Types of Transfers
The transfer options available to get to your luxury hotel really depend on where your resort is located in Maldives. Kindly send your arrival and departure details to World Wide Travels.in and we will do the needful. If your Island Resort is located close enough to Malé, you can reach an island by a speedboat. We at World Wide Travels.in will organizes a private / shared speedboat transfer to pick you up from Male International Airport and immediately following to the hotel.
For those destinations that are located in the far atolls, which are a long distance from Male, you need to book a transfer by seaplane. Seaplanes operate only in the daytime, so when booking a transfer to / from Male some planning is required by World Wide Travels.in.
Travelling in a seaplane is an experience in itself. The ultimate in Maldivian luxury is to arrive at your resort by seaplane and come with the price tag of anything up to 700USD$ to $1000USD$ approx. per person dependent on the distance to fly. These planes fly tourists from the seaplane port next to Malé International Airport to a variety of resorts. This air travel can become the most scenic journeys in your life! The seaplane transfer to your hotel from Male’ airport impresses with breath-taking views of the Maldives’ unique scenery. The seaplane terminal is located near Male international airport. Upon arrival, guests are graciously welcomed by resort' staff and escorted to a special seaplane terminal lounge, where an array of complimentary refreshments and light snacks await a short flight away. Maldivian Air Taxi and Trans Maldivian are the two airline operators of seaplanes. Do not forget your photo / video camera! Rest all will be taken care by World Wide Travels.in
Seaplanes operate during daylight hours only, i.e. between approximately 6.00 am and 5.00 pm (local Maldivian time). However, schedules vary depending on the arrival and departure times of all guests on that given day.
You must arrive into Male before 3:00 p.m. in order to catch a same day Seaplane transfer. Guests arriving on an international flight that cannot connect to the last seaplane of the day to an island (usually departing no later than approximately 4.00 pm) may choose to overnight in nearby Male’ city at their own cost same can be arranged by World Wide Travels.in
