When is the best time to travel?

Maldives is a year-round travel destination, However, there are two major seasons that need to be considered. Between June and August During this time, the country experiences significant rainfall, when it rains, it pours down heavily for a short time and then clears up just as quickly. However, we cannot guarantee that the weather will last only a few hours, a few minutes, or the entire day., you are well into the wet season in the Maldives but still expect high temperatures and humidity.
