The Maldives is a year-round destination making it easy to plan your getaway. November to April is the peak season when the weather is at its best, though you should book in advance. The off-peak season from May to October does have rain, but it won’t be the whole day and you can still enjoy diverse adventures.


Home to 1000+ Islands



The Maldives has around 1,190 islands which can be found in 26 atolls. Interestingly, most of these islands are uninhabited; the remaining islands either have local inhabitants or a private resort. The chance to stay at such an island resort is not to be missed and offers a magical escape for families and couples alike.

Swim with Mantas & Whale Sharks



This destination is home to majestic manta rays and huge whale sharks and amongst the best things to do in Maldives is to swim amongst them! Those staying at a resort in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, can enjoy this experience at Hanifaru Bay when these marine species arrive here from May to November.

Travel by Sea or Air

Since the Maldives has so many islands, travel is either by sea or air. This includes getting to your private island resort. Properties closer to the international airport are generally reached by speedboat, while those further away by seaplane; the latter has the bonus of offering stunning aerial views of this tropical paradise!
