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. Excluded are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times at immigration (our local agency will take care of any necessary overnight stay in such cases).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as most domestic flights currently, are only carried out during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage 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 usually delivered 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, it may be that only 1 or 2 large beds are 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.
