All Months
October through April gives you the best weather, with calm seas and clear skies dominating most days. December and January are peak months — expect perfect 28°C temperatures and gentle breezes, but also higher prices and fuller resorts. November and February offer the sweet spot: great weather with fewer crowds and slightly better rates. March and April start getting warmer, hitting 32°C, but the water stays perfect for swimming and diving. The monsoon runs May through September, bringing rough seas that cancel most boat transfers and flights. Many resorts close entirely during this period. But here's something interesting: April can be spectacular if you don't mind heat. The coral spawning happens around this time, creating underwater snowstorms that divers love. Water visibility peaks in December and January, reaching 40 meters on calm days. Wind patterns matter too — northeast monsoon winds from October to March keep seas calmer on the western sides of islands.
