Maldives from Bath, UK — Split-Stay Itineraries | Maldives Postcards

One of the most common questions I get asked is about the best time to visit the Maldives. The Maldives enjoys a tropical climate, hot all year round, with a weather pattern that is mainly determined by two monsoon seasons. The best weather is typically between January and April, when the dry northeast monsoon prevails. However, even during the wet season from May to October, there are usually long periods of bright sunshine. The Maldives is a year-round destination, and each season has its own unique charm.
