Maldives : When to go ?

The high tourist season includes the dry period from December to April. From May to October, this is the monsoon season, and therefore the one which has a lower tourist attendance. The sea is agitated by the winds, but the rainy days are very rare and the time remains of course very sunny. Months to avoid are June and July, during which rains may be more frequent. But, of course, it is at that time that the Maldives is within the scope of the most modest scholarships.

But backpackers with backpack now have their place thanks to local islands.On the hotel islands where the majority of tourists live, it takes at least US $ 150 per day, including one night of hotel, meals and leisure. The extras easily reach several hundred dollars for one person on one week's stay. Drinks are expensive: for example, a bottle of mineral water will cost you approximately US $ 4 (if you buy more than you are offered daily in your room in most hotels) and a minimum cocktail US $ 10. If you have a modest budget, the best formula will be that of all inclusive, now proposed by the majority of hotels and travel agencies. Even if the total cost remains, you will be assured of very few additional expenses on the spot.For small budgets, local islands are ideal. You can stay at US $ 50 per day and the extras are very reasonable. If you go out in a local restaurant US $ 10 will suffice for a dish and a non-alcoholic drink (alcohol being forbidden reduces the addition).FormalitésForeigners do not need a visa if they travel to Maldives for a maximum stay of 30 days.
