Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru Enhances Arrival Experience with New Seaplane and Island Café
Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is set to provide guests with an exceptional arrival experience this year, thanks to the introduction of two exciting new features. The first is The Flying Boxfish, a customised premium seaplane that joins Four Seasons’ private fleet of seaplanes in the Maldives. This is the second marine-themed aircraft to be added to the fleet, following the launch of The Flying Triggerfish in 2019. The Flying Boxfish features a striking yellow and black spotted livery and can accommodate up to ten passengers. It provides private seaplane transfers from Velana International Airport to Landaa Giraavaru, a scenic 35-minute flight from Malé, situated in the secluded Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
The second exciting addition is The Island Café, a Landaa haven located in the new Seaplane Terminal at Velana International Airport. The Island Café is a retreat with a wrap-around balcony, revitalising dining options, areas for lounging, dining, resting, and refreshing. It also has a play area and an observation telescope, allowing guests to watch the seaplanes take off and land. The Island Café isn’t just an arrivals haven; guests can also stay there while waiting for their international check-in gate to open, as seaplanes only fly during daylight hours. This means that late international departers can take the last flight from Landaa and enjoy the facilities in The Island Café until it is time to depart.
These two new features will undoubtedly enhance the guest experience at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, providing guests with a unique and memorable arrival experience. The Flying Boxfish and The Island Café are part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of resorts in the Maldives, and they offer guests an exceptional level of luxury and comfort. The Maldives is an idyllic destination that has become increasingly popular with tourists in recent years, and Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is at the forefront of providing guests with an unforgettable experience.
