Best time to visit
Maldives has two seasons: dry (November to April) and wet (May to October). December to March is peak tourist season with higher flight prices. For better value, consider November, April or May. Travel before peak dates to lock in cheaper airfares.
What to do when you arrive
Velana International Airport (MLE) is in Malé and connects to resorts by speedboat or seaplane. Maldives is famous for white sand beaches, coral reefs and diving. Most visitors spend time in Malé then head to a resort in the atolls. Don't expect traditional tourist attractions: the appeal is marine nature and relaxation.
