What Does Maldives Offer During Different Months?
With our experience we have determined that every month has something new to offer in Maldives, so why not give you a monthly comparison so you can figure out the best month yourself.
Maldives in January

You might also see some rain during this period, but it won’t last long. The weather is so tricky that you will find sunshine in no time.
This is also the peak time for tourists so flights and accommodation might seem expensive.
If you have taken a Maldives Holiday package in January, make sure that you plan way ahead and book accordingly.
It is also because January is the most ideal time for doing watersports.
One must pack loose-fitting clothes as you might feel uncomfortable if you cannot stand humid weather. Also, loose-fitted and flowy clothes make up for great photos at idyllic locations.
Maldives in February
February is the best time for a Maldives family tour as it is one of the driest months. You will have ample amount of time to visit beautiful locations as the sun shines bright for almost 10 hours straight.
This is the best time to indulge yourself in water sports. Snorkelling and Scuba Diving are the most loved watersports during this time.
Because the sun shines bright, it is advised that you take big hats and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun if you don’t like it.
