By domestic flight transfer:
Domestic flights operate between Velana International Airport (MLE) and the neighboring Villa Airport Maamigili (VAM). To arrange your domestic flight transfer, please let us know at least five days in advance. Provide us with the complete name of the guest(s) traveling as per the passport, the gender and age of any children, and your arrival and departure details (international arrival and departure flight numbers, name of the hotel that you will be staying at before or after your stay with us, and so on).
The pick-up and drop-off point for the transfer is the VAM airport, and you will need to return to the VAM airport for your transfer to the resort if you are already at another place in the Maldives before your arrival at our resort.
The exact domestic flight timings can only be confirmed the evening before your scheduled arrival or departure because flights are operated by a third-party company that prepares the schedule the evening before your travel to and from the resort. The resort is not responsible for any supplementary charges incurred due to the transfer being canceled by the service provider.
Upon arrival at Velana International Airport (MLE), our Airport Team will welcome you and escort you to the Domestic Terminal, where you can check in for your domestic transfer and wait for the airplane’s departure. The waiting time for the domestic flight transfer is approximately two hours from the time of check-in and is dependent on airline operations and weather conditions. Once the airplane is ready for boarding and departure, you may follow the instructions of the airport and airline staff. The airplane flight is a direct flight between the MLE airport and the VAM airport. The domestic flight journey takes approximately 30 minutes each way.
Once you have arrived at Villa Airport Maamigili (VAM), you will be received by our Front Office Team, and they will escort you to the speedboat. From there, it is a 15-minute speedboat ride to the Radisson Blu Resort Maldives.
The domestic transfer fee is USD 510 per adult (age 12 years and above), USD 300 per child (ages between two and 11 years), and complimentary for infants (age below two years) sitting on a parent’s lap for the round trip. The fee can be settled upon check-out from the resort. The baggage allowance per person age two years and above is 25 kilograms checked luggage and five kilograms hand luggage. Excess baggage will be charged an additional USD 4.48 per kilogram. For any individual baggage piece, the linear dimension must not exceed 158 centimeters, and the weight must not exceed 32 kilograms. Infants do not have a baggage allowance.
A lounge facility is available at the Domestic Terminal for an additional charge of USD 22.40 net per guest, per visit. Lounge service must be booked 24 hours in advance and is subject to availability.
