Hotels in Ari Atoll, Maldives

Ari Atoll is a ring of coral islands in the Maldives, boasting a warm tropical climate year-round with dry winters (November to April) perfect for diving with whale sharks and manta rays in the Indian Ocean, and wetter summers (May to October) ideal for surfing or exploring local fishing villages. During the dry season, you can snorkel at South Ari Atoll's marine protected areas, while the rainy months offer lower rates and fewer tourists. No matter when you visit, the consistent water temperatures in the 80s F (around 28 C) make for comfortable swimming and kayaking.
