Alternatively you can
- request a speed boat/domestic flight flight transfer on the way back.
There used to be a late afternoon/evening flight from a nearby local island, suitable for late international flight e.g. EY
- spend some time at the crossroads marina, scheduled speed boat from Male 50$ return, ( 1$ ferry to get to Male from Airport, runs every 10minutes. There are also some speedboats going directly to crossroads from Airport, no fixed schedule, taking guests to the Curio Saii or Hardrock Hotel, charged the same price, but you have to contact crossroads to arrange transfer.
