Weather
The best time to travel to the Maldives is during our winter months when the humidity is lower and the temperature more comfortable. However, the monsoon season of May to September should not be discounted for travel as the resorts have fantastic offers on accommodation. The heavier showers tend to occur in the mornings or the late afternoons; a perfect time to visit the spa.

Lying off the southern tip of India is the slender chain of coral islands known as the Maldives. A thousand 'Robinson Crusoe' islands, massive lagoons in infinite shades of blue and turquoise, dazzling underwater coral gardens - this is the perfect natural combination that sits at the heart of every Maldives holiday.
Luxury Maldives holidays or a honeymoon with Abercrombie & Kent are as memorable as the islands themselves.
Here you will enter a world of pure escapism, a world where time stands still in a land of powdery white sand and aquamarine lagoons. Maldives holidays are for a time to relax and unwind from the stresses of day to day life. Resorts in the Maldives have been called 'the last paradise on earth', and if your idea of paradise is a pristine tropical island with swaying palm trees, pure white beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons, then our luxury Maldives holidays will not disappoint.
