Best Time to Visit Maldives
November to April is the ideal time to visit the Maldives for the best weather, calm seas and excellent snorkeling visibility.
December to February is peak season — book early to get the best rates, especially for popular guesthouses on Maafushi.
May to October (southwest monsoon) offers lower prices with some rain. Still enjoyable on the eastern atolls.
For travellers from Bangladesh, January to March is the sweet spot — dry weather, school holiday period, and ideal conditions for a budget Maldives trip.
