Island time.
A few memorable bookings.
Settle into one island base, with five full days between the arrival and return transfers. Choose the experiences you most want, whether Ithaa dining, a spa booking or an optional whale-shark excursion. The lagoon and open resort days do not need appointments of their own.
Arrive through Malé, transfer to the resort and stay in one island base. Five full days leave room for the lagoon and a few booked experiences before the return transfer. This is a separate route from the Ithaafushi stay.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT
Choose the visit
that suits you.
Book the visits that determine the day, then give the gaps a purpose: lunch, the journey and a chance to sit down.
Alisha & MattArrange transfers before flights are fixed.
The resort needs your flight information to advise a workable connection. Transfer charges and baggage rules are separate from the room reservation.
Keep marine activities flexible.
Wind, sea conditions and wildlife determine what the outing can offer. Leave another day available if the operator proposes moving it.
Choose the meals you care about.
Reserve Ithaa and other priority restaurants, then check the current daily programme. Former benefits, set menus and event schedules are not assumed.
Confirm which clock is in use.
Ask the resort about island time and transfer appointments. The international flight remains tied to the airline’s departure time.
BEFORE YOU GOA few questions
A few questions
before you go.
Is this the same route as the Ithaafushi guide?
No. This route stays at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island for six nights. The separate Maldives guide uses Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.
Will we definitely see a whale shark?
No. It is a guided wildlife outing, with the actual experience dependent on sightings and sea conditions.
Can I combine this with the other guides?
Yes. Join the guides at the travel days, then count the hotel nights. One guide’s departure can be the next guide’s arrival, so adding all the day counts would give you time you do not actually have. Match the connections before booking.
