Best time to travel to Maldives

Stargazing in Maldives 2025-2026

The star-studded night is well viewed from any beach, yet observatories offer more—views of distant heavenly bodies

Best time: November–April

Watching the starry night on a warm beach is always a nice way to end your day in the Maldives, and if you want a deeper look into space, local observatories offer great possibilities. In particular, the well-equipped Soneva Fushi Resort promises views of such prominent heavenly bodies as the moons of Venus and Saturn. They provide the most modern telescopes capable of capturing such planets.

The best season to explore the night skies in the Maldives is during the dry season, between November and April when cloudiness is less frequent and less dense.
