A luxury honeymoon in the Maldives

For clear skies and low humidity aim for the dry season which runs from November to April and is traditionally the best time to visit the Maldives. However, temperatures remain more or less constant all year round, with maximum daytime highs never veering far from the 30°C mark. However, to be precise, the dry season is the best time to visit the islands of the Maldives. From May to November expect similar temperatures but a higher chance of rainfall or even the odd storm. Much of the rainy season is still characterised by spells of clear sunny skies, so an off-season Maldives holiday can offer great value and plenty of beach weather. Another bonus of visiting between May and October is that this is Whale Shark season, and it is easy to arrange a trip to see these gentle giants in action. If you are keen to spend a lot of your Maldives holiday underwater, a little extra rain shouldn't interfere with your plans too significantly.
