RESORTS CLOSE TO MALÉ WORK BEST FOR WEEKEND TRIPS
Fixed timings for seaplane and boat transfers mean you could end up spending anywhere between one to four hours at the airport, losing the day in transit. But, a host of hotels are just a quick zip from Malé. Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives, Pullman Maldives Maamutaa, One&Only Reethi Rah, VARU by Atmosphere and OZEN Reserve Bolifushi are some of the resorts that are 15-40 mins away by speedboat. If you choose a hotel that is a seaplane ride away, check if they can schedule it according to your flight timings.
NOT ALL RESORTS COVER YOUR SEAPLANE/BOAT TRANSFER COST
A seaplane transfer could cost anywhere from $270 (₹19,778) to $450 (₹32,964). Don’t forget to check if a complimentary seaplane ride or boat transfer is part of your deal. Some resorts like The Nautilus Maldives have private seaplane charters for guests flying into Velana International Airport ($7,500/₹5,47,875).
