All international cheap flights to the Maldives land at Malé International (MLE).
When to go
Whilst cheap flights to the Maldives are easier to come by between May and November this is also the monsoon period, where the islands see the most rain and least sun. The other monsoon period is less serious, affecting the northeast, and lasts from December to March, which are drier and cooler months.
Beautiful white beaches, coral and incredible sea-life from turtles, to clown triggerfish and rays. Need any further persuasion that this is paradises on earth? Well there's diving, fusiliers (fish) and the hawittas, mysterious structures as yet unstudied by archaeologists said to surpass the famous Inca wall in Cuzco, Peru. If you're still unconvinced, then there's probably no hope for you.
