GEOGRAPHY & WEATHER
The Maldives is an equatorial island nation in the Indian Ocean. Only 298 square kilometres of the country’s total area of 90,000 square kilometres is made up of dry land.
The Maldives is breathtaking not just above the ocean. About five percent of the world’s reefs, which are formed by both soft and hard corals, are found in the Maldives. These reefs are known for their vibrant displays of colour. One thousand different types of fish reside on the reefs. Large pelagic fish like manta rays and whale sharks are also drawn to the Maldives by the abundance of nutrients carried in by the ocean currents.
The Maldives enjoys warm and sunny weather around the year. The monsoon season surprises you with gentle rain showers from May to June, but you can expect temperatures between a balmy 26 and 32 degrees celsius year round. Maldivian seas are warm and clear throughout the year too!
