I'm planning a trip to the Maldives and want to get the best value. When should I book and travel to get the lowest rates? Are there specific months that are significantly cheaper?

Shoulder season (May–June and November) offers the best value — expect 20–35% lower rates than peak season. Book 90–120 days out for the best availability on popular overwater villas. Many resorts also offer early-bird discounts for stays booked 6+ months in advance. The absolute cheapest months are May and early June, right at the start of the wet season — the weather is still mostly fine and you can save 40% or more.
