Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Scheduled for expected arrival/departure from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Scheduled for arrivals/departures from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Scheduled for arrivals/departures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
There may be 1–2 intermediate stops during seaplane transfers.
For arrivals/departures outside of these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. Costs are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times during immigration (our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as current domestic flights, only operate during daylight hours. An overnight stay in Malé may therefore be necessary.
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. With an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be a total of 1 or 2 large beds available. Accordingly, it may happen that when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children are in a room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as current domestic flights, only operate during daylight hours. An overnight stay in Malé may therefore be necessary.
**************************************
The luggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 3 kg of hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is generally delivered by boat at a later time.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools can be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access are only bookable for travelers with children aged 7 and older for safety reasons.
