I'm a long time SQ patron. For good reason. Had a similar trip last year and took another airline (at that time, price was the main factor). This time I took SQ as they had really good rates. No comparison. Dependable, reliable service and excellent aircraft. No issue with my special checked in item (a guitar that had to be handled differently) on my way to my destination (not this flight). In the previous mentioned other airline, they misplace my luggage upon arrival. After spending about an hour (with no effective help from that airline's agent), I managed to find it at another belt!

Melbourne to Maldives Travel Guide

The Maldives is a sprawling nation of tiny islands scattered over the Indian Ocean. Look at a map, and you’ll see that most of the islands are set out in rings. These are atolls – coral loops left over from long extinct, sunken volcanoes. And each of the atolls has a different name and speciality. The cultural capital, Malé, dominates one atoll. Others are surf spots, some star pristine coral reefs and deep-sea caves, while others sit right on whale migration routes. But how to get there? Catch a 14.5-hour flight from Melbourne Airport.

Book a flight from Melbourne to the Maldives to be whisked away to an island nation of sandy islands, lagoons and world-class scuba diving. The Baa Atoll dishes up beaches with promising names such as Dolphin Beach, Turtle Beach and White Sandy Beach. Meanwhile, 5-star hotels deal out over-water villas and private reefs on the Noonu Atoll. And bright blue lagoons are the speciality of the Dhaalu Atoll. The Maldivian capital, Malé, occupies the North Malé Atoll. It’s the most populated of all the cities, starring Crayola-bright buildings and the ancient Old Friday Mosque.
