The Maldives has two clear seasons. November to April is the dry north-east monsoon — calm seas, clear skies, consistent sun, and the most reliable weather for an overwater honeymoon. May to October is the wetter south-west monsoon, with more cloud and short tropical squalls, but exceptional diving (whale sharks, manta rays at Hanifaru Bay) and rates 25–40% lower.
The best time to visit the Maldives is November to April — the dry season with calm seas, clear skies and consistent sun. May to October is the wet season (south-west monsoon), with more rain, better diving for whale sharks and mantas, and 25–40% lower rates.
