Is Soneva’s seaplane the most exclusive ‘airline’ in the skies?
You may have headed to the Maldives recently, in a bid to escape the confines of constant lockdowns and an approaching Northern Hemisphere winter. With Maldives being one of the only destinations that has been open to tourism for many, its quickly shifted from the honeymoon destination of dreams to a must-visit for those just looking for a bit of sunshine and relative quiet and respite from the barrage of reality that news channels are sadly draining our emotional psyche.
On arrival in Male, unless you have a window seat, it’s deceptive to see how this is the gateway to paradise. Instead, it’s only on collecting your luggage and then transferring to the seaplane terminal that the excitement starts to peak, with the bright aqua blue calm waters of the waters in tantalising reach.
