A holiday in the Maldives is the dream for all lovers of sea and relaxation.

White beaches and transparent sea invite all travelers to leave all worries behind and spend a holiday full of all the beauty that these tropical islands can offer.

Seaside and relax in paradise

It is the destination with the highest number of returning visitors in the world. Meaning that, once you go on holiday here, the chances that you may come back are higher than any place else.

We are talking about Maldives, a wonderful archipelago of 1,190 islands, 202 inhabited and equipped with tourist resorts. South east of India and about 700 km away from Sri Lanka, this paradise in the Indian Ocean is the ideal shelter for those wishing to practise snorkeling, to go diving and especially for anyone wishing to enjoy some well deserved relax pampered from morning to night in the best resorts in the world.

Can't wait to leave, now, can you? Maybe on a honeymoon? Excellent choice, but remember to choose the right period!

When to go to Maldives

The best period for a holiday in Maldives is between December and April, even if in general any month of the year is quite good, provided that you are willing to bear some sporadic rainfall especially in the night. Average temperatures settle around 27 degrees all year round, mitigated by pleasant winds and breezes.

The seasons in the archipelago are two, one quite dry from December to April, and a more humid one from May to the end of November. Rainfalls in the Maldives are generally brief downpours. If you have booked a trip in the wet season, you might be happy to know that precipitations never last for days in a row and it is not rare to find sunny days even between November and April.
