Maldives trips make it onto travelers' bucket lists for good reason. Spread across 26 atolls and encompassing more than 1,000 coral islands in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, white beaches and world class water sports - including diving with whale sharks - make it the ultimate tropical destination. Maldives travel packages make a memorable beach holiday more affordable and easy to book.

When should you book a vacation package to the Maldives?

The high season for travel to the Maldives runs from December to March, when the weather averages in the mid- to high-eighties daily, and Maldives flight and hotel prices are at their highest. Monsoon season extends from May to October, with peak rainfalls between May and November in the northern atolls, and November to March in the southern atolls.
