Island Resorts
When it comes to places to stay, island resorts are a popular option since they offer the complete Maldives experience. Luxury resorts the likes of Faarufushi Maldives provide beachside and overwater accommodation along with everything from fun activities and excursions to dining venues and spa treatments that help make an unforgettable stay.

Airport Transfers
While the international airport is in Malé, resorts can be found on their own private islands, some of which are quite a distance away. In Maldives, luxury resort properties can only be reached via a seaplane or speedboat, though check ahead regarding the transfer costs.

Water Sports
One of the key attractions in Maldives is the huge array of water sports on offer. Snorkelling and diving are all-time favourites and most resorts do offer them. Of course, you can also look to try kayaking, wakeboarding, waterskiing, banana boating, standup paddleboarding (SUP), jet skiing and deep-sea fishing too!

Travel Period
On a final note, just keep in mind that the high season (December to February) generally has the best weather, though the highest rates too. The shoulder season (March to April) is also a good travel period though it can get quite hot. The low season (May to November) is marked by rains but rates are lower too.
