For general travel and calm seas: December–April (dry season). For the best surf: April–October (southwest monsoon provides bigger, consistent swells). Shoulder months (April, November) can balance both.

Tropical maritime climate with average temperatures around 26–31°C (79–88°F) year-round. Southwest monsoon (May–Oct) brings warmer seas, higher humidity and more rain; Northeast monsoon (Dec–Mar) is drier and sunnier.

Nearest international airport: Velana International Airport (MLE) on Hulhulé (Malé area). Transfer options:

• Speedboat: 25–60 minutes from Malé (common and convenient; many guesthouses include transfers).
• Public ferry: cheaper but slower (approx 1.5–3 hours depending on service) and less frequent—check schedules in advance.
• Private speedboat or charter options are available for groups. Book transfers through your guesthouse or a reputable operator.

Minimum 2–3 days to experience surf/snorkel highlights; 4–7 days recommended for relaxed travel, multiple surf sessions, dives and island-hopping.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light rain jacket for the monsoon months, water shoes, snorkel mask (optional), and a hat.
