pleasenote***Mandatory domestic flight transfer from Male Int'l Airport to Gan Int'l Airport (including Speedboat Transfer to the resort) is provided by the hotel with charges. Please advise flight details in advance. The Shangri-La hospitality envelops guests as they disembark from international flight at Male airport. Guests are then escorted by the Shangri-La host into the relaxing domestic airport lounge before taking the connecting flight to Addu Atoll. As air-conditioned domestic flights from Male to Gan Airport operate round the clock, guests no longer need to waste their vacation time due to the limited operation of seaplanes, which are required to access other resorts. The resort is just an eight-minute boat ride away from Gan, and is also accessible by private jet which can land at the newest Gan International Airport.
