and the most luxurious overwater villas in the World. Amazing scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing help make the Maldives a unique and fantastic beach destination.
The Maldives are a perfect destination for honeymoons, anniversaries, or for those simply looking for a romantic getaway. Families are also well catered for, with many resorts offering great multi-bedroom villas that are located both on the beach and overwater. With great food, service, villas, and resort facilities, it’s no surprise that the Maldives is one of the most popular destinations for those seeking the ultimate beach vacation!
Weather in the Maldives is nice year-round. There are two main seasons, winter months tend to be drier (October through April) and summer months are typically a little more humid (May through September). When rain falls, it often falls for an hour or so in the afternoon or evening. Bad storms are uncommon in the Maldives making it a great year-round destination.
Peak season in the Maldives is from Christmas through New Year’s. Reservations do need to be made well in advance around peak season and
also around Easter. Rates are the least expensive from May through September.
Transfers to resorts in the Maldives are by seaplane, speedboat, or a combination of domestic flight and speedboat. Resorts closest tothe airport are accessed by speedboat operated 24-hours a day. Resorts outside of speedboat range are accessed via seaplane. Seaplanes only fly during daylight hours so if your international flight arrives after 5:00 PM you will need to overnight at an airport hotel before flying to your resort the following morning. Resorts located the furthest away are accessed via a domestic flight and then a speedboat ride. Domestic flights will operate late at night.
