What's it like

In Maldives, right now.

Maldives overcast — 29°C, that soft tropical grey light that photographs beautifully. The water turns more turquoise than aqua. Excellent for spa days and watching reef sharks from the overwater bungalow.

Common questions

When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April (dry season): less rain, calmer seas, peak prices. May to October has more rain but better surfing and 30%+ lower prices.
How hot is the Maldives?
26-31°C year-round. Variation is minimal between seasons. Sea temperatures 27-29°C, always swimmable.
Are the Maldives safe in cyclone season?
Maldives sits below the main cyclone belt. The wet season (May-October) brings heavier rain and rougher seas but rarely true cyclones.
When can I see manta rays and whale sharks?
Year-round in certain spots, but best in May-November (wet season) on the western atolls when plankton concentrates them.
