When to go to the Maldives
The dry season runs November to April — but knowing how prices move matters more.
The Maldives has two seasons: dry from November to April, wet from May to October. Even in the wet season the sun is out for most of the day — the rain arrives hard and leaves quickly.
The price difference is sharper than the weather difference: late December and early January are the most expensive weeks of the year. The same villa can cost half as much in May. If your dates are flexible, tell us — finding that gap is our job.
