Services
The work we do for clients from the first enquiry to the day you fly home.
Concierge Travel
A human in direct contact before, during and after your stay.
We hold direct relationships with every resort on Velara. We know which villa numbers to ask for, who to speak to about the manta dive window, and how to move things if your reef goes quiet. The work happens before you arrive and continues until you fly home.
- ● Property selection and bespoke shortlist
- ● Best-rate guarantee against any direct booking
- ● In-resort daily liaison
- ● Restaurant, spa, and excursion bookings handled
- ● 24/7 support during travel
VIP Airport Transfer
Off the plane to the seaplane lounge in fifteen minutes. Always.
Velana International is busy. We pre-arrange fast-track immigration, baggage handling, and a dedicated host who meets you at the gate. From there, you are walked to the seaplane terminal lounge while your luggage is taken care of separately.
- ● Fast-track immigration on arrival and departure
- ● Personal host from the gate
- ● Lounge access at the seaplane terminal
- ● Baggage handled door to villa
First & Business Class Flights
70% of our guests fly First or Business. We book those.
We work with specialist flight partners to source competitive First and Business Class fares on airlines including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways and British Airways, with routes and arrival times chosen to suit your Maldives stay and onward resort transfer.
Availability changes regularly, with the best opportunities often appearing within six weeks of departure. Earlier options may be available, so we consider each journey individually.
When we find a suitable option, we’ll confirm the itinerary and fare with you before proceeding. These fares require prompt ticketing to secure; once issued, you’ll receive your confirmed booking and airline ticket number.
- ● First and Business Class options across major airlines
- ●
Routes and arrival times planned around your resort transfer
- ● Specialist fares, subject to availability
- ●
Lounge access and chauffeur services where included in your fare
Private Jet Transfer
When the seaplane window does not work, we charter direct.
Some atolls are out of seaplane range, or out of seaplane hours. Some guests prefer not to share their transfer. For both, we charter direct from MLE to the resort's domestic strip, by private jet or turboprop, day or night.
- ● Charter to any domestic airstrip
- ● Night-time arrival capability
- ● Full party privacy
- ● Co-ordinated with resort speedboat for final leg
