Climate

The Maldives'  climate is almost perfect, balmy mornings and sun-filled days are followed by gentle breezes in the evening and a star-filled sky. Temperatures are fairly constant – around 30 degrees Celsius. The only difference is the dry and wet seasons.

The period from May to November is the Hulhangu Monsoon season, leading to significantly higher rainfall, particularly on the southern islands. During this time there may be strong winds and stormy, overcast skies. Whilst less popular as a summer destination during this time, the temperature remains hot and there is a strong chance of extended periods of sunshine in between showers.

During the Iruvai dry season which starts in January and continues through April there is a reduction in humidity and rainfall, whilst February and March provide the most sun. The Maldives is at its most popular between December and April, when visitors come to take advantage of the long warm days. However, whilst the temperature is relatively consistent, the weather is always unpredictable and storms can suddenly strike, regardless of the season, although they do tend to be short lived.

Whatever time of year you choose to visit, the Maldives offer azure blue seas and sunshine, making it perfect for a relaxing luxury holiday.

Turtle Rehabilitation

In conjunction with the Maldivian Sea Turtle Conservation Programme, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru has initiated a series of projects to protect, monitor, relocate, release, rear and rehabilitate Maldivian sea turtles. One of the centre's greatest successes is Olivia, an Olive Ridley Turtle who came to the centre to recover from a head injury. She was released in February 2012, equipped with a satellite-tracking device mounted on her carapace. Because there has been so little research into Olive Ridley Turtles, Olivia is a pioneer for her species, contributing to valuable research into the movements of the world’s smallest sea turtles.

Turtle Rehabilitation
Other Water-Based Activities

Staying above water can be just as exhilarating as below it, with all manner of watersports, dolphin-watching, ‘dhoni’ boat fishing, sailing in splendour on a private yacht or rowing to a deserted island for a candle-lit dinner or Champagne breakfast. Whether you decide to take a thrilling jet-ski excursion or a luxurious spa treatment in the world's first underwater massage treatment room at Huvafen Fushi, there are plenty of activities available in the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean.

Other Water-Based Activities
Luxury Yachts

For a unique holiday experience, why not discover the Maldives on a luxury yacht? Four Seasons Explorer, a three-deck, 128ft catamaran, has been navigating the most sought-after dive locations in the Indian Ocean since 2002 and is, quite simply, a floating Four Season resort, with all that implies – guests enjoy everything from three dives a day, to gourmet cuisine, exemplary accommodation and even castaway massages on idyllic sandbanks.

Luxury Yachts
Scuba Diving

With just two-hundred inhabited islands and only around ninety developed for visitors, a holiday to the Maldives is both fascinating and tranquil. Twenty-six natural ring-like atolls are home to 1,190 coral islands. The atolls each boast a glorious coral reef and lagoon which gives each island its unique natural quality above and below water. No trip to the Maldives would be complete without an exploration of the beautiful coral reefs, whether you’re snorkelling or diving there are thousands of species of marine life to discover in the warm, crystal clear waters. You’ll find that the resorts feature PADI dive centres and offer snorkelling equipment allowing you to explore this glorious underwater world.
