Is Maldives right for you?

A Maldives hotel is often an entire private island, so resort facilities and meal plans matter more than in a normal town. Seaplane or speedboat transfers, room category and included drinks can create large differences between headline and final prices.

When to go

The Maldives is warm year-round, with seasonal changes in rain, wind and visibility. Peak winter demand can raise prices. Weather varies between atolls and cannot be guaranteed even during traditionally drier periods.
