To our hotel: Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is just a 30-minute private yacht ride from Velana Male International Airport, and can be reached 24 hours a day. Upon entering the airport arrivals hall, you will be met by a member of the resort Concierge team who will accompany you to your yacht transfer and assist you in all aspects of your arrival. The Concierge team will also provide this service upon departure at the end of your stay.
A shared transfer on the resort's private yacht is charged at US$350 + taxes and service per person per way. This charge will be added to your total bill. Please e-mail
[email protected] for more information or to arrange your transfer.
From Velana International Airport: 30 minute yacht ride from Velana Male International Airport (24 km). Exit Airport terminal, walk distance of 100 meters to the jetty
Charging as much for a 30 min "yacht" ride as the StR charges for a 45 min seaplane transfer is certainly an interesting pricing strategy...
