Editorial snapshot
Flying to the Maldives rewards early planners: fares from South Asian hubs like Mumbai or Colombo are manageable year-round, but European and Australian travellers should book at least 10-12 weeks ahead for the November-to-March dry season. The real cost quirk is not the airfare — it is the seaplane or speedboat transfer that waits on the other side. Suits honeymooners, divers, and anyone who considers a week of doing absolutely nothing a legitimate holiday goal.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
The Maldives splits cleanly into two seasons. The dry northeast monsoon (November to April) brings calm seas, clear skies, and the highest fares of the year. The southwest monsoon (May to October) delivers rain and wind but also significantly cheaper flights and fewer crowds — and the diving remains excellent throughout.

|---|---|---|---|
| January | Peak | High | Peak dry season; book 10-12 weeks ahead for best fares. |
| February | Peak | High | One of the best weather months; fares at their highest. |
| March | Peak | High | Whale shark season begins; demand stays strong. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Transition month; weather softens, fares begin to ease. |
| May | Budget | Low | Monsoon arrives; excellent value, fewer tourists. |
| June | Budget | Low | Quietest month; big discounts at resorts and on fares. |
| July | Mid | Medium | European summer holidays push demand slightly higher. |
| August | Mid | Medium | Manta ray aggregations peak; good value despite demand. |
| September | Budget | Low | Quietest stretch; lowest fares and uncrowded reefs. |
| October | Budget | Low | Monsoon tailing off; snorkelling visibility improving. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Dry season resumes; book early as prices climb fast. |

IATA: MLE · 2 km from Malé city centre · 30-90 min speedboat to most resort islands
Velana International is the Maldives' only major international airport, sitting on its own island (Hulhulé) just across the lagoon from the capital Malé. The main terminal handles all international arrivals; a separate seaplane terminal on the north side of the airfield is where most resort-bound travellers continue their journey. Immigration is generally smooth, though December and January peak periods can create queues of 30-45 minutes — having your accommodation confirmation and arrival details ready speeds things along considerably.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Public ferry to Malé | MVR 7 (approx. USD 0.45) | 10-15 min to Malé ferry terminal |
| Speedboat transfer (resort-arranged) | USD 50-150 per person (resort rates vary) | 20-90 min depending on atoll |
| Seaplane transfer (Trans Maldivian Airways) | USD 150-500 per person return | 15-45 min to outer atolls |
