The initial glimpse of the Maldives is the fascinating atoll formation similar to a necklace. Along with that is the awareness that most of the Maldives (99 per cent) is surrounded by the sea, and only 1 per cent constitutes the 1192 coral islands. About 200 of these are beautiful resort islands that keep enticing visitors.
Best time to visit
Maldives is blessed with warm temperatures and sunny days. November to April has minimal rain and clear skies. May to September is the monsoon season with short showers; however, visitors can expect attractive Maldives beach resort packages during these months from the likes of NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort. October has dry weather. December is the peak travel time in the Maldives; hence, book your stay in advance.
Selecting the Resort
The Maldives is generally more expensive than other destinations due to its unique geography in being remote and the world-class experience it delivers. Hence, look at the resort costs upfront, including the meal plans, airport transfers, spa and wellness offerings, and activities.
Villa Type
There is an array of villa types in most luxury resorts, such as beach villas and overwater villas; each type may come with its own private pool providing privacy for guests. These villas offer easy access to the beach with excellent views of the ocean to wake up to.

Just as much as the villas are enticing, the ocean is a big attraction along with the associated activities. Don’t fail to try out easy sports like kayaking and paddleboards, as well as more exciting snorkelling and even diving, as even novices can try these with trained experts from the resort. Dolphin watching and sunset excursions add to these wonderful experiences, enriching the island holiday.
