Realistically, any time you visit the Maldives you are virtually guaranteed incredible weather and glorious sunshine. The high season however falls within the months of December through to March, as outside of these months you may find the sunshine is periodically broken up by a little cloud.

For those on the hunt for a surfing holiday, we’d recommend March through until October, and for those planning on spotting whale sharks, May is your best bet. The months with the least predictable weather are September and October.
