The rich house reef is about 300-400 m away and easily accessible via a jetty. The transfer takes approximately 20-25 minutes by domestic flight with FlyMe to Maamigili Island Airport, about 5 minutes by minibus to the boat jetty, and another 10 minutes by boat (Dhoni).

*****************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For a double occupancy with 1 or 2 children, there may be only 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Consequently, it's 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 years and older due to safety reasons.
**************************************
All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only conducted during daylight hours. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
**************************************
