In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. With a double occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, it may be that only 1 or 2 large beds are available in total. Accordingly, 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 aged 7 and over due to safety reasons.
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only carried out during the day. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
