Plan your holiday while factoring in the weather

Based on the fact that the Maldives is a tropical destination, warm weather and monsoonal rains are common occurrences. This is why it is vital that you plan well ahead keeping in mind that the weather can throw a spanner in the works for you if not careful. In terms of the best time to head over for a beach vacation, the period commencing in November and ending in April is by far, the most favourable time of year. During this period, fair and temperate weather will be yours to savour coupled with every opportunity to hit the beach, unwind in an overwater bungalow or take on the challenge of trying out a new hobby out on the ocean.

Book your resort

 All resorts in the Maldives have websites which makes it a great way to check out exactly what the experience at each property is like before you make your booking. It also makes it easier to compare rates and amenities. During most times of the year, these resorts have exclusive offers to help you go easy on your wallet. Booking your stay well in advance can entitle you to amazing discounts on the best rates. Honeymooners seeking a romantic getaway also have the option of packages with special inclusions to make sure their experience will be a truly memorable one. 

How can you past the time?

Undoubtedly, the crux of your beach outing in the Maldives would be leisure. In this sense, the island nation provides ample space where you can while away the hours on a private beach, explore leafy patches in and around your villa or bungalow and even make for the nearest sandbank to sip on a fruity cocktail and watch the world breeze by. Also, the amount of leisure activities you end up deciding on will be influenced by the exact locations of where you will be based at during the duration of your stay. For instance, if you opt to be based at arguably, the top luxury resort in Maldives which is Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, then you will have access to your own house reef where you can look forward longingly to many a diving expedition in the waters of the North Male Atoll. In fact, when holidaying in this part of the world, the keen adventurer in you will be led towards obtaining a PADI diving certification which will rank as one of the best memories of your stay. While a cross section of water sports in the range of wind surfing, scuba diving, banana boat riding and sea kayaking can be easily planned out; one can also choose to remain on land and specifically, on the beach! You can throw in your beach umbrella, pack in your favourite author’s prized work and spend as much time as possible basking in the glorious rays before tiptoeing to the water to dive in for a few minutes. Also, a spa therapy session cannot be excluded and given that you will always have your eyes on the ocean, the feeling of a healing massage, herbal remedy or steam bath for that matter will surely put you in your very best mood for what lies ahead. Before you place a full-stop to your beach vacation, it would be important to sample the mouthwatering fare for which the Maldives is well known for. Whether you want to munch on some flatbread, tuck into a spicy samosa or order a magnificent seafood platter for you and those that matter to you, the Maldivian isles will complement your every whim and fancy and hence, have you falling head over heels all over again.
