Best Time To travel
Dry Season - December to April
This is the peak tourist season in the Maldives. The weather is generally dry and sunny, making it ideal for beach activities, snorkeling, and diving. The seas are calm during this period, creating excellent visibility for underwater exploration. Keep in mind that this is also the most expensive time to visit, and popular resorts can get fully booked well in advance.
Shoulder Season - May and November
The transition months between the wet and dry seasons can offer a good compromise between weather and cost. May and November can have relatively lower prices compared to the peak season, and you can still enjoy pleasant weather and water activities. Keep in mind that there might be occasional rain showers.
Wet Season - June to October
The wet season in the Maldives brings more rainfall, especially from June to August. However, the Maldives can still be visited during this time, especially if you're looking for more budget-friendly options. The weather can be unpredictable, with occasional heavy rain and overcast skies. While it might not be ideal for sunbathing, the wet season can still offer good opportunities for diving, as the waters are warmer and marine life is abundant.
Currency
Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR)
However, US Dollars are widely accepted in resorts, hotels, and tourist areas, so it's not necessary to exchange currency if you are staying in these places.
