When is the best time to visit Malé?
Malé, being the capital of the Maldives, possesses a tropical monsoon climate characterised by hot, humid conditions year-round. However, they have distinct wet and dry seasons. November to April is the best time to go to Malé because the weather is relatively cooler and drier. This is a good time to see the city and the islands around it. At this time of year, the average temperature lies between 28-29°C; there are very few rainy days, but lots of sunshine. The great weather means it is an excellent time for beach and outdoor activities. This, however, is peak tourist season, and that means that prices for hotels and flights are higher.
May to October marks the rainy season, with frequent short showers and some heavy rainfall, particularly in the southern atolls, although sunny periods are common. This season offers better deals for travellers willing to risk occasional storms, and it’s popular with surfers due to improved wave conditions. Despite the possibility of rain, each resort in Maldives is private and features private beaches, so you will always have a peaceful experience, even when more tourists are here. Those who would like to visit when it’s a bit less crowded, however, should consider the end of October, November, and early December—right before the high season—when the weather is beautiful and there are fewer tourists.
