Best Time to Visit the Maldives
Sunny dry season or better-value green season — pick your perfect month.
The Maldives is a year-round destination, but the experience shifts with the seasons. November to April is the dry season — calm seas, sunny skies and the clearest water, with December to March the peak. May to October is the wetter season, bringing short showers and better value, plus excellent conditions for surfing and diving. This guide breaks down the weather month by month so you can match your Maldives holiday to what matters most — sunshine, price or marine life.
Top things to see & do
Suggested itinerary
Whatever the season, land at Malé, collect your free visa on arrival and transfer to your resort for a first lagoon sunset.
In dry season, snorkel and sunbathe under clear skies; in green season, plan water activities around bright morning spells.
Head out for whale sharks or manta rays — visibility is best in the dry months, but sightings happen year-round.
A final swim before transferring back to Malé, with a clear idea of the season that suited you best.

Dry season: November to April
This is the classic Maldives window — calm, sunny and dry, with glassy lagoons and superb underwater visibility. December to March is the peak, popular with honeymooners and families over the holidays, so demand and prices are highest. Book several months ahead for the best resorts and villas.
Green season: May to October
The wetter months bring short, passing showers rather than all-day rain, often between long sunny spells. The trade-off is quieter islands and better value, making it a smart choice for a first overwater villa on a budget. It is also prime time for surfers and many diving deals.
Best time for diving & marine life
Diving is rewarding year-round. Visibility peaks in the dry season, while the green season can bring rich plankton that draws manta rays and whale sharks. South Ari Atoll offers whale-shark encounters throughout the year, so we can plan around the marine life you most want to see.
When to visit for value
If price is your priority, aim for the green season shoulder months such as May, June, September and early October. You still get plenty of sunshine, but rates on resorts and villas are noticeably softer than at Christmas or New Year.
Planning around Indian holidays
Peak Indian travel periods — Diwali, Christmas, New Year and summer school breaks — fall in high demand windows, so book early. For a calmer, better-value trip, consider travelling just outside these dates. We are open Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm to help you plan.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
