Note

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operation for approx. arrival/departure from 5 am to 11 pm // Domestic (inland flight): Operation approx. for arrivals/departures from 9:30 am to 4 pm // Seaplane: Operation expected for arrivals/departures from 9 am to 3 pm.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
With seaplane transfers, there may be 1-2 intermediate landings.
For arrivals/departures outside the above times, in case of bad weather or longer waiting times upon entry, an overnight stay in Malé may be necessary.
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) and currently mostly domestic flights are only operated during the day. Therefore, an overnight stay in Malé may be required.
**************************************
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 by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, washbasins or bathtubs/whirlpools may be openly integrated into the living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may be only 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Consequently, it may happen that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child has to sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children from the age of 7 for safety reasons.
