For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. These costs are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions include changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or longer waiting times during immigration (in these cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
The minimum age at the hotel is 10 years.
*******************************
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as 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 + 3 kg hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for locally (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered later 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. With an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be a total of 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.
*************************************
Please note that for safety reasons, rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children aged 7 and older.
