The Rindali Guest House is situated on the island of Maaenboodhoo within the Dhaalu Atoll, the central atoll of the Maldives. The Rindali Guest House is approximately 178.8 kilometers from Velana International Airport. Due to its distance from Velana International Airport and the capital city of the Maldives, the Rindali Guest House offers limited transportation options.

The Rindali Guest House does not provide its own transportation services.

PAYMENT FOR SPEED BOAT / DOMESTIC FLIGHT TICKETS:

Should you select speedboat ferry as the transfer option, and the number of guests is between 1 and 2, we can process payment for the ferry ticket and book the ticket. The guest can remit the payment upon their arrival at our hotel. However, if the group exceeds this limit, we require advance payment to secure the ferry ticket, as the ferry operator does not offer credit sales. If you prefer to make payment via credit card, we can provide you with an online link from our mPOS machine, which you can utilize to complete the payment online using a credit card. If you opt for a domestic flight as your preferred transfer option, it is imperative to make the payment in advance to secure your flight ticket, as the airline do not offer credit sales. If you opt to make payment via credit card a 3.5% bank charge will be applied to every credit card payment.

CHOOSING YOUR INTERNATIONAL ARRIVAL FLIGHT:

Due to the limited frequency of speedboat ferry services, it is crucial to select your international arrival flight accordingly. If you wish to opt for the speedboat transfer option, we recommend choosing an international arrival flight that arrives before 9:30 a.m. on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. If you arrive on any other date in the Maldives and still need to choose the speedboat transfer option to arrive at our hotel, you will be required to remain in Male until the next ferry operating day. Thus, if you arrive in Maldives on any Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday, we suggest you stay that night in Male. The following day, you can catch the ferry departing to Rindali at 11:30 a.m.

STAY DURATION:

Given the distance from Male and the limited transfer options, we strongly advise against selecting our hotel for shorter stays. Optimal stay durations are recommended to be between 5 and 10 days.is a beach on the island that is dedicated to tourists and offers the opportunity to wear bikinis.
