Being tropical islands, the Maldives is warm the whole year through. The dry season stretches from November to April with December to February being the peak season in the archipelago as those experiencing winter in their home soil embrace the sunshine in the Maldives.

May through to October is windy and wet with showers, but these showers are short-lived and the sun creeps through. This is an off-peak season for the Maldives with fewer crowds, therefore the hotel rates and airfares to the Maldives are lower during this period. Consider these climatic factors as well as the kind of activities you want to experience during your honeymoon such as using beach villas in Maldives or water villas etc. when fixing the dates as the weather is important to enjoy the attractions.

Doing research in advance to select the best resort for your stay for this special period of bonding is crucial. This helps both of you to select that very special place where both of you spend many memorable days. Although each resort offers a luxurious stay, each of them may have different amenities, distinct features of the island and even the basis of stay such as all-inclusive or full board etc.

Furthermore, resorts boast niche specialities such as a niche spa experience or it can even be an exquisite snorkelling experience at the house reef such as at Velassaru Maldives which makes the resort more appealing to you if you are expecting to enjoy these features with your loved one.

When you do this research early you can secure the best resort for your preference considering your travel plans rather than having to look for the next best options and you may also get a better rate for booking early.

With over 200 islands to choose from and considering the special features you are looking for compare with the arrival times of your flights into Maldives. If your flight arrives late in the afternoon, it is best that you select a resort in proximity to the main island where Velana International Airport is located so that a short speedboat transfer can take you there.

If the arrival time is late at Velana International Airport and you choose a remote resort further from the main island where a seaplane transfer is needed you will need to spend overnight on Male Island (the main island) and transfer to the resort the following morning by seaplane as seaplane service does not operate from late afternoon. This may result in losing one night of your special trip to the Maldives.

Based on the leave (of course, the honeymoon is a special occasion that deserves a few days more than usual) and from how far you are travelling to the Maldives it is worth spending at least a week on this archipelago of pristine beaches and cerulean skies.

In addition to the romantic aura, intimacy and bonding this period is unique as you are away from work and normal commitments of regular life to discover more about one another and lay a strong foundation for your relationship. Staying together for several days, sometimes just the two of you in your beach villa is an occasion to cherish just as much as you would cherish visiting a sandbank on a traditional Dhoni to experience different vistas or bask in the glow of a magnificent sunset watching in from the water on a cruise.

Apart from packing clothing and accessories suitable for beaches such as swimwear, shades, and sun hats pack light garments for day wear to suit the tropics and flip flops and comfortable shoes.

Be sure to pack ample reef-safe sunscreen if you intend to spend time outdoors and experience the underwater world.

Alluring evening wear for evenings is highly suitable with the Maldives providing so many opportunities for romance.
