The dry season runs from November to April — the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings the southwest monsoon but also lower rates and excellent diving on the eastern atolls. Many experienced travelers prefer the shoulder months of May and October for the best balance of value and weather.

Overwater villas offer direct lagoon access and iconic views, but beach villas often have larger footprints, private gardens, and easier access to resort facilities at a meaningfully lower price.

Both are excellent family choices. Dhigali is well-established with a proven kids' club and shallow lagoon areas well-suited to young children. Raaya is newer and more design-forward with a strong food and beverage offering. For a family with a toddler specifically, Dhigali's shallower lagoon and more relaxed pace tend to suit younger children slightly better — but both are worth serious consideration.
