maldives isn’t always the most budget-friendly destination (though bargains can be found). But if you’re looking for mind-blowing sunsets, sugary sand, and the most turquoise water you’ve ever seen, break out your credit card and book a flight. Read on for our complete Maldives visitor’s guide, and learn the best places to stay, eat, dive, and explore in this spectacular tropical locale.

Planning Your Trip

Best Time To Visit: In true tropical island style, temperatures in the Maldives average 83 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) year-round, and there are only two main seasons; dry and wet. The dry season comes in fall and winter, from November through April, with temperatures ranging from 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) to 89 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). The low, monsoon season runs from May through October, with the wettest month usually falling in June. Temperatures in the rainy season range from 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) to 87 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius).

Getting Around: As an island nation spread across hundreds of miles of the ocean, it’s only natural that boats are the country’s transport mainstay, so prepare your sea legs (or Dramamine). For those staying near the capital or attempting a more budget holiday, ferries are offered between some of the more populated islands in the Malé Atoll capital area. Speedboat taxis can be hired for short-distance island hopping, and private resort speedboats whisk guests away to properties in the immediate vicinity. For resorts set in distant atolls, further transport will be via seaplane or a domestic flight to one of the more far-flung airports followed by speedboat transfer to the resort.

Travel Tip: Many visitors to the Maldives must travel by seaplane to reach their final destination, so it’s important to note that seaplanes only operate during daylight hours. If your flight arrives after dark, consider staying at a nearby hotel on either Hulhulé Island or in nearby Malé city.

Things to Do

This is a country surrounded by water, water, and more water, so it's only natural that water sports have emerged as the leading activity in the Maldives. Landlubbers can bask in the sun on deserted sandbanks, or perhaps spend the day in one of the dozens of spas dotted at upmarket resorts throughout the nation.

• Diving: Some of the world's best diving can be found in the Maldives' coral atolls. Spot whale sharks and manta rays from May through November in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, or dive deep with octopi and reef sharks to explore some of the area's famed shipwrecks.
• Water sports: Snorkeling, stand-up paddle, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, and every other water sport imaginable are available year-round. Most resorts include access to non-motorized water sports equipment, and the larger populated islands generally have water sports rental facilities.
• Spa experiences: The Maldives is home to some of the most indulgent hotel spas in the world. These havens of tranquility offer everything from Thai massages set in overwater villas, to underwater treatment rooms, to complete detox, rejuvenation, or restoration packages. Most resorts have a spa on the property, so it's only a matter of choosing which will best suit your budget and relaxation desires.
• Nothing: Perhaps the ultimate activity of all in the Maldives is doing absolutely nothing. This definition of "nothing" means laying on a sun lounger on one of the country's best beaches , staring into the sea-green distance while sipping ice-cold coconut water and reading a novel.

What to Eat and Drink

Maldivian cuisine borrows mainly from India and Sri Lanka, which both highlight hot, spicy flavors. But in the Maldives, what you’ll eat largely depends on where you stay. High-end resorts offer a variety of a la carte local and international fare in a host of luxurious settings, including in overwater and underwater restaurants .

Budget resorts are more likely to provide buffet meals with both Western and Asian options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also small local eateries and cafes on many of the inhabited islands, purveying specialties such as fish cakes, soups, and curries.

Alcohol is prohibited in the Maldives (except for tourists at licensed hotels and resorts), so don’t expect to wash down your curry with a beer in any of the local establishments. Many of the more upmarket resorts, however, have full bars, and even wine cellars with hundreds of vintages to choose from.

Where to Stay

If visitors stay in the city of Malé, it’s rarely for more than one night, as there’s not much going on in the capital other than commerce, a few restaurants, and a museum or two. Most visitors stay in one of the dozens of resorts, which are often set on private islands in one of the country’s myriad coral atolls.

Accommodations vary widely in the Maldives, from rustic local guesthouses to some of the world’s most expensive resorts. If you’re on a budget, there are a handful of guesthouses and small hotels in many of the inhabited islands, such as in the North Malé Atoll or Ari Atoll.

There are also a variety of all-inclusive resorts, which range widely in quality. Check out Adaaran Prestige Vadoo , which is only 20 minutes by speedboat from the airport and has overwater villas with private pools, or the chic design and five restaurants at LUX* South Ari Atoll .

The Maldives’ lineup of five-star resorts are the stuff holiday dreams are made of. Postcard-perfect beaches, overwater villas, serene spas, and private butlers are only a taste of what to expect should you choose to splurge. Some of the most popular (and expensive) options include chains such as the Four Seasons , St. Regis , and the Six Senses , plus properties like Soneva Jani , which features massive overwater villas with private pools and waterslides, or Huvafen Fushi Maldives which has the world’s first and only underwater spa.

Getting There

The gateway to the Maldives is Velana International Airport (MLE), formerly Malé International Airport, which is set on an island adjacent to the capital city of Malé. Upon arrival, the best transport mode depends on where you’re staying. A bridge connects the airport (on Hulhulé Island) to adjacent Malé city, or there are taxis, speedboat taxis, and regularly scheduled (though not always on time) ferries.

The Maldives’ seafaring past and Indian Ocean location means the remote country has been heavily influenced by its closest neighbors, India and Sri Lanka, as well as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Africa. Many visitors will only see the surroundings of their chosen resort, but the Maldives possesses cultural treasures on the local islands and in Malé that are also worth exploring.

• One of the oldest mosques in the Maldives is the Malé Hukuru Miskiy, or Old Friday Mosque, which was built from ornately carved coral in 1658. The mosque is set on Hulhulé Island, an easy taxi ride from the airport.
• The Maldives National Museum in Malé is a compact yet illuminating repository for the country’s prized artifacts. Displays range from ancient to modern times and contain everything from religious carvings to whale skeletons to lacquered wood boxes handmade by Maldivian craftspeople.
• Across Sultan Park from The Maldives National Museum is The National Art Gallery. Established in 1999, this relatively new museum houses collections of Maldivian art from both past and present.

Money-Saving Tips

• May through October is monsoon season in much of Southeast Asia, and the Maldives is no exception. Although summer can sometimes bring heavy rainfall and severe storms, most often there are only afternoon showers, and risking a visit during these monsoon months (particularly June, considered the wettest month) means deep discounts compared to visiting the country during the peak season.
• Since alcohol is heavily taxed and marked-up in the Maldives, a drinks bill at the end of your trip can pose a hefty surprise. To keep the holiday stress-free and the umbrella drinks coming, consider choosing an all-inclusive package if you plan to indulge in adult libations during your stay.

Whether you want to stay in a romantic overwater bungalow, go on thrilling water adventures, or spend relaxing days on the beach, this complete guide will help you make the most of your next trip if you plan to visit the Maldives in April!

Is April a good time to go to the Maldives?

April is an excellent time to visit the Maldives, marking the transition from the dry northeast monsoon to the southwest monsoon. The clear skies and calm seas create ideal conditions for snorkelling, diving, and exploring the vibrant coral reefs. 

This month is also a sweet spot between the peak tourist season and the onset of the monsoon, ensuring a more tranquil experience. While the Maldives in late April can get slightly more rainy than at the beginning of the month, this is still a great time to visit. 

What to Expect from the Weather in the Maldives in April 2025

The Maldives temperature in April is ideal for sun-soaked escapades and water activities, with nine hours of sunshine per day with very little cloud cover. The daytime temperatures can reach 32°C, while nighttime temperatures are usually around 27°C. Not to mention, the sea temperatures can reach 30°C, so this is the perfect time for swimming!

While the Maldives gets around 190 mm of rain in April, these storms are usually short, so they clear up quickly. 

• Temperature: 27°C to 32°C
• Average Rainfall: 190 mm

What to Wear for the Weather in the Maldives in April 2025

Because the Maldives weather in April is hot, opt for breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to stay cool. The main attraction here is the water, so definitely bring your swimsuit. Don’t forget sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and high SPF sunscreen to shield against the intense UV rays. 

For romantic evenings, pack resort-chic attire and include comfortable footwear for strolls on sandy beaches. It’s also wise to bring an umbrella or rain jacket for pop-up thunderstorms. 

Visitor Arrivals: Are the Maldives Crowded During April?

November and April are considered the shoulder seasons in the Maldives, so it’s a great time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds. While the Maldives is not entirely devoid of visitors in April, this month is definitely a quieter period compared to the winter months. Resorts and attractions are generally more accessible and affordable, so you can enjoy the pristine beauty of the islands without hoards of visitors.

Average Costs of a Trip to the Maldives in April

In April, the average cost of a trip to the Maldives will depend on your preferences and activities. With a mid-range budget, you can generally expect to pay around £200 to £400 per day.

Generally, meals at local eateries cost approximately £10 to £20 per person, while dining at resort restaurants can range from £30 to £100 per person. Excursion costs for activities like snorkelling, diving, or island tours can vary, ranging from £50 to £200 per person. 

• Airfare: Round-trip tickets from major international hubs typically range from £500 to £1500 per person, depending on the airline and booking time.
• Hotels and Resorts Prices: The average cost of accommodation in the Maldives can range from £100 to £500 per night for mid-range options, while luxury resorts may go upwards of £1000 per night. You can find budget-friendly guesthouses on local islands for around £50 to £150 per night. 
• Transfers: Speedboat transfers from the airport to nearby islands or resorts typically range from £100 to £200 per person.

Things to Do in the Maldives in April

There are plenty of things to do in the Maldives in April! Explore vibrant coral reefs with world-class snorkelling and diving, where you can encounter an array of marine life in the crystal-clear waters. 

Embark on romantic sunset cruises or indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments at luxurious overwater spas. April also marks the beginning of manta ray season, offering a unique opportunity to witness these creatures in their natural habitat. You can also enjoy some island hopping to experience the local culture and to shop for traditional Maldivian crafts.

Maldives Islands to Visit in April 2025

The Maldives is nothing short of an island paradise, with over 1,100 islands to choose from! Start with Maafushi, which boasts incredible beaches and fantastic resort options. Head to Thulusdhoo for an atmosphere that feels a little more off the beaten path. 

Fulidhoo, a tranquil island, offers serene beaches and a glimpse into Maldivian village life. For underwater enthusiasts, Ukulhas has thriving coral reefs and abundant marine biodiversity. Plus, it’s considered one of the area’s most tourist-friendly islands. 

Dhigurah, known for its long sandy stretches and personalized island retreats, is fantastic for visitors who want to connect with nature. Of course, you can’t go wrong with Male, one of the most popular islands in the Maldives.

Best Maldivian foods to try in April

Maldivian cuisine is all about fresh seafood, local ingredients, and flavorful spices. Mas huni is a must-try – this traditional breakfast dish is made with tuna, coconut, onion, and chilli, best enjoyed with flatbread. 

Garudhiya, a fish soup, is another popular choice, made with rice, lime, chilli, and onions. You can also try Fihunu Mas, a whole grilled fish seasoned to perfection. If you’d rather take a break from all that seafood, sample some kukulhu riha, a braised chicken in a delicious coconut sauce. For dessert, order handulu bondibai, a sweet and sticky rice pudding.

Maldives in April Travel Tips to Remember

• Bring USD: Although the official currency of the Maldives is the Maldivian Rufiyaa, most prices are in USD, which is accepted almost everywhere – unless you’re on the local islands. If you want some of the local currency, get it before leaving the airport, as ATMs are hard to come by in some of the more local destinations. 
• Bring fins for snorkelling: Many resorts charge rental fees for snorkelling gear, so bring your own equipment if you can!
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen: Sunscreen is expensive in the Maldives, so be sure to bring a few bottles of your own! Investing a few extra dollars in reef-safe sun protection can help the environment immensely during your trip.
• Practice modesty: While you can wear a bikini at the resorts, the local islands expect you to wear modest clothing. This is a Muslim country, so be respectful by dressing appropriately.
• Do not bring alcohol with you: You could be fined by customs if you bring alcohol into the Maldives. The only place where alcohol is allowed is in private resorts – but don’t worry, there’s no shortage of beverages at the all-inclusive resorts!

The Best Time to Visit the Maldives

These are the best times to visit the Maldives for great weather, fun activities, and more.

A tropical paradise in the northern Indian Ocean, the Maldives offers soft, white sands, bright blue waters, and a perfect place to unplug and truly relax in a luxurious setting. The archipelago gets more popular every year, so if you want to snag one of its famous overwater bungalows for yourself, you'll want to have an idea of the best and worst times to go. As a general rule of thumb, remember that the islands' high season runs from November to April, while low season lasts from May to October.

Whether you're looking for ideal weather, fewer crowds, or the perfect diving conditions, here are the very best times to visit the Maldives.

Best Times to Visit the Maldives for Smaller Crowds

Since the Maldives consists of nearly 1,200 islands spread across 35,000 square miles, you can usually expect desert-island solitude here no matter when you visit. Popular resorts and dive sites can fill up in the high season, but outside the bustling capital city of Malé, truly large crowds are fairly rare.

That said, if you want the best chance of having an island (almost) to yourself, you might want to visit between May and October. This touristic low period coincides with the island's rainy season — so, while a trip at this time might mean less-than-perfect weather, it also means maximum seclusion. This is especially true in May and June, which typically see fewer visitors than any other months.

Best Times to Visit the Maldives for Good Weather

The Maldives offers tropical warmth throughout the year, so it may seem hard to call any one season better than the others. To understand the climate here, though, remember that the usual four seasons — spring, summer, fall, and winter — aren't as important as the archipelago's big two: dry season and wet season.

The dry season, between November and April, offers Maldivian weather at its best. Temperatures are almost always in the 80s, perfect for days spent relaxing on a beach, and rainfall is scant, particularly from January through March. Humidity can be expected in this season (and throughout the year), but otherwise, conditions should be ideal for a sunny seaside trip. Just remember that this pleasant weather does make dry season the most popular — and, therefore, expensive — time of year.

The wet season, meanwhile, runs from May to October, and its name is no joke — some islands can experience up to nine inches of rain per month at this time of year. While short afternoon storms are very common during wet season, back-to-back days of pure sunshine aren't unheard of. Because of this variability, rainy-season visitors should simply be flexible and ready to adjust plans on the fly in the event of inclement weather.

Most Affordable Times to Visit the Maldives

Yes, even a visit to the Maldives can be affordable if you know how to plan. Since most travelers visit during the dry season, the rainy season from May to October is the best time to save. At this time of year, airfare is less expensive, package deals are more common, and even those beloved bungalows (while still pricey) see significant markdowns in price. Booking in advance can also help reduce costs.

Even outside of the low season, though, some general tips can help you snag a Maldives vacation on a budget . When it comes to flights, try getting more creative than booking your local airline's most straightforward route. Low-cost carriers in Asia and even Europe offer bargain prices on flights to the Maldives, so flying to an international hub first and then hopping on a budget flight to Malé can net big savings. To save money on accommodations, try staying at an Airbnb or a locally run guesthouse instead of a traditional high-end resort. You might miss out on some luxury touches, but you'll still get to enjoy the islands' gorgeous beaches and stunning sea life for a fraction of the cost.

Best Times to Visit the Maldives for Diving and Water Sports

In addition to wet and dry seasons, there are also seasons in the Maldives when different water sports are most popular. There's no shortage of activities to enjoy here in or on the water, from surfing to boating to scuba diving, but the best time of year for one won't necessarily be the best time for all.

If you're interested in an action- and adventure-packed surfing trip, you'll want to plan your visit for a time with choppier waters and bigger waves. The May-to-October wet season is best for this, but February through April can also see good swells if you'd rather travel without the risk of rain. For snorkeling and kayaking, the opposite rules apply. The best time for these slower activities is December and January, when waters are calm.

Diving, though, is the true king of Maldivian water sports. The archipelago is famous for its hundreds of dive sites, from colorful coral reefs to offshore shipwrecks. Whether you want to try a beginner-friendly spot like the UNESCO-recognized Baa Atoll or a more advanced environment like the shark-filled Fuvahmulah Atoll, you'll want to schedule your trip for a time with good underwater visibility to make the most of the country's world-renowned diving . For the best conditions, try visiting between January and April.

Best Times to Visit the Maldives for Bioluminescence

You can also see bioluminescent plankton while in the Maldives. These naturally glowing organisms make nighttime on the islands particularly magical when they light up the archipelago's beautiful beaches . Bioluminescence is typically most common during the rainy season, since that's when the most plankton are around — but this phenomenon is more tied to environmental factors like water temperature and salinity than to a particular time of year. (In 2022, for instance, holiday visitors got a special treat when the islands lit up with plankton around Christmas and New Year's.) For the best views of bioluminescence, aim not for a time but for a place: Vaadhoo Island, home to the world-famous "glowing beach."

Worst Times to Visit the Maldives

Some visitors attest that August is the worst time to visit since it's smack-dab in the middle of the wet season. However, October is generally the rainiest month, so avoiding either of these times might be best for your trip. While those little bungalows can be luxurious, it would probably put a damper on your island vacation if you never got to leave the room.

If you're on a budget, though, the popular dry season may be the worst time for you to visit. While a trip to the Maldives is almost always pricey, costs are highest in the peak months of November to April — making the rest of the year a better bet if you're in search of good deals.

From sunset cruises to local island visits and desert-island picnics, there are lots of activities that you can arrange once you’ve arrived at your chosen island.

Diving in the Maldives

These idyllic coral islands rank amongst the best dive destinations in the world. When conditions are good, the underwater visibility is at the highest level – sometimes exceeding 50 metres – and the warm water temperatures year-round make diving in the Maldives a pleasure. The North Malé Atoll is home to the Lion’s Head and Wattaru Kandu dive sites, both of which are frequented by reef sharks. Wattaru Kandu is also home to stingrays and garden eels whilst Lankanfinokhu, or Manta Point as it’s known locally, is a great place to see manta rays being cleaned by local colonies of cleaner fish.

In the South Malé Atoll, Hukrueli is another place to see rays and cleaner fish, and Maaya Thila, a protected marine area, is home to white-tip sharks, turtles, zebra morays and the elusive guitar shark. Hanifaru lagoon in the Baa Atoll is one of the best places to see whale sharks and manta rays – June to September being the best time as this is during the monsoon season and equinox when the lagoon is filled with plankton.

The Scuba Diver course provides pre-entry level certification in three days and on completion you can then upgrade to an Open Water Diver qualification by taking the additional five day course. Our Ten Dives and Six Consecutive Days diving allow qualified divers to make the most of their time in these beautiful islands. Courses are available at Kurumba Maldives, Dhigali Maldives, Velidhu and Meeru.

Best time to visit Maldives

Temperatures in the Maldives stay at a wonderfully warm 25-30°Cyear-round and only drop a few degrees at night. There’s an average of 8 hours of sunshine every day and the water temperature barely falls below 25°C. There are distinct wet (south-west monsoon) and dry (north-east monsoon) seasons; peak season for the Maldives is between December and April when the climate is drier, it’s less windy and the weather is hotter. Most travellers see this as the best time to go, but there are other factors to consider when choosing the time of year to travel here – like when to see specific marine life and when you’ll find the best value offers. Each island in the archipelago has its own microclimate, but there are general patterns that occur throughout the year.

Maldives Weather

Maldives weather by month.

The Maldives in January The Maldives’ weather in January is hot, with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. There may be some rain, but at this time of year it passes very quickly. It’s a great month to visit the Maldives and booking in advance is advised. There’s also great visibility for diving and snorkelling.

The Maldives in February February is an excellent time to travel to the Maldives. It’s the Maldives’ driest month, with less than 70mm of monthly rainfall, average maximum temperatures of 30°C and around 10 hours of sunshine each day. Visibility for diving and snorkelling is excellent.

The Maldives in March In March, temperatures in the Maldives rise to an average maximum of 31°C – great for long days on the beach. Possible short bursts of rain offer relief from the hot temperatures. Visibility for diving and snorkelling is excellent and March also sees the start of the surfing season in the Maldives.

The Maldives in April April is another wonderfully hot month in the Maldives. This is the end of the Maldives’ official dry season and there are often showers mid-month. It’s also a little more humid. Water visibility for diving and snorkelling is still very good.

The Maldives in May May is hot, with average maximum temperatures of 31°C, but is the start of the Maldives’ official wet season and comes with risks of storms and possible whole days of rain. Diving visibility is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water.

The Maldives in June June is another month in the Maldives with a high chance of rainfall. It’s a good time to take advantage of the best value offers if you’re willing to spend as much time enjoying your resort’s facilities as on the beach. Diving visibility is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water, however there’s a huge advantage for divers as manta rays and whale sharks come to feed on the plankton.

The Maldives in July The Maldives’ weather in July is hot and humid, with short heavy downpours. This is another time to check for great value offers and is particularly good for surfers. Water visibility for diving is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water, but the big draw underwater is the presence of manta rays and whale sharks. 26July is Independence Day and you may see small parades and public celebrations on resort islands.

The Maldives in August August in the Maldives is hot and humid, with an average 7 hours of sunshine each day and short heavy downpours. Diving visibility is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water, but enticing offers mean this is still a popular time to visit.

The Maldives in September September is one of the Maldives’ wettest months. It sees average maximum temperatures of 30°C, and there’s still an average 7 hours of sunshine each day. Diving visibility is slightly reduced due to the plankton in the water, but there are great opportunities to spot whale sharks and manta rays feeding on the plankton.

The Maldives in October October is the Maldives’ wettest month, with high humidity and with possible whole days of rain. It’s a good time to take advantage of the best value offers if you’re willing to spend as much time enjoying your resort’s facilities as on the beach. October is the last month of the Maldives’ surfing season and the last month of the year for good sightings of whale sharks and manta rays.

The Maldives in November In November, temperatures in the Maldives are an average maximum of 30°C. The official wet season is finishing and although there are showers, the rain passes quickly.

The Maldives in December The climate for the Maldives in December is largely hot and dry, though mid-month showers are likely. It’s an excellent choice for some winter sun. Christmas and New Year are particularly popular and may include minimum stays.

A note on Ramadam The exact date of the holy month of Ramadan (known as Ramazan in the Maldives) changes each year. Guests visiting Maldives’ resorts during the holy month are unlikely to notice anything different to any other month – meals and alcohol are served as usual. If you’re visiting a local island, there will be some restrictions that you’ll understandably be asked to respect.

Weather in The Maldives in April - Rainfall and Temperatures

Why visit the maldives in april.

April is an incredible time to visit the Maldives, with beautiful weather and many attractions and activities.

• Superb Underwater Visibility: Crystal-clear waters and excellent visibility make April an ideal time for diving and snorkeling. Algae blooms, which can cause the water to appear green or cloudy, are less common in April as the water temperatures are still relatively cooler, reducing the likelihood of significant algae growth and maintaining clearer water. While there are many islands that provide excellent snorkeling and diving experiences, some of the top spots for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts in the Maldives include the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, South Ari Atoll, Felidhoo Atoll, Fotteyo Kandu and Addu Atoll.
• Manta Ray and Whale Shark Encounters: April marks the peak season for manta rays and whale shark sightings in the Maldives. These filter feeders follow their food sources, and the prevailing winds also affect their movement. Although manta rays and whale sharks can be spotted in the Maldives all year round, during the peak season of April the wind blows from the northeast, making Raa Atoll, South Male Atoll, Farikede Faru and Addu Atoll the best places to go to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The opportunity to swim with manta rays and whale sharks is often considered a rare and exceptional experience. Seize this chance while you visit the Maldives to appreciate the wonders of the marine world and create cherished memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
• Festivals and Events: The Maldives celebrates Ramadan starting from the end of March and extending throughout April. The country comes alive during this holy month with an atmosphere of devotion and togetherness. Ramadan in the Maldives offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted traditions and values of the Maldivian people paired with lively cultural performances and music. Head to Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa for a range of events throughout April, from full moon BBQ buffet dinners and retro DJ parties to live rock ‘n roll music concerts and Easter Sunday special cocktails & mocktails. 

Where to go and what to do

The glorious weather in April calls for getting out and exploring this diverse and unique country. From soaking up the culture in the capital of Malé to surfing world-class breaks in the North Malé Atoll, you’ll find an array of exciting things to do in the Maldives in April.

Start your adventure by exploring the capital city of Malé. April’s glorious weather is perfect for wandering around the bustling city. Visit the iconic Grand Friday Mosque and marvel at its stunning architecture. Discover the Maldives National Museum, which houses an impressive collection of historical artifacts. Don't miss out on strolling through the local markets, where you can immerse yourself in the Maldivian culture's vibrant colors, aromas, and flavors.

The Maldives is a paradise, not only for its spectacular beaches and crystal-clear waters but also for world-class surf! Due to glassy waters and consistent swell, April is considered one of the best times to surf the Maldives. Head to the North Malé Atoll for world-class surf breaks suitable for different skill levels, like Jailbreaks, Honky's, and Chickens. Thaa Atoll is a hidden gem if you want a less crowded and secluded experience. Breaks like Finnimas and Mikados offer consistent waves in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Test your skills at the famous right-hand Beacons break off Huvadhoo Atoll.

The Maldives is also renowned for its luxurious resorts, and April is an excellent time to treat yourself to a pampering getaway. Indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, unwind in private overwater villas, and savor delectable cuisine from world-class chefs. Take advantage of the pristine beaches and turquoise lagoons for ultimate relaxation. 

What to bring

When packing for your trip, opt for lightweight and loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen, swimwear, and sarongs for beach days. Protect yourself from the tropical sun with a wide-brimmed hat and reef-safe sunscreen. Pack biodegradable toiletries to minimize your impact on the delicate marine ecosystem if you're environmentally conscious. And don’t forget to pack your own swimwear and snorkeling gear if you have one so you don’t get charged extra.

April is a fantastic time to visit the Maldives and embark on an unforgettable tropical adventure. With its delightful weather, abundant sunshine, and warm temperatures, the Maldives offers the perfect climate for enjoying the pristine beaches, exploring the underwater wonders, and indulging in exciting activities. Whether you're a thrill-seeker looking to catch some waves or simply seeking a tranquil beach getaway, the Maldives in April offers something for everyone.

Best Time to Visit the Maldives: Month by Month Breakdown

The Maldives is renowned for its spectacular diving, serene white sand beaches, and paradisiacal island idylls, but knowing the best time to visit Maldives can really affect the experience you’ll have in this unique island nation. 

Broadly speaking, the Maldives has two distinct seasons – a wet season and a dry season. The Maldives also has two distinct tourist seasons; peak season coincides with the dry season and low season with the wet season. 

Throughout the year, there are other considerations to take into account, such as the manta ray season, the best time for diving, or when you can get the cheapest deals for your honeymoon!

In this article, we take a look at the best time to visit Maldives.

Table of Contents

Dry Season in the Maldives

The Maldives has an incredibly tropical climate, which means that while there’s a wet and dry season, temperatures remain fairly constant throughout the year.

Even in ‘winter,’ temperatures average around 30 degrees Celsius. 

The dry season is from November to April, and the peak of tourist season will often run from December through to March. Prices are higher in the dry season, and availability is lower, but the weather will be perfect.

If you’re scuba diving, the water is perfectly clear through the dry season.  

Find great flight deals to the Maldives: Priceline or Skyscanner

November in the Maldives

November is the start of dry season, but it can be the best time to visit Maldives if you’re looking for bargains. The peak tourist season has yet to begin, but there’s little chance of rain, and plenty of deals to draw in the travelers!

You might be able to catch the last whale sharks around the Maldives before they start heading elsewhere in search of food. The manta rays are still in town, too.

Diving coral reefs still isn’t great, because the water has yet to clear up, but it’s definitely much better than previous months. 

Resorts we love in the Maldives:

• Milaidhoo Island Maldives  
• AYADA Maldives  
• Baros Maldives  

December in the Maldives

In December, you can expect the tourist season to begin in earnest as the countdown to Christmas holidays begins.

While the Maldives is a Muslim nation, a majority of their visitors are often from Western countries, and they make use of their Christmas holidays to visit. 

The weather is lovely in December. The rains are over, and there are bright skies and sunshine almost every day of the week. Take some time off, book into a luxury resort, and enjoy the beautiful weather. 

Prices are definitely on the high side through December, and you’ll need to book your flights and hotels in advance, as the best resorts can often sell out over the holiday period.   

These are our recommended cruise options in for a Maldives trip:

• Maldives Dhoni Explorer 7 days, Male to Male
• Maldives Island Hopping 8 days, Hulhumale to Hulhumale

January in the Maldives

Prices remain exceptionally high as we enter the New Year; this is not the best time to visit Maldives if you’re looking for a bargain! 

Tourist numbers are high, but the Maldives is never a destination that’s packed. Hotels, islands, and resorts all focus on sustainability, so even in peak season, you’ll never feel too overwhelmed. 

This can be a great place to spend the New Year if you’re not on a budget and you’re looking for solitude or a romantic getaway with your partner.

Book out a private retreat and see the New Year in as you overlook the spectacular climes of the Indian Ocean from the comfort of an Overwater Bungalow!

If you are going to base yourself in Male, check out these top tours:

• Half-Day Walking Tour of Malé
• Snorkeling Safari 
• Private Half-Day Local Experience of Malé
• Island Day Trip from Hulhumale
• 2-Hour Maldives Submarine Tour From Male

February in the Maldives

February can often be the driest month of the year, but you won’t have as high a price to pay for your hotels and flights as you would over December and January!

It’s a wonderful time to be here, with warm weather, clear skies, and zero chance of rain. You can enjoy super-clear diving and snorkeling in the Indian Ocean’s calm waters, and there is plenty of marine life around to keep you enthralled!

The top scuba diving resorts in the Maldives :

• One & Only Reethi Rah
• Soneva Fushi
• Kuredu Island Resort & Spa

March in the Maldives

March can be the best time to visit Maldives too because the weather is excellent. It’s lovely and warm, wonderfully clear, and perfectly dry!

You can lounge on white-sand beaches, snorkel among the coral reefs, or simply relax, unwind, and enjoy the famously good service at luxury resorts across the Maldives. 

Maafushi Island is one of the best islands in the Maldives. Top places to stay on Maafushi Island, All are under $100 USD!

• Kaani Beach Hotel  
• Kaani Grand Seaview  
• Kaani Village & Spa  

April in the Maldives

April is the last month of dry season, and it’s a great time to visit the Maldives. The weather is warm, and the skies are still clear, although you might have the odd rain shower towards the end of April.

Enjoy some excellent diving before the water starts to get murkier when the rains arrive, and explore the best white sand beaches in the Maldives and glorious island living that the islands are so loved for. 

The top surf resorts in the Maldives :

• Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort – Lohis
• The Perfect Wave Cokes Surf Camp 
• Six Senses – Laamu Atoll 

Wet Season in the Maldives

The wet season runs from May through to October. This is the low season when it comes to tourist numbers. The Maldives gets hit by monsoon-like weather throughout the wet season, but actual conditions can vary. 

You can risk the rain and get a really fantastic deal on luxury accommodations and cheap flights. It’s worth the risk for the savings, in our opinion, as there’s always plenty of time to relax in your luxury hotel!

While Scuba diving isn’t necessarily good for visibility, the vast amounts of plankton and algae in the water attract some pretty incredible creatures.

The wet season is the best time to visit the Maldives if you’re looking to swim with whale sharks or giant manta rays, as they are here to feed!

The best overwater bungalows in the Maldives are found either at the  Park Hyatt Maldives , or the  Four Seasons Maldives .

May in the Maldives

May is the start of the rainy season, but the reality is that you’d be pretty unlucky to get caught in a monsoon deluge straight away!

May is more of a transition month; you can still expect to see lots of sunshine and dry weather, mixed in with the odd thunderstorm and rain shower.

The water definitely starts to get choppier, but experienced divers will still have a great time enjoying the dive sites, as the water is still exceptionally clear. 

You can start to pick up a few good deals in May, so it’s an excellent time for anyone looking for a cheaper holiday.

Thinadhoo Island is another top island in the Maldives. Top places to stay on Thinadhoo Island:

• Plumeria Maldives
• Casa Barabaru
• Hudhu Raakani Lodge

June in the Maldives

In June, the weather starts to take a turn for the worse, but it’s not all rain and monsoons.

The weather is wonderfully warm, but still not too humid; you will have a few days of sunshine and clear skies if you booked a getaway in June.

It’s a good time for a deal as hotels and resorts try to draw in tourists. Even if it does rain, you can simply enjoy the luxury facilities at your resort.

Relax with a massage, enjoy a few cocktails, or make the most of the wind and choppy seas for some action-packed water sports. 

The best adults only resorts in the Maldives:

• Komandoo Maldives Island Resort
• Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives

July  in the Maldives

In July, the weather gets worse. This isn’t the best time to visit Maldives if it’s clear skies and sparkling sunshine that you’re looking for. 

Expect heavy thunderstorms and lots of rain. Scuba diving is challenging because of the rough seas and lack of visibility, but you will be able to spot whale sharks and manta rays as they start to appear to feed on the ever-growing mass of plankton in the waters. 

Prices are reasonable in July, and 26th July is Independence Day; you can participate in nation-wide festivities and cultural events!

The best family-friendly resorts in the Maldives:

• Constance Moofushi Maldives
• Amari Havodda Maldives
• Lily Beach Resort and Spa

August in the Maldives

August sees a bit of a respite from the rain and the monsoon, although the weather can still be quite rough.

As it’s the school holidays in many parts of the world, tourist numbers start to pick up in August, so prices can begin to climb, despite this being the rainy season. 

Unless you can only travel in August, though, there’s no real benefit to visiting the Maldives right now. You’re better off waiting for the drier weather or scoring a few bargains in earlier months of the wet season. 

The best honeymoon resorts in the Maldives:

• Baros Maldives
• Six Senses Laamu
• Hurawalhi Island Resort

September  in the Maldives

September can be the rainiest month of the year, so it’s not the best time to visit Maldives if you prefer to stay dry!

It can be wet, windy, and monsoony all through the month. Resorts stay open, though, and you can get some great deals. It’s a really good time for surfing in the Maldives, because the waves can be enormous!

If you are just here to relax and unwind, there’s no reason not to visit in September. 

Enjoy the facilities at your resort, try some exceptional island-style dining, and enjoy the hot temperatures!

The best budget resorts in the Maldives:

• Paradise Island Resort & Spa
• Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives
• Bandos Maldives

October in the Maldives

The weather continues to get worse; October can be rainier than September. Don’t expect too many dry days, especially at the start of the month. 

If you can, aim to arrive towards the end of the month, when the weather starts to dry up quickly as the dry season approaches. 

This might be your last chance to see whale sharks and manta rays, as they tend to disappear at the end of October (at least in large numbers). You can also take advantage of the big waves to enjoy the fledgling surf scene in the Maldives. 

For many people, October can be a great time to visit to save money, as prices are often at their lowest. 

We spent 7 days sailing, scuba diving, and enjoying some of the best beaches in the Maldives on a liveaboard cruise on the Maldives Dhoni Explore.
