Tropic Thunder?
Peak season in the Maldives runs January to April, when the islands are at their driest. Though one of the best times to visit the Maldives are November and December, when temperatures are still tropical and visitor numbers haven’t quite peaked. Rainy season starts in May and runs until November, expect storms.

Fine dining is in no danger of extinction here. Though, the local kiosks peddling Maldivian recipes? You’ll not read many rave reviews. Not because they are in any way lesser dining spots … but few will abandon their perfectly poached snapper to try them. Trust us on this. Being a pioneer never tasted so good.
