Tailor-Made Luxury Holidays to Maldives, Designed Around You.

The word paradise is used quite a lot to describe islands and destinations across the world – but the Maldives truly are a tropical paradise - filled with incredible beauty and dreamlike vistas - the perfect destination for beach lovers and those who are purely...lovers.

The Maldives are made up of a cluster of tiny islands, each surrounded by the intoxicating blues of the Indian Ocean, they come with plenty of sunshine and are full of palm trees, beautiful reefs and white sandy beaches, but perhaps more importantly – the Maldives are positively full of personality - some islands great for divers and snorkelers and others positively divine for honeymooning couples.

When to Visit

Best Time to Travel to Maldives

The Maldives come with plenty of sunshine and great temperatures that average out (with exceptional consistency) at around 30°C, throughout the year. The best weather is between November and April, while the high season falls between December and March. There is a monsoon season in the Maldives and it runs from May to October and peaks around June - the prices are lower at this time of year - but in our opinion, it’s worth paying higher prices and visiting during the dry season as there isn’t much to do on a rainy day in the Maldives except drink or scuba dive...though the islands do have a certain charm when under rainfall.

Diving is good all year-round, though the reef is generally more varied with better visibility on the western side between May and November and from the eastern between December and April. With the islands’ consistent weather and year round beauty there really is no bad time to visit the Maldives.
