Last month in September i went to a trip to the Maldives for 2,5 weeks. Yes, you are right it is rain season in the Maldives during that time BUT i recommend travelling during this time, tho. It rained a couple times late at night or early in the morning, but never the whole day.

It rains heavily, but we all know that rain brings us flowers- the vegetation on the islands is AMAZING. I even went in the water for snorkeling when it was raining- the water is always very warm.

Generally, the weather can get pretty hot and I recommend bringing a lot of sunscreen (I did not bring enough, burned myself so heavy that I had to go to the local ”hospital”)

I don’t really know where to start but let me just say it was the PERFECT time this year to go there. A couple hotels were allowed to open back up during the pandemic and there really were only a few tourists. Whenever i had to leave, couple days earlier many people arrived and the couple i met there as well as me both said it has a different atmosphere now. Too crowded.

If you love snorkeling, diving and if you are not scared of only being surrounded by the sea, living on a small island in the middle of nowhere- then the island Lankanfinolhu is the place to go. I stayed at Paradise Island Resort and i made a great deal during pandemic.

I woke up in my little bungalow, sometimes had an outside shower first, then went early to breakfast and sat outside next to the water, next to little sharks and other great sea-animals.
