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. Exceptions apply for changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times at immigration (in which case our local agency will assist with 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, there may only be a total of 1 or 2 large beds available. Consequently, it may happen that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************

Zusatzhinweis

All flight transfers as well as most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are operated only during daylight hours. This may result in an overnight stay in Male (near the airport).
**************************************
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 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.
