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.
Prepare to discover Moscow, a legendary and cosmopolitan city that seamlessly blends a thousand years of history with a dynamic, modern atmosphere.
Begin your exploration in the historic heart of the city, Red Square, a magnificent open space surrounded by monumental architecture. You can admire the commanding red-brick walls of the Kremlin, the ancient fortified complex that remains the official residence of the Russian President. Nearby, browse the majestic GUM, a celebrated 19th-century department store that now houses luxury boutiques and dining options within its elegant covered galleries. For a unique cultural experience, you must journey into the Moscow Metro. This renowned subway system is often called an "underground palace" due to its stunning, art-filled stations. You will be captivated by the ornate chandeliers, grand sculptures, and intricate mosaics that decorate historic stops like Ploshchad Revolyutsii and Komsomolskaya, which make exploring the Metro an unmissable part of your visit.
