Maldives from Newark | Maldives Postcards Travel Guide
< The flight is long — usually around 19 hours with a layover in Dubai, Doha, or Singapore — but From arrival off the plane at Velana International Airport, the travel fatigue starts to fade. The Maldives is a destination that rewards the effort it takes to get there. The best time to visit is between January and April, when the dry northeast monsoon brings blue skies and calm seas. But even in the wet season, from May to October, there are plenty of sunny hours between the occasional showers. For travellers from Newark, I often recommend resorts in the North Male Atoll or Baa Atoll. The transfer times are shorter, which means more time relaxing and less time in transit. And with the Maldives offering visa on arrival for most nationalities, the entry process is smooth and hassle-free.What is the best time to visit the Maldives?
