Maldives from Tamworth, Australia — Split-Stay Itineraries | Maldives Postcards

The total travel time is usually around 19 hours, depending on your layovers. You’ll likely fly into Sydney first, then catch an international flight to Singapore or Dubai before heading to Malé.

The best weather is between January and April, when the dry season brings blue skies and low humidity. However, the Maldives is warm year-round, and even the wet season has plenty of sunshine.

The Maldives offers a 30-day visa on arrival for most nationalities, including Australians. You’ll need a valid passport, a return ticket, and proof of accommodation.

For first-time visitors, I often recommend the North Malé Atoll or the Baa Atoll. North Malé is close to the airport, and the Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its incredible marine life.

There are so many incredible resorts, but a few favorites include Gili Lankanfushi in the North Malé Atoll, Vakkaru Maldives in the Baa Atoll, and Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.

Once you arrive in Malé, you’ll take a seaplane or speedboat to your resort. The transfer time varies depending on where your resort is located, but it’s usually between 20-45 minutes.

The Maldives is warm year-round, with temperatures averaging around 30°C. The dry season, from January to April, has the least rain and clearest skies. The wet season, from May to October, has more rain but still plenty of sunshine.

Absolutely! Many resorts in the Maldives are family-friendly, with kids’ clubs, family villas, and activities for all ages. Vakkaru Maldives in the Baa Atoll is a great choice for families.

Worth recommending: booking at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during the peak season from January to April. This gives us time to secure the best rates and availability for your preferred resort.

The 30-day visa on arrival includes permission to stay in the Maldives for up to 30 days. You’ll need a valid passport, a return ticket, and proof of accommodation. There’s no need to arrange a visa in advance.

There are no specific health requirements for visiting the Maldives, but it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before traveling. Some resorts may have their own health and safety protocols, so it’s best to check with them directly.
