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.

Malta is a captivating Mediterranean archipelago, a small country with a history spanning thousands of years. Prepare to explore this island nation, which boasts the world's densest concentration of historical monuments.

Discover Valletta, the UNESCO World Heritage capital city. This expertly planned hub is rich in impressive Baroque architecture and ancient fortifications. Just a short trip away is Mdina, known as the 'Silent City'. Wander through its medieval and Baroque streets to experience a car-free environment. You can also take in panoramic views from the city's ancient walls, and admire the stunning coastline.

Venture beyond the mainland to reach the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. For a taste of local culture, indulge in a delicious pastizzi, a savoury pastry with ricotta or spiced pea fillings, found across the island.
