Review: Park Hyatt Maldives

To get to the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, the hotel will book round-trip transfers between the international airport for a fee. The shortest flight from Male Domestic Terminal to Kooddoo Domestic Airport is approximately 1 hour.

Whether nestled within the island’s tropical greenery or elevated above the water, these villas are steps away from an idyllic beachfront, giving you direct access to this area or the house reef.
