Your journey begins at Velana International Airport (MLE), the gateway to the Maldives and a remarkably beautiful departure point surrounded by brilliant blue water. Enjoy a comfortable travel experience at this easy-to-navigate international hub.

Getting to the airport involves travelling on water since it's located on its own island, without land connections to Malé city. Speedboats are the most common mode of transport, alongside local water taxis known as dhonis, which bring you directly to the terminal. You can also take a transfer by seaplane.

Once inside the terminal, you'll find several facilities to explore before your flight. You can relax in the lounge area or browse retail outlets for any last-minute purchases. Shop local goods, luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery. Stay connected using the complimentary internet kiosks situated in the duty-free area, near gates 1, 2 and 3. You can easily find the prayer room inside the terminal, or access one of the two mosques just five minutes’ walk from the airport.

Geneva is a distinguished global centre for diplomacy and finance, perfectly situated between the majestic Alpine peaks and the vast, serene waters of Lake Geneva. This compact city offers a compelling blend of rich heritage and cosmopolitan flair. You should explore the historic Old Town, known for its charming cobblestone streets and small, intriguing squares. Geneva is also celebrated for its commitment to art and history, hosting excellent cultural institutions like the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain and the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle. The city’s international flavour is evident in its diverse range of dining and shopping. Be sure to explore the waterfront, featuring the famous flower clock. The ultimate sight on the water is the iconic Jet d'Eau, which dramatically shoots water 140 metres high into the air.
