Summer Island Village North Male Atoll Maldives

LOCATION

At the outer reef in the North of the North Male Atoll. Length about 350 m, width about 75 m. Distance to the house reef about 80 m to the outer reef about 300 m. Distance from the airport 35 km. Transfers by fast dhoni from the airport to the island or vice-versa take approx. 1 1/2 hours.

That is the way many of our guests see our lovely island in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. We have guests who are visiting the Maldives for the 20th time and still are not bored. On the contrary, every time they land on Hulule it's like coming home again.

Of course they also are tired after the long flight and would like to pass the customs officer faster, but a "Salaam aleikum" (good morning/ afternoon/ evening) makes some faces smile and after receiving the necessary stamps a "Shukuri?" will de-ice all faces.

When you travel for the first time, you should have some patience. The immigration officers check your passport and the lady next to him checks if your health certificate is OK. But once you are done with all the paperwork you can pick up your luggage. Please remember that you are visiting a Muslim country. Respect their way of life; don't try to bring in pork, alcohol or drugs. Don't even try to hide it in your luggage, they will find it.

Then it's time to wonder, once outside the airport you will notice you have landed on a very small island, that up till now, has only one runway. So the next leg of your trip is either by boat or by plane. But don't worry, all travel agencies have people waiting for you and they are friendly and will bring you to the waiting ferry. But don't rush; take your time. It's too hot to worry and to rush! If you cant find the representative of your travel agency, please go to counter no 1 (Kaimoo Travel). There they will take care of everything.

As most tourists are transported by boat you will be accompanied to the jetty. One of the “Noors” will be waiting for you, but before embarking there is your next surprise. The sea is really blue, just the way it was in the brochure and it's not modified, it's real! Once on board of one of the "Noors" sit down and relax. Leaving the harbor and on the way to Summer Island Village you will see Male, the capital, with the gold plated roof of the mosque. And if, you are lucky, dolphins will accompany you on the way to Summer Island.

Try to sit in front of the Noor. It gives you a great opportunity to take beautiful pictures of the island you pass and of course of Summer Island Village. As the trip to Summer Island takes at least 90 minutes, try to enjoy the sun and the view. The things you see are either the "Water Villas (see fact sheet for more details) or the jetty. If you can try to buy a bottle of water on the airport, as it is 90 minutes to our island and is nice to have something to drink.

On the jetty you will be welcomed by the manager or the assistant manager, or by of the members of the uniformed staff who will accompany you up to the reception, don't worry about your luggage, the crew will bring it to the reception. On your way to the reception you will come across the diving school and the the watersports centre. Once you know your room number, the crew will carry your luggage to your room. Don't forget to tip them; they carried your luggage and besides it is warm! At the reception you will be welcomed with a cloth to freshen up. And after filling out the forms, walk to your room, unpack and start enjoying your stay.
