Another feature of this beach is the large amount of palm trees: they provide natural shadow from the heat of the sun. Bikini is also famous for its perfect cleanliness, large amount of exotic fish and luminous plankton that decorates the ocean during the night. A perfect view of the tropical islands, narrow lines of sand and tourist yachts opens from the local coast. Even more interesting landscapes await in the depths of the Indian Ocean. Underwater excursions and yacht rides are organized for the visitors.
The majority of visitors are American and European tourists. Many guests from Asia and the CIS are coming in recent years. All visitors are kind to each other and follow basic etiquette. That's further proven by the very low crime rate.
When is the best time to go?
Maldives – is an equatorial country with a tropical climate, where the weather is always warm at + 27-30ºС. But the islands have some seasonal features. From mid-April to the end of October it often rains here. The dry season lasts from November till April. At this time, the initially clear sea becomes completely transparent, and the sun illuminates in the sky 12 hours a day.
Important: A large amount of plankton is collected in October and November off the coast, which is why the ocean takes on a slightly unclear hue. On the other side – plankton illuminates the sea at night, creating an indescribable picture. At this time, coastal waters are filled with stingrays – fabulously fascinating creatures that are in no way inferior to the dolphins.
