Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
What's the weather like in the Maldives in May?
The Maldives are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, to the southwest of Sri Lanka and India. This means the island country has a tropical monsoon climate so temperatures are high all year round and the amount of rain changes a lot. The dry season’s from November to April, and May’s the start of the wet season that lasts until October. You'll have quite a bit of rain if you're going in May, although it doesn’t usually rain for long and you'll still get plenty of hot and sunny weather.
Averages
The average high in the capital, Malé, is 31ºC in May, so it’s a great time to go if you love the heat. Things stay nice and warm in the evenings as the temperature only cools to 26ºC. At 30ºC, the sea’s perfect for swimming, while humidity’s very high. There’s 211mm of rain over 15 days, but you can still expect 12 hours of daylight with eight hours of sunshine each day. Bring plenty of sun cream with you as UV levels will be extremely high. The sun goes down just after 6.10pm.
