7-Day Maldives Overwater Retreat

Daily Activity Limits

• Maximum 2 activities per day – This limit helps you fully enjoy each experience without rushing. Most activities are operated by different local providers and may take place in different parts of the city. By keeping a maximum of two per day, you have realistic time to travel between your hotel and the meeting points, deal with traffic, and arrive calmly instead of running from one activity to another.
• 8-hour daily limit – The total scheduled duration of the activities in one day cannot exceed 8 hours. This includes time actually spent on the activity and the practical time you’ll need before and after (check-in, pick-up, drop-off, getting back to your hotel, meals, and short breaks). This protects you from extremely long days and reduces the risk of overlapping or missing part of an experience.
• Full-day activities (4+ hours) – When you choose a longer or more immersive activity that already takes up most of the day, other options may be hidden for that same date. This avoids misunderstandings, such as thinking you can fit several long tours into a single day, and ensures that your main experience gets the attention and energy it deserves.

Smart Scheduling & Hidden Activities

Each activity can only be selected once during your stay in the same destination. Once you add an activity to a specific day, it will no longer appear as an option on other days. In addition, when you reach the daily limits (2 activities or 8 total hours), the remaining activities for that day will be hidden to avoid confusion and duplicate reservations.

This system encourages you to create a varied and balanced itinerary, helping you discover different sides of the destination instead of repeating the same type of experience.

Overlapping Times & Responsibility

Many activities are managed by independent local operators. In some cases, exact pick-up times and final schedules are confirmed only after the reservation is processed. Although our system helps prevent obvious conflicts, it is still possible for two activities selected on the same day to have overlapping or very tight schedules.

Please carefully review the times of each activity once your confirmations and vouchers are issued. If you choose activities that overlap or leave very little time between them, we cannot be held responsible if one of them cannot be fully enjoyed, needs to be shortened, or must be cancelled by the provider.

Our team will usually review your itinerary, and if we notice an obvious conflict, we will try to contact you (by email, phone, or messaging apps) to suggest changes or alternatives. However, we cannot guarantee that every possible schedule conflict will be detected in advance, so your final review and approval of the timetable is very important.

Need More Options or Changes?

If you'd like to adjust your activities or remove a selection to see more options, simply:

1. Click on any selected activity to view its details.
2. Remove the activity from your itinerary if you want to free up time or change it.
3. Available activities that fit within the daily limits will automatically reappear for you to choose from.

If you ever feel unsure about which combination of activities works best, or if you suspect there might be a timing conflict, please reach out to us. We’ll be happy to review your plan together and, whenever possible, suggest a more comfortable schedule that matches your preferences.

How Flight Duration Affects Your Arrival

• Short flights (under 6 hours) – If you depart in the morning or early afternoon, you'll likely arrive the same day with plenty of time to check in and enjoy your first evening at the destination.
• Long-haul flights (8+ hours) – Depending on your departure time and time zone changes, you may arrive late at night or even the next morning. This is common for intercontinental travel.
• Overnight or red-eye flights – These flights depart late at night and arrive the following morning, meaning your first full day at the destination technically starts after your flight lands.

Your First Night is Guaranteed

Good news: We guarantee your hotel room will be ready and waiting for you on the scheduled check-in date shown in your itinerary. If your flight arrives before 3:00 AM the next calendar day, your accommodation is still secured for that first night. For example, if your itinerary shows "Day 1" as April 1st and your flight lands at 2:00 AM on April 2nd, your room will be available to sleep in that night.

At Travely, we don't plan activities for the next day (1st day of the trip) for this reason, so you'll have time to rest if you arrive exhausted from a long journey. Conversely, if your flight is short and you arrive on the first day, you can enjoy the trip from the moment you arrive while you wait for your friends who are arriving on later flights to join your adventure.

Flight Selection & Responsibility

The final flight you choose determines your actual arrival time. We provide flight options based on your preferences, but the selection is ultimately yours. Please review departure times, layovers, and arrival times carefully before booking.

Please note: Travely is not responsible for delays, cancellations, or schedule changes made by airlines. We also cannot be held liable for missed connections, weather-related disruptions, or any issues arising from the flight portion of your journey. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for added protection.

If your flight is significantly delayed and you arrive after 3:00 AM on the day following your scheduled check-in date, please contact us immediately so we can assist with your hotel arrangements.

Tips for a Smooth Arrival

• Choose flights that arrive at reasonable hours if early check-in is important to you.
• Contact your hotel in advance if you need early check-in or late arrival arrangements.
• Keep our contact information handy in case you experience any flight issues.
• Download your hotel voucher and have it accessible offline during your journey.

At Travely, we connect directly with airlines, hotels, and activity providers through automated systems to bring you real-time availability and pricing. This means you always see the most accurate and competitive rates available.

How It Works

• Direct API Connections – We integrate directly with major Global Distribution Systems (GDS), as well as hotel and activity suppliers. No middlemen, no markups from third parties.
• Real-Time Pricing – Every time you search, our system queries live inventory. The prices you see reflect current availability, not cached or outdated data.
• Dynamic Optimization – Our algorithms automatically compare multiple options and present you with the best combinations of flights, hotels, and activities for your budget.
• Transparent Pricing – All taxes and fees are included upfront. The price you see is the price you pay—no hidden charges at checkout.

Why Prices Change

Travel prices are highly dynamic. Airlines and hotels adjust rates constantly based on demand, seasonality, and inventory levels. A flight that costs $300 today might be $350 tomorrow—or $250 if demand drops.

By connecting in real-time, we ensure you're always seeing the current market price, giving you the opportunity to book at the best possible moment.

Our Commitment

We're committed to offering you the best value for your travel investment. Our technology works around the clock to find competitive rates, and our team is always available to help you make the most of your trip budget. If you find a lower price for the exact same itinerary elsewhere, let us know—we'll do our best to match it or explain the difference.
