High Season

The best climates next to the high season run from December to February, usually there is light rain with clear skies. In the Christmas season, prices and lodging increase considerably.

Shoulder Season

It goes from March to April, the weather continues to be pleasant until April, when the temperature begins to rise exponentially. At Easter the prices increase, and in March the surf season begins.

Low Season

The low season runs from May to November, with a hot climate and abundant rainfall, however, the resorts are at their minimum price. Maldives offers a spectacular sighting of marine life on the western side at this time and the prices rise again in the month of August.

Your trip to Maldives

Your travel to Maldives has about 237% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
