Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operation for expected arrival/departure from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Operation expected for arrivals/departures from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Operation expected for arrivals/departures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
Seaplane transfers may include 1–2 stopovers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. The costs for this are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times at immigration (in such cases, 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 currently most domestic flights are only carried out during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes/domestic flights is 20 kg + 3 kg hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 7 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated into the open living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
Most rooms in the Maldives are equipped with one or two queen/king beds. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be 1 or 2 large beds available. Accordingly, it may happen that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
