In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For a occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may be a total of only 1 or 2 large beds available. Consequently, it is possible that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child may have to sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children aged 7 and above due to safety reasons.
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) operate only during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
