Good to know

The small print, in plain words

Arriving

Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 11:00. Early check-in and late check-out are usually possible — we request them with the booking.

Rates

Rates move by season, board basis and market, so we quote per enquiry rather than publish a nightly figure. Net or commissionable, whichever your agency works on.

Who you deal with

One contact in Malé owns the file end to end — the property, the transfers, and anything that moves once your clients land.
