*************************************
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 might only be 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Consequently, it's possible that for 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child may have 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 due to safety reasons.
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only operated during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (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 by boat later.
