Hotelhinweis

Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operated for estimated arrival/departure between 5 am and 11 pm // Domestic flight: Operated for arrivals/departures between 9:30 am and 4 pm // Seaplane: Operated for arrivals/departures between 9 am and 3 pm.
Waiting 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 are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or extended waiting times for entry (in such cases, our local agent will arrange an overnight stay if 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 be only 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Consequently, it may happen that for 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 years and older for safety reasons.

Zusatzhinweis

All flight transfers as well as most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only carried out during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Malé (near the airport) 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 even bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
