The legend

Rasgetheemu: the king's island, where koimala was crowned

When to go

Best season

The Maldives has two monsoon seasons. The north-east monsoon, roughly December to April, is usually drier with calmer seas. The south-west monsoon, roughly May to November, brings more rain and wind, but also some of the best manta and pelagic diving, and often lower prices.
