Classic Sri Lanka and the Maldives
Combine the cultural magic of Sri Lanka with the stunning beaches and crystal clear waters of the Maldives.
The Maldives is idyllic beyond belief, and its magnificence is reflected in its weather. With near-perfect temperatures and a generally dry climate the whole year round, it is one of those rare destinations that's always in season. It is one of the most extraordinary countries in the world with its chains of small sandy coral islands dotted around 26 atolls.

Wildlife
All Year (marine life)
January - April
Minimal rain, fantastic hot Maldives temperatures and clear blue skies make this one of the best times to visit the Maldives. Sea waters will be calm and clear too, so ideal for sun-seekers and snorkellers alike.
May - September
Don't be put off that May to September is the wet season for the Maldives - it's still a period for travel. Humidity and rain do increase over these months, but as the islands are so low-lying, rain clouds blow over very quickly so rain will only be short lived. Lower traveller numbers and excellent "low season" offers mean its a great time to visit.
October - December
Hot, dry weather returns to the Maldives as the wet season ends in October. Expect long days of brilliant sunshine and temperatures in the high 20°Cs - low 30°Cs. A very popular time to travel.
