    How do I get to OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort?

    Maafushivaru is located 96 km southwest from Velana International Airport, the main international airport in the Maldives’ capital city, Male.

    Yes! You will be greeted with a personalized welcome by OUTRIGGER hosts upon exiting the Immigration Customs and entering the Arrivals Hall. Your hosts will then escort you to the seaplane check-in counter and taken to a comfortable lounge to wait for your seaplane connection to Maafushivaru.

    Our resort is beach front

    Seaplane Transfer

    The OUTRIGGER Maldives experience begins with your arrival at Male International Airport where our airport representative will meet you at the exit of the arrival gate, holding a board displaying "OUTRIGGER". If our hosts are attending to other guests during, you can also walk into our dedicated counter (counter number C1) located in front of the arrival hall. They will escort you directly to the Trans Maldivian Airways Terminal (TMA - Seaplane Service Provider) for your check-in procedure. The transfer will be shared with other passengers and a short waiting time may be required if other passengers are expected. Every effort will be made to arrange your resort transfer within 2 to 3 hours of arriving at the lounge. Your seaplane journey will be approximately 25 minutes and will allow you to sight the beauty of Maldivian arche resort to the airport.

    All seaplane journeys are operated by TMA only during daylight hours as per aviation standard. To arrange Seaplane transfers, your outbound flight must arrive in the Maldives between 06:00 am and 3:30 pm, and an Inbound flight from the Maldives must depart between 09:15 am and 11:00 pm. To catch the last seaplane transfer for the day, the guests must be reported to the TMA check-in counter at the airport by 4:00 pm at the latest. After Landing at Velanaa International Airport and finishing all the immigration processes, guests who are not able to check in at the seaplane counter latest 4 pm will be required to stay overnight in Malé. We recommend booking a hotel within proximity to the airport.

    Seaplane reservations are only available for bookings made outside 72 hours, subject to tides, weather conditions & TMA's terms & conditions. OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort is not responsible for poor tides, weather, and sea conditions causing the journey impossible to operate at the scheduled times (canceled/delayed transfer services), and the charges will be non-refundable.

    The operator provides the resort with transfer schedules in the evening of each day for the arrival and departure on the following day. As such, all schedule timings are solely at the discretion of the seaplane management. Each guest is allowed 20 kg of checked luggage and 5 kg of hand luggage. Any excess is subject to the additional fees to be paid directly to the seaplane operator.

    Occasionally your flight may have a stop on route to drop off and pick up passengers at other resorts. We will endeavor to provide you with the most direct route, subject to availability and the required connecting time of your international flight, or onward transfer arrangements.

    All Transfers by Seaplane are arranged according to the international flight schedule

    Following the recent official announcement by the Government of the Maldives, effective from March 13, 2022, all guests arriving to the Maldives are no longer required to present pre-arrival PCR test result. This applies to unvaccinated guests as well.

    All arriving and departing passengers via airports and seaports are still required to complete the Traveler Health Declaration form within 48 hours to the flight time: https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv
