Reservations do need to be made well in advance around peak season and also around Easter. Rates are least expensive from May through September.Transfers to resorts in the Maldives are by seaplane, speedboat, or a combination of domestic flight and speedboat. Resorts closest to the airport are accessed by speedboat operated 24-hours a day. Resorts outside of speedboat range are accessed via seaplane. Seaplanes only fly during daylight hours so if your international flight arrives after 5:00 PM you will need to overnight at an airport hotel before flying to your resort the following morning.
