Your stop-by-stop itinerary

2 stops across 7 nights. Each one chosen so you experience a different side of Maldives.

Malé

1 night

Fly into Velana International Airport (MLE)

Highlights

Malé Friday Mosque
Malé Fish Market at dawn
National Museum of the Maldives
Hulhumale Island beach (near airport)

Local tips

💡Malé is just a transit point for most — your seaplane or speedboat to the resort leaves from here
💡Confirm your resort transfer timing the moment you land
💡Keep your luggage under 20kg for seaplane transfers — weight limits are strict

Suggested stay: Airport transit hotel near Velana Airport

Resort Island

6 nights

Seaplane transfer (30-60 min, spectacular views) or speedboat

Highlights

House reef snorkelling with turtles, reef sharks, and manta rays
Dolphin cruise at sunset
Glass-bottom kayak on the lagoon
Sandbank picnic excursion
Night snorkelling with bioluminescence

Local tips

💡The house reef is often better than day trips — snorkel every morning at high tide
💡All-inclusive is usually better value than à la carte in the Maldives
💡Kids under 12 often get massive discounts at resorts — negotiate directly with the property
💡Book snorkelling excursions on day 1 as they fill up quickly

Suggested stay: Family overwater bungalow or beach villa at a mid-range resort
