Hotels in South Male Atoll, Maldives

South Male Atoll sits just south of the Maldivian capital, with a tropical climate that stays warm year-round (around 82°F / 28°C). You'll find it famous for its untouched sandbanks and world-class surf breaks-the dry season from December to April is peak time for diving with manta rays at Vaavu Atoll, while the wetter months from May to November bring bigger waves for surfers at spots like the 'Jails' break. If you visit in the green season, you can score cheaper stays and spot whale sharks off the reef, and during the dry season, you're set for snorkeling in the crystal-clear Indian Ocean near Guraidhoo.
