Hotel-independent transfer information (please note the transfer times valid for your hotel on your booking confirmation):
Speedboat: Scheduled for expected arrivals/departures from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Scheduled for expected arrivals/departures from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Scheduled for expected arrivals/departures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. The costs for this must be borne by the guest. Excluded are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or longer waiting times upon entry (in these cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
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, it may happen that only 1 or 2 large beds are available. Consequently, it may happen that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access are, for safety reasons, only bookable for travelers with children aged 7 and over.

Zusatzhinweis

All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the location of the island) are only carried out during the day. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
**************************************
The luggage limit 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 usually delivered by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools can be integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
