Multi-resort itineraries — 14 days

A split stay is when you divide your holiday between two different resorts in the Maldives. It’s a great way to experience two distinct vibes, house reefs, or dining scenes in a single trip.

You’ll need to submit a request to both resorts at least three days before your arrival in Malé. The resorts handle the paperwork and coordinate your transfer between properties. I can help you set this up—just message me on WhatsApp.

Worth recommending: seven nights at each resort for a 14-day trip. Anything shorter and you’ll spend too much time packing, unpacking, and adjusting to new surroundings. Seven nights gives you enough time to settle in and enjoy each resort without feeling rushed.

Transfers between resorts are usually by seaplane or speedboat, depending on the distance. If the resorts are in the same atoll, a speedboat transfer might take 20-30 minutes. If they’re in different atolls, a seaplane transfer could take 40-50 minutes. The resorts will arrange everything for you.

Yes, but Fede recommends choosing resorts that are close together to minimize transfer time. A 30-minute speedboat ride is manageable with kids; a 50-minute seaplane flight might be trickier. Pack snacks, entertainment, and a small carry-on with essentials for the transfer day.

The cost depends on the resorts you choose and the type of transfer. Seaplane transfers are more expensive than speedboat transfers, but the resorts will include the transfer cost in your package. Message me on WhatsApp for current rates and options.

Fede recommends starting your trip at a secluded, romantic resort like Jumeirah Dhevanafushi and ending it at a more social, lively resort like Soneva Jani. The contrast between the two will keep things exciting, and the transfer itself can be part of the adventure.

Pack a small carry-on with your essentials—swimsuits, sunscreen, a change of clothes, and any medications you might need. That way, you won’t have to dig through your suitcase when you arrive at the second resort. If you’re travelling with kids, bring snacks and entertainment for the ride.

Yes, split stays are permitted year-round, but transfers can be affected by weather, especially during the monsoon season (May to October). Seaplane flights may be delayed or rescheduled, so it’s important to build some flexibility into your itinerary. I can help you plan around this—just message me on WhatsApp.

Think about what you want to get out of each resort. Do you want one with a polished house reef and another with a more relaxed vibe? Or maybe one with a spa focus and another with a lively social scene? I can help you narrow down the options based on your preferences—just message me on WhatsApp.
