We arrived in Male International Airport at 10plus pm local time (Singapore is 3 hours ahead). Depending on your resort, you either stay overnight at one of the hotels in the city before catching a sea plane the next morning or take a speedboat to your resort. Ours was the latter.
We were greeted by Zara (no I didn't ask him if he knew about the Spanish label) at the arrival terminal. I thought he would lead us to a car to take us to the jetty but it turned out that the jetty was only a few steps away from the airport!
After being given bottles of water and cold towels to freshen up, Zara gave instructions on how to inflate the life vest, in case of an emergency. We were told to expect a bumpy ride. It was extremely windy and the sea was rather choppy that night.
True enough, the first half of the journey was rough. When we neared the resort 45 minutes later, the coxswain was unable to dock the boat at the main jetty after a few attempts. Thankfully, there was another jetty on the other side of the island where the sea was calm enough for him to dock the boat safely.
And we were brought to the villa which was home for the next week :)

We were given fresh coconuts as welcome drinks and a complimentary bottle of champagne for our honeymoon
