Seamless Travel from Russia & the CIS

Planning a trip to the Maldives from Russia has never been easier. Citizens of the Russian Federation can enter the Maldives without a visa for stays of up to 90 days, requiring only a valid passport and proof of return travel. Direct flights from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) to Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé are operated by Aeroflot, with a flight time of approximately 9 to 10 hours.

For those preferring alternative routes, connecting flights via Emirates from Domodedovo Airport (DME) are also available. Upon arrival in Malé, guests are escorted to a dedicated seaplane lounge, offering comfortable seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and refreshments before a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey to the resort.

This transfer is often included in longer stays or specific packages, such as the "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" seaplane offer available for stays of four or more nights during the May–October period. The resort actively caters to the Russian-speaking market by employing Russian-speaking butlers, island hosts, and guest relations officers. Reviews from Russian tourists frequently highlight the convenience of having staff who can communicate in their native language, ensuring a warm and stress-free welcome.

Adventure and Wellness in the Raa Atoll

Furaveri is not just a place to relax; it is a hub for adventure. The resort is home to Dive Club Maldives, a PADI 5-Star Dive Centre that was named the "Best Dive Resort" at the TTM Maldives 2023.
