Are you wondering what the best time to visit the Maldives is? Let us guide you through the different seasons in the Maldives.
Northeast Monsoon
From December to April, the small isles of Maldives experience the dry season. It is when the scarce rain and low humidity results in bright blue skies, cloudless days and still, balmy evenings. For those looking for warm tropical weather, where they can enjoy the sun with temperatures ranging between 30°C – 33°C, it’s the perfect time to visit the tropical paradise. You can enjoy days filled with sunshine, and the water is ever-inviting with the clear visibility and the cool waves.
At Nova, it is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the underwater world — with its inviting, vibrant sea life and crystal-clear seawater. During this period, the water visibility is at its highest, making it a fantastic time for snorkelling and diving. It’s also ideal for paddling across the lagoon, appreciating the panoramic sceneries and discovering the wonders hidden below the water’s surface. On your escape across the Indian Ocean, you can cruise on a boat while watching dolphin shows or marvel at the breathtaking sunset atop the vast and pristine seascape.
Southwest Monsoon
This season runs from mid-May to November and is known as the wet season in the Maldives. With its milder temperatures, lower humidity, frequent rain showers and occasionally strong wind, it’s a time when the waters are richer and wilder. During this time, you can discover many soulful adventures at Nova. With our island being located in the South Ari Atoll, the plankton-rich waters of the wet season are a frequented home for Manta Rays, among other marine life. You can spot hammerhead sharks, reef sharks and other enormous marine creatures. The lower temperature during this period welcomes the congregating and feasting on the trapped plankton in the atoll.
Aside from the wonderful marine life, another extraordinary phenomenon awaits you during the southwest monsoon. The renowned sea of stars, known as the bioluminescence planktons, is abundant on the Maldivian shores during this season. This natural paradigm invites visitors to witness the glowing blue stars, as you draw luminous scenes on the sandy beach. And those going for a nighttime dip in the ocean can also catch the plankton glowing under the water as well. This magical effect results from a natural chemical reaction which occurs when the plankton interacts with oxygen.
The wet season is also the perfect occasion to pamper your body, mind and soul at Nova. On days when the raindrops play a calming tune while hitting the darkened lagoon, head over to the Eskape spa for special holistic rituals. These are the perfect moments to enhance your soul’s wellbeing, and restore moments of mindfulness.
