The Maldives : Relax in Paradise

View on a pier in the Maldives looking to the Indian Ocean

Step into a world full of luxury, sun-kissed beaches, tranquil turquoise waters, and pristine natural landscapes. The Maldives consists of over 1,192 islands throughout the Indian Ocean. Each hotel resort is located on its own secluded island, making The Maldives a top destination choice for honeymooners and those looking for luxury and adventure.

Getting to The Maldives takes time and patience but is entirely worth it once you finally relax in your accommodations. Therefore, if you feel escaping to a hammock under the swaying palms, soaking in the luxury pools, or feeling the stresses unwind as you lavish in a complete spa treatment sounds like the perfect vacation for you. Don’t think twice about visiting this magical place in this world!

Best time to visit The Maldives

  • November to April– is considered the best time to visit The Maldives. During this time, the season is full of sunshine, dry weather, and warmth. However, resorts tend to be higher priced to account for peak season with this timeframe. Although heightened because of peak season, crowd control is not overwhelming since each hotel is on its very own island.
  • May to October– is considered the island’s rainy season, and prices may slightly come down for a “deal” staying at a resort but, keep in mind that it is pretty expensive when visiting the hotels in The Maldives. This time of year is perfect for those ready to catch the next big wave since the surf and winds are more common.

Getting there

Arriving at Velana International Airport (MLE) on the North Malé atoll, a representative from the resort will welcome and direct you to where you need to go. Island hopping is not feasible or budget-friendly with the ferry’s routes for options. So, unless you hire a boat charter to navigate the seas and other islands, it’s essential to know which island is your ideal place to stay since you will be spending time on the resort’s secluded island. However, this is what you want from unwinding from the real-world stresses.
