The Landing
Airstrip At Male Airport - An Island In Itself
Almost all
visitors get to the Maldives via plane typically, they arrive in
Male, the capital from their port of departure and from there will
be transferred to their resort. Transfers are usually via seaplane
or speedboat. Given the stunning scenery it’s always advisable to
arrive by seaplane where possible the views of the islands from the
air are nothing short of spectacular. When researching resorts and
prices it’s worth remembering that some packages will be quoted
with transfers built into the price while others will not. Transfers
can be quite pricey.
Some
resorts are located quite close to the airport in Male transfer
times can be under 20 minutes while other resorts further away may
take an hour or even two to reach depending on the type of transfer.
Keep in mind that after traveling a long distance on a flight, the
last thing that you’ll want to do is spend a further couple of
hours on a speedboat.
