More information about the Maldives

Find perfection, Maldives style

Whether you want to honeymoon in an all-inclusive Maldives resort or sniff around for one of the many cheap Maldives package deals, you’re on your way to an unforgettable holiday for 2017.

In the Maldives, luxury is effortless – and comes in many guises. It could be as simple as watching the sun go down over the Indian Ocean with a cocktail in hand. 

Nestle up to nature

The Maldives archipelago comprises roughly 200 inhabited islands, another 90 resort islands and an additional 900 uninhabited islands. The islands are grouped into atolls, or chains, and most of them boast powder-fine sand and fish-filled coral reefs.

So wherever you stay, holidays in the Maldives can bring you wonderfully close to nature. The coral reefs here host some of the most abundant and astounding aquatic life on the planet. And on land, there are desert-island idylls every way you look. 

Bag cheap Maldives package holidays

Maldives resort islands are just that: islands that are completely dedicated to one single resort. Some resorts cater to diving enthusiasts, others to families with young children and yet more to loved-up couples. Some offer room-only rates, while others offer cheap all-inclusive deals. Whatever your preference, you’re looking at the gateway to paradise in 2017.

When to go

The sun-spoiled Maldives islands know only one type of weather: hot. Average temperatures sit happily between 30-31C throughout the year.

January to April is the ideal time to visit the Maldives. The monsoon season from June to August is best avoided if you envision yourself wearing little more than a swimsuit for the duration of your trip.

Events for your diary

Eid-ul Al’haa: One of the most exciting festivals in the Maldives, Eid-ul Al’haa usually takes place in September and is marked by feasts, parades and music and dance events.
