Best time to travel

What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Velana International Airport (MLE), Maldives' main hub. Most resorts and hotels arrange transfers by speedboat or seaplane from here. Maldives is renowned for world-class coral reefs, diving, and pristine beaches. If you stay on a local island (not a private resort), you'll have better access to local life, markets, and Maldivian cuisine.
