Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operated for expected arrival/departure from 5:00 to 23:00 // Domestic flight: Operated for expected arrivals/departures from 9:30 to 16:00 // Seaplane: Operated for expected arrivals/departures from 9:00 to 15:00.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
There may be 1–2 intermediate stops during seaplane transfers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. Costs for this are to be borne by the guest. Exceptions include changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long wait times at immigration (in such cases, our local agency will take care of any necessary overnight accommodation).
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only conducted during daylight hours. Consequently, an overnight stay in Malé (near the airport) may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 5 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 later.
**************************************
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, it may be that only 1 or 2 large beds are available. It may therefore occur that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access are only bookable for travelers with children from 7 years of age for safety reasons.
