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.

Discover the real Maldives

When an area sprawls as much as the Maldives, a little help goes a long way. With only a handful of days to comb 1,200 islands, you’ll not want to waste time cast adrift on a barren sandbank. Or will you? Remember, insider tips are mere guidelines, not spoilers. Exploring is always encouraged.

More of the Indian Ocean

Few oceans can match the Indian Ocean for luxury escapes, exotic wildlife on land and sea and a climate most of us can only dream of. Experiences here invariably come served with a coconut-based cocktail – and life’s all the richer for it. But as tempting as a two-week jaunt spent entirely swinging in a hammock is, this is a place to explore, encounter and experience.
