May is hot, but is the start of the Maldives’ official wet season. Guests visiting Maldives’ resorts during the holy month are unlikely to notice anything different to any other month – meals and alcohol are served as usual. If you’re visiting a local island, there will be some restrictions that you’ll understandably be asked to respect.
This month has a lot going for it: fairly reasonable prices, fewer people at the resorts and optimal surf and scuba conditions are just some of the perks.
From Michelin-Starred private dinners to snorkeling with Manta rays, here’s a where to go this May.
