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.

Bodrum is a captivating Turkish resort city on the Aegean coast, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, stunning natural beauty and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Be enchanted by the town’s iconic, whitewashed houses with a blue trim, which cascade down the hillsides toward the sparkling sea. Explore the grand Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. Peter, which dominates the harbour and now houses the world-renowned Museum of Underwater Archaeology.

Further inland, delve into the ancient past at the site of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which was once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The peninsula boasts numerous bays and beaches, perfect for sailing, swimming and lazing in the sun. Be sure to sample renowned Aegean cuisine, including the ultra-fresh seafood and locally sourced mezes. End your trip with a visit to the ancient Myndos Gate, the final remnant of the city walls of ancient Halicarnassus.
