However, for those keen on the mode of accommodation and its corresponding facilities & highlights that might be availed of more often than not, do factor in the possibility of arriving during the driest period of the Maldives. Thus, the months of January to April will bring with it low humidity levels and dry weather for most parts but in turn, you and your family will be privileged to be staying within what the local hotel and resort properties consider as ‘peak season.’ Though, be sure to consider your budget extremely carefully as the Maldives is not the cheapest destination to be heading over to and that too on a family vacation.
Move around the beach areas and head for the water
When in the Maldives, leisure and adventure-savvy travellers will find plenty of reasons to kick back and make a beeline for the closest stretch of beach or dive centre. Thus, even families can partake in such escapades regardless of whether one yearns for a closer look at the ocean floor and its hidden gems or the waves that would offer up quite the challenge indeed. Snorkelling comes across as an activity that can be tapped into even within 20 meters of your lodging and requires the ability to float. On the flip side, scuba diving will see to it that you venture out farther into the ocean which does require an oxygen tank, wet suit, fins and a mask so that you are well-equipped to view the marine life of the Maldives. For the more daring at heart, consider kite surfing, windsurfing or jet skiing which must be carried out under the watchful eyes of experts who understand the environment and prevailing conditions better than any holidaymaker. On a concluding note, expect to be a part of a riveting and refreshing ride in the Maldives that will surely spur you on towards many a goal once safely back home.
