Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Expected for arrivals/departures between 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. // Domestic flight: Expected for arrivals/departures between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. // Seaplane: Expected for arrivals/departures between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
Seaplane transfers may include 1–2 stopovers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. The costs for this must be borne by the guest. Exceptions apply for changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times at customs/immigration (in these cases, our local agency will handle any necessary overnight accommodation).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the location of the island), as well as currently most domestic flights, only operate during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male may be required.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes/domestic flights is 20 kg + 3 kg of hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 7 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered later by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly in 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. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be a total of 1 or 2 large beds available. Consequently, when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children are in one room, a child may have to sleep in the parents' bed.
