Maldives is something special and is definitely a bucket list destination of mine.  It offers the ultimate dream of luxury and tranquility. 

 The Maldives is made up of a cluster of small islands in the Indian ocean, 90 of which have been developed as tourist resorts. The islands form a chain of 26 atolls, known for their beaches, blue lagoons, extensive reefs and lush underwater life including fish, sea turtles, manta’s, whales and dolphins. 

 Maldives has two distinct seasons: The dry season (northeast monsoon) from January to March and wet season (southwest monsoon) from mid-May to November. 

The best time to find great hotel deals and affordable flights to the Maldives is between April and November.
