Getting There

There are direct flights to Male from the U.K. and these usually depart once a week with the large tour operators. First Choice, Thomas Cook and Monarch are to name but a few. These flights are ideal for your standard 7 and 14 night options but if you are looking for a twin centre or a different duration then airlines such as Emirates, Sri Lankan and Qatar offer flights almost daily. These types of flights do however involve a stopover.

Direct flying time from the U.K. to Male is approximately 10.5 hours.
