  • Prices: Peak rates for flights and resorts; book 3-4 months ahead for better deals, avoid Christmas and New Year weeks.

Shoulder season
May, November

  • Weather: Transitional conditions at 26–30 °C with 8–12 rainy days monthly; mornings often clear for diving, brief afternoon showers, calmer seas than mid-monsoon months.
