Best Time to Visit Maldives: Weather & Price Guide

Maldives is a year-round destination, but your experience depends heavily on when you visit. Do you want crystal clear sunny skies, or do you want 50% off on water villas? Let's find out.

High Season (December to April)

Weather: Dry, Sunny, Low Humidity.

This is the best time for perfect beach days. The sea is calm, visibility is great for diving, and rain is rare. However, prices are at their peak, especially during Christmas and New Year.

Shoulder Season (May to August)

Weather: Warm with occasional rain.

This is the sweet spot. You might get a few showers, but they pass quickly. The prices drop significantly, making luxury water villas affordable for many couples.

Low Season (September to November)

Weather: Wettest months.

Expect frequent storms and cloudy skies. However, if you are a surfer, this is a great time as the waves are high.
