Best Time to Visit Maldives

The best time to visit Maldives is from December to April. During these months, the weather is mostly sunny and dry. The ocean temperatures are warm and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters. The seas are generally calm, making it ideal for water sports and boat trips. The beaches are also at their best during this time, with white sand and clear waters providing picturesque scenes for sunbathing and relaxing. From May to November, the island experiences monsoon season with higher chances of rain, wind, and rougher seas, which can restrict water-based activities. In summary, visit Maldives between December and April for the perfect tropical experience.
