In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For a double occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may be only 1 or 2 large beds 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 with children aged 7 and above for safety reasons.
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on island location) are only carried out during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
