Planning a Maldives holiday and wondering when to set sail? Timing your yacht charter with Meliora Yachts can make all the difference in crafting an unforgettable experience. From crystal-clear waters to vibrant marine life, the Maldives offers something spectacular year-round. Here’s your guide to choosing the perfect season for your luxury yacht adventure.

Understanding the Maldives Seasons
The Maldives enjoys a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season (November to April) and the wet season (May to October). Each offers unique advantages for a yacht charter.
Dry Season (November to April): Known as the "northeast monsoon," this period brings sunny skies, calm seas, and excellent visibility for snorkelling and diving. It’s peak season, ideal for exploring coral reefs and spotting manta rays or whale sharks. With Meliora Yachts, you can anchor at serene lagoons or visit beautiful uninhabited islands under perfect weather conditions.
Wet Season (May to October): Expect occasional showers, but also lush scenery and fewer crowds. The wet season offers great value, with lower rates and vibrant marine life, as plankton blooms attract manta rays. Our yachts are equipped to ensure comfort, with indoor lounges and flexible itineraries to dodge any rain.
Seasonal Highlights for Your Charter
Marine Life Adventures: February to April is prime time for diving, with clear waters revealing vibrant coral reefs. Meliora Yachts offers guided excursions to top dive sites like Banana Reef or Fish Head. Ari Atoll is perfect for divers as some of the best dive sites in Maldives are located in this atoll.
Cultural Events: Plan your trip around the Maldives’ Independence Day (July 26) for vibrant celebrations on local islands, or Ramadan for a cultural immersion, with Meliora Yachts arranging respectful visits.
Surfing Season: May to October brings bigger waves, perfect for surfers. Our yachts can take you to prime surf breaks like Cokes or Chickens. Venture to less crowded surf spots in further atolls and have the waves just for yourself.
