Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. // Domestic (inland flight): Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Operation expected for arrivals/departures between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
There may be 1–2 intermediate stops for seaplane transfers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. Costs for this are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times during immigration (in such cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the location of the island) as well as currently most domestic flights are only carried out during the day. It may therefore be necessary to have an overnight stay in Male.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes/domestic flights is 20 kg + 3 kg carry-on per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 7 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered later by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even 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. With an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Accordingly, it may occur that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
