What to do if you arrive at Malé airport late at night and miss the transfer to your Maldives island resort?

If your flight lands in Malé at around 10 pm, confirm the transfer timetable with your island hotel or guesthouse in advance. Night transfers may not operate, so you may need to stay overnight.

For an overnight stay before a morning transfer, consider Hulhumalé; it is recommended as a calmer alternative to staying in central Malé.

When booking a Hulhumalé hotel, look for one with airport pickup and a return transfer to the speedboat departure point, making the next-day connection easier.
