Frequently asked questions
About Maldives
The Maldives is a tropical paradise consisting of over 1,000 coral islands, known for its crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches. The local currency is the Maldivian Rufiyaa. The Maldives is a popular destination for honeymooners and luxury travelers seeking relaxation and water activities. The underwater world of the Maldives is rich with marine life, making it a top spot for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. The local culture is influenced by South Asian, Arab, and African traditions, reflected in the cuisine, music, and art of the islands.
When to visit
The best time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season from November to April when the weather is sunny and the sea is calm. The wet season from May to October brings occasional rain showers and higher humidity, but also lower prices and fewer tourists. The Maldives experiences a tropical climate with temperatures averaging around 30°C throughout the year, making it a great destination for beach lovers.
Getting around
Getting around the Maldives is mainly done by speedboat or seaplane, as the islands are spread out across the Indian Ocean. Resorts often arrange transfers for guests from the main airport to their respective islands. Local ferries and boats are also available for travel between inhabited islands, providing a glimpse into the local way of life.
Traveller tips
Pack light and bring sunscreen, swimwear, and comfortable footwear for exploring the islands. Respect the local customs and dress modestly when outside of resorts. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun while enjoying water activities. Book excursions and activities in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak tourist seasons. Be mindful of the environmental impact of your visit and support sustainable tourism practices.
