Highlights
- Speedboat or seaplane to your resort
- Two nights in a beach villa, two in a water villa
- Snorkelling on the house reef
- Sunset cruise
- Sandbank picnic
- Private beach dinner
One resort, two room types: you start in a beach villa and finish over the water, without a second transfer eating into the trip. The resort is matched to your flight times, because the seaplane only flies in daylight. Excursions are spread out so every day has some time with nothing planned.
Day-wise itinerary
Day 1: Arrive at Malé, transfer to your resort
Our representative meets you at Velana airport and takes you to the resort’s transfer desk. Speedboat or seaplane to the island, welcome drink and check-in to a beach villa. Afternoon on the beach.
Day 2: Reef and lagoon day
A morning snorkelling trip on the house reef or by boat with the resort’s dive centre. The afternoon is yours: spa, pool or a nap in the shade.
Day 3: Move to the water villa
Shift to an overwater villa after breakfast, so you get both kinds of room in one stay. In the evening, a sunset cruise, with a fair chance of spotting dolphins.
Day 4: Sandbank picnic, then a private dinner
A morning boat out to a sandbank for a few hours on your own. In the evening, a candlelit dinner on the beach set up by the resort.
Day 5: Departure
A last swim, check-out and transfer back to Malé for your flight.
Seaplane or speedboat resort?
Speedboat resorts in the Malé atolls are the safer choice if your flight lands in the late afternoon or evening, and they cost less to reach. Seaplane resorts are further out, quieter, and the flight itself is a highlight, but you need to land at Malé by about 3:30 pm or stay a night in Hulhumalé first.
We suggest resorts based on your flight times and budget, and confirm the meal plan, the green tax and the transfer cost in one figure.
