Places to Visit in the Maldives in June
1. Hulhumale

Hulhumale, a public island located in the south of the North Male Atoll is one of the best places in Maldives to witness the local culture. Hulhumale Island is also a hub of water sports activities with certified water sports centres like Beach Club Maldives, Dune Maldives diving centre, Just Saltwater sports etc. The western side of an atoll is best for scuba diving during this time as the incoming currents cause water to rise in the deep ocean and flow into the shallow atoll which means greater visibility, slightly cooler water and better chances at seeing pelagic fishes.
One of the very few 'Bikini OK' public beaches can be found in Rasdhoo Island, which is blessed with immense natural beauty and welcoming locals. Spend some quality time bathing under the sun wearing the clothes of your choice here on Bikini Beach. This capital of Alif Alif atoll also offers some amazing snorkelling and diving opportunities. The atoll has been called a 'Fish soup' for the diverse creatures that exist in the waters around it.
