Sample itineraries

Four, five or seven nights

These are samples to show how a stay of each length tends to run. They are not fixed packages: we build yours around your resort, your flight times and what you want to do.

The most common length, with room for one big day out.

  1. Day 1

    Arrive and exhale

    Land in Malé, transfer to your island, and do nothing more ambitious than the sunset from your deck.

  2. Day 2

    The house reef

    Snorkel early, when the water is clearest. The afternoon is for the villa.

  3. Day 3

    A sandbank to yourselves

    A picnic on a strip of sand in the lagoon, and a long swim back at the resort.

  4. Day 4

    Out on the water

    A lazy morning, then a boat at golden hour to look for dolphins.

  5. Day 5

    A day with no plan

    Spa, pool, book. Dinner on the deck when you feel like it.

  6. Day 6

    One last swim

    Breakfast, a final dip, and your transfer back to Malé timed to your flight.

Arrival day depends on your flightSeaplanes fly in daylight only, about 6am to 4pm, so we match your flight to the resort's transfer window.
