The holiday season in the Maldives is open all year round, because even in the "non-tourist" season on the islands it is never colder than +30 degrees, and, for example, the rainy season creates excellent opportunities for diving. As for the ideal time to visit the Maldives, this period is December -March.
Features of holidays in the Maldives by seasons
- Spring: The best month for a beach holiday is March (during this time the islands are sunny and dry). In April, although it rains, they will not interfere with a beach holiday, which cannot be said about May, when the ocean can be stormy.
- Summer: In summer, the islands are hot, but often tropical showers last 2-3 hours here at night and in the afternoon. But despite this, the water in the ocean is like fresh milk.
- Autumn: In September, tropical rains still fall, but at this time there are no longer strong storms. In October-November, the rains become less intense and rare, and the daytime will delight you with calm and clear weather.
- Winter: In general, the weather is almost idyllic in winter for swimming and sunbathing.

Surfing and windsurfing
Specialized schools are open on almost all Maldivian beaches, but for surfing, it is advisable to give preference to the northern and southern atolls of Male.
The surf season kicks off in February when light winds blow on the islands, which is especially important for beginner surfers. As for experienced surfers, it is better for them to come here in May-August - at this time the southwest monsoon is raging in the Maldives, causing tropical storms.
The Maldives cannot boast of breathtaking architecture and notable historical monuments, but there are excellent conditions for lazy relaxation in the entourage of a tropical paradise.
