PCR TEST REQUIREMENT (ALL TOURISTS)

The Government of Maldives has issued a declaration that effective from March 13 2022, travelers are no longer required to present a PCR test result upon arrival to the Maldives. However, All individual(s) except tourists and Maldivians are recommended to undertake PCR testing between 3-5 days after arrival. Travelers who have symptoms of COVID-19 may take an antigen test. 
 
• Guests arriving from another island resort on a split stay arrangement are no longer required to produce a PCR result prior to arrival at the resort.
• On arrival, we will provide a PCR test request form to every guest, identifying those who require a further test before returning home. PCR tests will only be performed for guests who require a test prior to departure resulting from airline regulations or immigration rules of their home country. These tests will also be availed to symptomatic guests staying at the resort.
• Guests must advise of test requirements on arrival at the resort, as there are different rules for different airlines / countries. Sample will be taken 48 to 72 hours prior to departure and sent to the testing facility the same day. Guest will receive the test results via WhatsApp, Email, or SMS, depending on what method of communication they provided at the time. All related costs for PCR testing are borne by the guest, currently priced at $80 per PCR test, inclusive of 10% Service Charge & 12% GST per person.
• Onsite PCR testing: PCR test swabs are taken at the resort by a qualified medical team. The sample swab is then delivered to the health facility in Male for testing.

Extra Bed Charges:
Extra beds are charged a fee of USD90 per bed per day. Children under 12 stay for free on existing bedding only. 

Travel Insurance and Security Deposit at Check-In:
The resort highly recommends that all guests purchase travel insurance (one that includes cover for quarantine in the event of a positive PCR result) prior to departure, and collects a security deposit of no less than US$100 per room per day upon check-in as well as the full cost of the room for the whole stay if not already paid for. The final value will be determined based on length of stay, meal package, insurance cover and other booking specific details. The security deposit will be paid in cash or through pre-authorization on the guest's credit card, as is common practice worldwide.

Right to refuse accommodation:
Should a guest fail to comply with the aforementioned security deposit required by the resort, the resort reserves the right to refuse to check-in the guest. In such cases, the resort will not be held liable for any financial losses or inconvenience caused to the traveler or to the agent.

The resort is currently offering guests the choice of Feast (International buffet), Anchorage Bar & Restaurant (Mediterranean), Masala Hut (Indian), Baan Thai (Thai), Kakuni Hut (Caribbean), ChopstiX (Asian) and Sea Salt (Seafood), however it reserves to right to close any of the outlets during the pandemic, based on business levels.
