The Best Time to Visit the Maldives: A Seasonal Guide

The Maldives is sunshine central all year round, and Kandima Maldives is the ultimate spot to soak it all up. Perfectly placed on the equator, the Maldives enjoys warm weather and bright skies no matter the season. Life here moves to the rhythm of just two seasons, each bringing its own tropical charm. Whether you are chasing endless sun or soaking up a refreshing island drizzle, life at Kandima is the ultimate getaway.

At Kandima, every day is a chance to enjoy the perfect island escape, all year round. So, you may wonder what is the best time to visit the Maldives? While it’s a year-round destination, many travellers enjoy the dry, sunny months from November to April. Find out more below!

Seasons in the Sun: Iruvai and Hulhangu

Kandima is blessed with warm tropical vibes and sunshine nearly every single day of the year. Instead of four seasons, life here follows two monsoons: the southwest monsoon, Iruvai, and the

northeast monsoon, Hulhangu. Iruvai is the sunnier season, with clear skies and endless blue days. Hulhangu may bring a few tropical showers, but they pass quickly, leaving plenty of sunshine to enjoy all throughout the year. 

Iruvai Bliss

Running from roughly December to April, Iruvai is the sunniest season. With calm seas and crystal-clear visibility, it is the perfect time to dive beneath the surface for snorkelling and all the watersports you can imagine. Back on land, those bright, dry days make it the ultimate season to enjoy a game of football at Kandima’s sports arena or simply soak up the island vibes outdoors.

Hulhangu Magic

From May to November, the Hulhangu season may bring the occasional tropical shower, but at Kandima that simply means more ways to play. When the skies turn cloudy, you can head to PlaySpace for arcade games or a cosy movie night. Join fun workshops at Breeze Pool Bar, or let the children enjoy pizza-making classes at Kandiland. Wellness seekers can flow into the day with energising yoga sessions at Burn, turning each morning into an amazing start. 

Good Vibes in Every Forecast

At Kandima, every day is packed with ways to enjoy island life, no matter the weather. Chill in your Beach Pool Villa with Swirl Pool and watch the most Insta-worthy sunsets, or slip straight into the ocean from your Ocean Pool Villa for that endless blue joy. Foodies can go on a full-on gastronomic adventure, choosing from a line-up of seriously stylish dining spots — from sizzling grills at Smoked, to Asian flavours at Sea Dragon, and global bites at Flavour and Zest. Rain or shine, the vibes here are always set to wow.

Your Year-Round Paradise

No matter when you visit, the Maldives shines bright. At Kandima, every season brings its own magic, with sunshine, style and good vibes waiting for you all year round.
