Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Scheduled for arrivals/departures from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Scheduled for arrivals/departures from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Scheduled for arrivals/departures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfers are possible.
There may be 1–2 stops during the seaplane transfer.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. The costs for this must be borne by the guest. Exceptions apply to changes caused by flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times during immigration (in such cases, our local agency will handle any necessary overnight accommodation).
Seaplane flights, most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), and currently most domestic flights operate only during daylight hours. Consequently, an overnight stay in Male may be necessary.
*************************************
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.
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king beds. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, it is possible that only a total of 1 or 2 large beds are available. Consequently, when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children are in a room, a child may have to sleep in the parents' bed! An extra bed cannot be guaranteed in advance and is provided on-site subject to availability.
