Hotelhinweis

Transfer information independent of the hotel:
Speedboat: Expected for arrivals/departures from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM // Domestic flight: Expected for arrivals/departures from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM // Seaplane: Expected for arrivals/departures from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Wait times of 3 hours or more for onward transfers are possible.
Seaplane transfers may include 1–2 stopovers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. Costs are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long wait times at immigration (in such cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
Seaplane flights, most boat transfers (depending on the location of the island), and currently most domestic flights only operate during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Malé may be necessary.
**************************************
Baggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 3 kg hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered by boat at a later time.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated into the open living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
Most rooms in the Maldives are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For 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.
