Is it safe to swim at Meedhoo Bikini Beach?

Swimming at Meedhoo Bikini Beach is generally safe during calm weather conditions. The beach features shallow, clear waters with gentle currents typical of Maldivian lagoons. However, always check local conditions before entering the water, as currents can vary with tides and seasons. The designated bikini beach area is separated from the main inhabited island, providing a comfortable environment for tourists. During monsoon season (May to October), waves may be stronger, so exercise caution and follow any posted warnings or local advice.

When is the best time to visit Meedhoo Bikini Beach?

December through March offers the most reliable weather with temperatures around 28-30°C. This period is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and beach activities. The wet season (May to October) brings more rain and wind, though travel is still possible with lower prices and fewer crowds. Visit during weekdays for a more tranquil experience, as local tourism peaks on weekends.
