01
When to go
November through April is the dry season. February and March are peak. May and October are quietly excellent (and significantly less crowded).
02
For honeymooners
Soneva Jani and Cheval Blanc Randheli are unmatched. For a quieter ultra-luxury stay, consider COMO Cocoa Island.
03
For families
Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru — Preferred-Partner perks, exceptional kids program, world-class house reef.
04
For divers
Six Senses Laamu and Anantara Kihavah — both with house reefs that are genuinely world-class.
05
On flights
Most resorts require a seaplane transfer after your international arrival. Allow a full travel day. Lorraine arranges day-room accommodations where useful.
