When is the best time to visit Maafushi Island (Maldives)?

Maafushi Island is generally hot and sunny throughout the year, with little rainfall. The best months to visit Maafushi are January and February. This is because during these two months, there is not much rainfall and the temperatures averages just 29 degree Celsius.


Maafushi in December

Between March and December, temperatures go up to around 31 degree Celsius, which is still bearable. However, the wet season is from May to December, which is when rainfall increases considerably.

We visited Maafushi during end December and it only rained on one of the days during our five day trip. The rest of the days were all beautiful with sunny weather. Both Raevian and I got really tanned after our Maafushi trip. Therefore, do take note to use lots of sunblock lotion because the Maldivian sun is really intense!

    Hi,

    I saw you went to Maafushi Island in Maldives. In January / February I will be going with my friends and I am interested to take my drone with me for some footage. I saw you have used your drone there and I am interested in how to get my drone with me. Do I have to put it in the checked in baggage? Do I have to ask someone there for permit to use the drone? What about on the resort and spa island?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi onel dumitru,
    You should keep the drone in your carry-on, because there are restrictions on keeping batteries in checked-in luggage. I did not have to apply for a drone permit on Maafushi, and I believe you do not need a permit on the luxury resort islands too. You can click here for more details.
