Anyone know what times the seaplane flies out at? As well, is the STR Male airport lounge 24/7? Our flight from Abu Dhabi lands at 5:30am in Male and unsure about the details surrounding what our day will look like. I guess one of the pros is that we'll be amongst the first in the STR lounge and can bum around for some hours even if we'll be super tired.
Will they be offering any food and drink in the airport lounge?
We land April 23rd any info would be greatly appreciated

There is food and drink in the lounge, and they will manage your check-in while you wait.

The seaplanes schedule is planned day to day, but by the time you are likely to be through immigration and luggage claim it is probably getting light enough for the first operations. But you waiting time at the lounge will depend on when there are passengers to fill a seaplane. Not just for St Regis, but for the resorts enroute or close by as well.

There is a breakfast menu that includes several hot items including an egg sandwich. They will bring it out to you.

Making our first trip to the Maldives in mid-March and very excited. A few questions:
1) We're flying Qatar and have 9-ish hour layovers each way in Doha (evening/night outbound and overnight return). I booked the Oryx airport hotel each way. Is that the best option?
2) We're in SOWV and I've ready people struggling to get an umbrella from the resort. Shade is important for both of us. Has anyone tried packing a portable umbrella that clamps to a chair? Any other alternatives?
3) I know it's all about relaxation but any must do activities? The fishing looks interesting and we'll definitely be snorkeling. I'm an experienced scuba diver but reviews in here lead me to believe it's tough to get out to interesting sites with other experienced divers through the resort.
Thank you in advance for responses.
