Shot in Fasbadhuruva

4 shoots across 2 islands

The second Badhuruva; the hottest, driest stretch of the year. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Fasbadhuruva for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.

For photographs: blazing light and no cloud. Sunsets go from gold to deep coral. Iruvai is the peak season, so book the date early — I hold a quote for five days.
