Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operated for expected arrivals/departures between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Operated for expected arrivals/departures between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Operated for expected arrivals/departures between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Wait times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
Seaplane transfers may include 1–2 intermediate stops.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Malé must be booked in advance. The 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 handle any necessary overnight accommodation).
Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as current domestic flights, are only operated during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Malé may be necessary.
*************************************
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 1 or 2 large beds available. Accordingly, it may happen that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, one child must sleep in the parents' bed. Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location), as well as current domestic flights, are only operated during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Malé 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 generally delivered by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, washbasins or bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
Please note that for safety reasons, rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children aged 7 and older.
