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.

Experience the vibrant spirit of Miami, where the sun meets the sea on Florida’s glistening coastline. The city's always buzzing with life, bringing you endless opportunities to create unforgettable memories.

Start your journey in South Beach, famous for its golden sands, turquoise waters and striking Art Deco architecture. Stroll along Ocean Drive, where you'll be surrounded by pastel-coloured buildings and towering palm trees. For a day of rest and relaxation, make your way to Lummus Park, boasting sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. To admire Miami's natural beauty, unwind at the lush Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, or take an airboat tour to discover the unique ecosystem of Everglades National Park. You can also stop by Miami Seaquarium to see interactive marine exhibits and daily shows.

For a dose of creative energy, explore Wynwood Walls, an open-air museum showcasing colourful street art and murals by renowned artists.
