Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM // Domestic flight: Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM // Seaplane: Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfers are possible.
There may be 1–2 intermediate stops during seaplane transfers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. Costs for this are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes caused by flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times during immigration (in these cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) and currently most domestic flights only operate during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 5 kg hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered subsequently by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, it may be that only 1 or 2 large beds are available in total. Accordingly, it may occur that when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children share a room, one child must sleep in the parents' bed.
