Discount dreams vs monsoon reality: Is the Maldives low season worth it?
The Maldives is a popular island destination; however, travelling during the low season can come with challenges. Image: Unsplash The Maldives is a tropical island destination. If you want an affordable getaway, it's advisable to travel during the low season. But what is the low season like? Travel content creator Antonio Pozo shared his experience visiting the Maldives during this time. He posted a video on Instagram titled "POV: You book a trip to the Maldives in low season". In the video, Pozo swims in an infinity pool on an overwater bungalow during a tropical cyclone. Waves crash against the shore under dark grey skies. 'Maldives in low season - aka Typhoon Season 🌧️🌪️ But nothing beats a Jet2holiday™… right? 😂,' he joked. Comments on Pozo's post reflect mixed reactions. One user, @drponikowska_genetyk, said: 'I booked an off-session (cheap) trip to India, got chikungunya (tropical illness). Great deal.' Another user, @christine_philip, commented: 'That's actually quite cool.' @ added: 'Bro got half price and a nature spa treatment for free, what a deal, man.' The low season in the Maldives generally spans from May to October, coinciding with the rainy season. During this period, you can find more affordable prices on accommodations and flights. When visiting the Maldives during the low season, expect higher humidity and increased rainfall. You may encounter short, intense showers or storms. With fewer tourists during this time, the low season can be ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape. Budget-friendly deals abound as many resorts offer discounts, complimentary transfers or even room upgrades. Visitors can still enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives, with opportunities to spot impressive marine life, including whale sharks and manta rays, despite reduced water visibility. The south-westerly winds create larger waves, making it a great time for surfing, so before booking a travel package, consider these factors.
