Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from January's cool stretch to April's warmth, with rain a little heavier around August and lighter around March — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In March, expect highs around 29°C with rain on roughly 8 days of the month.
Things to Do
The remote outer atolls, some of the least-visited places on Earth, are the main draw for the few travelers who make it here.
Local Cuisine
Try fresh reef fish and coconut-based dishes typical of the atolls.
