Tips for Your Stay

1. Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season, from November to April. This period features sunny weather and calm seas, perfect for outdoor activities. 

2. What to Pack

For every trip to the Maldives, we recommend lightweight clothing, swimwear, plenty of sun cream, and a wide-brimmed hat. If you have your own snorkelling gear, you could consider bringing it along for convenience, and if you are going to dip below the waves, an underwater camera is highly recommended.

3. Plan Ahead

While many activities are included in your stay, it’s wise to book popular excursions and spa treatments in advance to ensure you don’t miss out on your preferred experiences. Your Personal Travel Concierge at Destinology can arrange all of these reservations for you.
