My most memorable trip to Maldives

I was excited to get an opportunity to visit Maldives through Outbound Konnections. We were to experience the property The Residence  and also Srilankan Airlines.

We got upgraded to business class on the Delhi Srilanka flight. It was a convenient flight UL0198.  Service was prompt and courteous. After spending some four hours at Srilanka during transit, getting foot massage and relaxing at Serendib lounge on the airport, connecting on social media, having delicious food etc, we boarded business class till Male on Srilanakan Airlines.

This was a fantastic flight and the memorable one. It needs a separate post to describe the hospitality offered by the crew and the ambiance of the flight.

After landing to Male we had to wait for our third flight to Kooddoo island. From Kooddoo Island, there is a fifteen minutes speed boat. Speed boat took us to the resort. The boat was by The Residence Hotel. Hospitality by The Residence began from there. We were served with welcome drink along with fresh hand towels.

There are many ways to reach Maldives through Srilankan airlines. Flights can be taken from Delhi/Bangalore / Chennai/Coimbatore/Thiruvanthapuram/Cochin/Madurai/ Gaya/Mumbai/Kolkata to Maldives (Gan island or Male). Then one can take a speedboat to the island. If the distance is far then the domestic flight is required. In our case, we could have directly gone to Gan Island but due to some technical issues, we couldn't take that route.
