Maldives

The Maldives are the epitome of island paradise and the dream destination of pretty much everyone you ask – seriously, ask anyone around you right now if they’d want to visit the Maldives. 🙂

These pristine, beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean are a haven of natural beauty and one of those places that definitely lives up to the hype, as we got to discover recently.

Prior to planning our flights, I hadn’t really done much research into the Maldives (it was just one of those places I knew I wanted to go to) and shortly after planning, I soon realised how it was a lot trickier than I initially anticipated. There’s a lot more choice than I realized, so many things you should pack (and so many things you shouldn’t), local laws I had no clue about, and a whole range of activities

A tropical paradise in the northern Indian Ocean, the Maldives offers soft, white sands, bright blue waters, and a perfect place to unplug and truly relax in a luxurious setting. The archipelago gets more popular every year, so if you want to snag one of its famous overwater bungalows for yourself, you’ll want to have an idea of the best and worst times to go. As a general rule of thumb, remember that the islands’ high season runs from November to April, while low season lasts from May to October.

Whether you’re looking for ideal weather, fewer crowds, or the perfect diving conditions, here are the very best times to visit the Maldives.
