The entire coastline is embraced by lush tropical greenery, enhancing the sense of a secluded paradise. The sea, with its stunningly transparent turquoise hues, remains invitingly warm, never dipping below +25°C, complementing the idyllic setting. A lagoon featuring a gentle slope into the water and an extensive shallow area, approximately 1 km in length, provides a safe and comfortable swimming zone. The sandy seabed ensures a carefree entry into the water without the risk of foot injuries. Beyond the shallows lies the open ocean, marking the edge of the island's tranquil waters.

When is the best time to visit?
The Maldives, with its idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters, is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit for a beach vacation is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. This period is characterized by lower humidity, less rainfall, and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for sunbathing, snorkeling, and diving.
- November to April: This is the peak tourist season, with perfect weather conditions for beach activities. The sea is calm, offering excellent visibility for underwater adventures.
- May to October: Known as the monsoon season, this period sees more rain and stronger winds. However, it's also a time when the islands are less crowded, and resorts may offer lower rates.
For those seeking the ultimate beach vacation, timing your visit during the dry season ensures the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, if you're looking to avoid crowds and don't mind occasional showers, the off-peak months can also be a great time to explore the Maldives' natural beauty.
