Best Time to Visit the Maldives
The weather of Maldives is tropical and being an island, temperatures remain remarkably constant round the year, however, the traditional high season is when Europe shivers in winter from December to April, while the higher humidity and increased chances of rainfall during the May to November period result in the period being classified as the low season. The shoulder season of April and May is favoured by honeymooners and families due to the comparatively lower prices and the amazing weather conducive for comfortable sightseeing. The surfing season is designated to last from March to October, the traditional slow season. Hence, leading luxury resorts specially those located close to pristine sandy beaches such as Coco Island by COMO, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa and Meeru Island Resort keep operating at capacity almost throughout the year. As there is no specific season when one cannot visit the Maldives, those interested in booking luxury Maldives package deals, are advised to make their bookings at least a few months ahead to ensure the best prices and availability.
