Maldives
The Maldives evokes images of luxury resorts and honeymooners who rest in seaside villas and bathe in sapphire waters. Although the Maldives is home to all of these things, there are ways to visit the Maldives without breaking the bank!
This isolated nation of 1,200 islands and over 30 coral atolls offer world-class diving and snorkelling. There are several possibilities to get out of the hotel resort bubble and enjoy the lovely remoteness of this tropical paradise. The Maldives is becoming a more affordable holiday destination, thanks to a better boat transit system and the establishment of independent guesthouses.
Due to its proximity to the equator, the Maldives has a consistently warm, even hot, climate year-round, with temperatures generally fluctuating in the 80s, but the Maldives, like most countries near the Indian Ocean and the Indian Ocean, has a volatile monsoon season, which is worst between April and October. As a result, the dry season, which lasts from January to April, is the greatest time to visit the Maldives.
