The destination
The Maldives is one of the longest private jet trips regularly flown from the UK, and one where the aircraft and the timings need planning together with the resort transfer.
Almost all flights arrive at Velana International (VRMM) in Malé, the hub for seaplane and speedboat transfers. Some resorts in the northern atolls are closer to Maafaru (VRDA), and Gan (VRMG) serves the far south.
The dry season from November to April is the peak, with Christmas, New Year and the February half term the busiest weeks. May to October is wetter but quieter, and resort rates are lower.
London to the Maldives takes around 10 hours 30 minutes on an ultra long range jet, usually with one fuel stop. Seaplanes only fly in daylight, so we plan your arrival time around the transfer to your island.
