Almost all visitors get to the Maldives via plane, arrive in Male, the capital, and from there will be transferred to their resort – usually via seaplane  or speedboat. Given the stunning scenery it’s always advisable to arrive by seaplane as 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 so 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.

Here’s a list of hotels with airport transfers.

If your transfer is not via seaplane it is possible to ride in a seaplane during your stay and get some stunning photos of the islands and atolls from high above.
