Hilton SAii Landaa Giraavaru Maldives.

1. Before You Go ● Documents: Ensure you have a valid passport and visa (Maldives offers a 30-day free visa on arrival for Chinese citizens, but you still need to prepare relevant materials, such as return flight tickets and hotel booking confirmations, for inspection). ● Clothing: Pack light summer clothes, such as shorts, skirts, and short-sleeved shirts. Also bring a few long-sleeved jackets in case the sea breeze is strong at night. Swimsuits are essential for participating in water activities. Additionally, prepare sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses for sun protection. The sun in the Maldives is very strong, so it is important to take precautions. ● Medicines: Bring commonly used medicines, such as cold medicine, fever reducer, anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal medicine, motion sickness medicine, and mosquito repellent, in case of physical discomfort. ● Other items: Prepare a camera, charger, adapter (Maldives uses British standard plugs), toiletries, skincare products, snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, fins, etc. - bring your own if the hotel does not provide them), etc. 2. Transportation ● Arriving at Male International Airport: From China, take a flight to Male International Airport in the Maldives. It is recommended to book your flight in advance and check flight information to avoid delays. ● Getting to the hotel: SAii Landaa Giraavaru Maldives is only a 15-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport. At the airport exit, you can find the hotel's reception staff, who will assist you in taking a speedboat to the hotel. Some speedboats may offer free Wi-Fi and drinking water. 3. Accommodation Options ● Room Features: ● Sky House: Suitable for couples on vacation, with a youthful and vibrant interior design. Features an indoor lounge area and a private balcony with views of the Indian Ocean. ● Beach House: Features a spacious interior with stylish furniture. The private terrace leads to the beach, and the connecting bathroom has double sinks and a waterfall shower. ● Beach Villa: Luxury villa with an indoor lounge and a spacious private terrace with direct beach access.

Features an outdoor "nest" lounge, a spacious terrace, and a private pool. Enjoy stunning ocean views. ● Book in Advance: Choose a room type that suits your budget and needs, and book in advance. Especially for popular room types like water villas, which are in high demand, booking in advance ensures you get your desired room. 4. Dining Experience ● Miss Olive Oyl Restaurant & Bar: Offers Mediterranean cuisine, including fresh seafood, delicious grilled dishes, and a variety of tropical cocktails, wines, and spirits.

The interior design creates a relaxed and stylish atmosphere. 5. Entertainment Activities ● Water Sports: The hotel offers a variety of water sports, including catamaran sailing, dolphin watching, sailing, fishing trips, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and waterskiing. You can rent equipment at the hotel's water sports center and participate in activities under the guidance of professional instructors. Explore the beautiful underwater world and get up close with marine life. ● Land Activities: The island also offers beach volleyball, badminton, tennis, cooking classes, and spa treatments. At night, you can watch a romantic movie under the stars at the outdoor cinema, or browse the boutiques and duty-free shops for souvenirs. ● Cultural Experience: Every sunset, the hotel staff performs the "Boduberu," the most famous traditional dance in the Maldives. You can join in and experience the local cultural atmosphere. 6. Other Considerations ● Environmental Protection: The Maldives is a country with a very fragile ecological environment. When visiting the island, please do not litter. Protect the marine environment and the island's vegetation. ● Language Communication: Although the hotel offers Chinese service, most staff on the island communicate in English. It is recommended to learn some simple English daily expressions in advance for better communication. ● Tipping: Tipping is a common practice in the Maldives. If you are satisfied with the hotel's service, you can give the staff a small tip to express your gratitude.
