November–April (drier season with calmer weather), though the lake is accessible year-round.

Tropical: warm and humid with average temperatures around 25–31°C (77–88°F). May–October brings the wetter Southwest Monsoon with heavier rain and wind.

Located on Fuvahmulah Island. Travel by domestic flight to Fuvahmulah Airport (FVM) from Malé, then a short taxi or island bus ride to the lake. On the island, paths around the lake are walkable but may include uneven ground.

Plan 1–3 hours for a relaxed visit; half a day to a full day if combining swimming, walks and local meals.

Light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sturdy walking shoes or sandals, insect repellent, sunhat and sunscreen, and a waterproof bag for valuables.

Try local Maldivian dishes on Fuvahmulah such as mas huni and freshly grilled fish. Souvenirs include local handicrafts and packaged Maldive fish (dried tuna) sold on the island.
