Good to know

Common questions

Is a seaplane transfer mandatory?

Not necessarily. Resorts closer to Malé utilize luxury speedboats, while remote atolls require our scenic seaplane routing.

How do I choose between family or couples resorts?

Our concierge will match you. We utilize multi-generational islands for active families, and adults-only boutiques for absolute privacy.
