Romantic landscapes

A turquoise lagoon, white sand, tropical green vegetation, incredible sunrises and sunsets - all this surrounds tourists in the Maldives. Nature has created a picture perfect for the eye. It is hard to believe that 50 years ago no one imagined the Maldives as a popular destination for bounty holidays. In 1972, the first island hotel was opened here - Kurumba . It is still operating and is considered one of the best in the country, especially for families with children. Kurumba, like many other resorts, is very beautiful and romantic. This picture cannot be confused with anything. It is not surprising that one of the reasons for the popularity of the Maldives is the beautiful beaches, as from advertising brochures. This is really true: the beaches here are perfect - the resort islands pay special attention to beauty and cleanliness. No unnecessary vegetation or garbage on the beaches. A paradise for perfectionists.

Beach holidays all year round

One of the advantages of the Maldives is that you can fly here for a holiday at any time of the year. Whenever you get to the islands, the air and water temperature will always be within +28…+32 degrees. The only thing to keep in mind is that the Maldives do have high and low seasons. A few words about them below.

High season in the Maldives

The high season in the Maldives begins at the end of December, covering the New Year and Christmas holidays, and then the so-called dry season begins. It lasts until about March and is characterized by a virtual absence of rain and wind. This time is considered ideal for snorkeling and diving, and is also suitable for those who cannot imagine a holiday without a sunny beach. The water in the lagoon is perfectly clean and transparent - the best time to observe coral reefs and underwater inhabitants.

Low season in the Maldives

The low season is accompanied by frequent rains, with a peak in July-September. It is difficult to predict the weather - if you are lucky, you can even get into a window without rain in August. But in general, if you are going for 10-14 days in the middle of summer, expect that at least half of your vacation will fall on rain.

There is also good news - Maldivian rains are usually short-lived and the sun quickly appears after them. Some tourists fly to the Maldives during the rainy season - to capture dramatic landscapes on camera during a thunderstorm at sunset.

It is also worth remembering that during the rainy season, the water in the lagoons is not as clear due to the plankton carried by the winds. Snorkeling will still be interesting, but not ideal. Although even here there are advantages - during this period there is a very high probability of meeting manta rays - they come to feast on plankton. Also, windsurfing enthusiasts choose the period from August to September-October to conquer, although not as high as in some other parts of the world, but still interesting waves.

Luxury

It is no secret that holidays in the Maldives are expensive. Although there are budget options on local islands where the local population lives, if we are talking about private islands, prices start from a thousand dollars per night and can reach several hundred thousand. Such high amounts are due to the high cost of maintaining villas on remote resort islands where there is no fresh water, power plants or city sewage systems. The islands themselves are tiny - their sizes range from several hundred meters in diameter to larger ones - about a kilometer in length.

The services and facilities at the Maldives resorts are top-notch. Here you can enjoy not only a private pool or dinner at an underwater restaurant, but also ice skating or rent an entire island. Butler services are an integral part of the service at many hotels in the Maldives.

Maldives hotels are so popular that during the high season it will be very difficult for you to book a hotel you like, as villas are sold out six months before the start of the season. Therefore, we recommend planning your vacation in the Maldives at least 2-3 months before the start of your vacation. This way you are guaranteed to find the hotel that suits you perfectly, and you can also save on early booking.

Wiotto.com has favorable booking conditions, when you do not have to pay immediately, but have the opportunity to make payment 5-30 days before arrival, depending on the selected hotel. In this case, the selected villa will be guaranteed to be reserved six months or earlier. Contact the online chat on the site and the manager will tell you, and also calculate the most favorable booking options for you.

Snorkeling and diving in the Maldives

The Maldives are one of the best places in the world for snorkeling and diving . The underwater world around the islands is incredibly beautiful. If you have never tried snorkeling in your life, the Maldives are just the perfect place for it. Warm turquoise-clear water is home to hundreds and thousands of marine life and vegetation. What is worth the play of colors of coral reefs, colorful fish and bizarre algae. Sunken ships, reef sharks, dolphins, turtles, manta rays and whale sharks - this is a real treasure for diving enthusiasts.

The Maldives may not top your list of the best holiday destinations, but it is definitely in the top three. You should visit it at least once.
