Reservation
A mandatory Green Tax is charged per person, per night for all guests from 2 years of age, in line with Maldivian regulations. This tax is collected by the resort in addition to the room rate and any transfer or meal plan charges.
Return transfers between Velana International Airport and Villa Park Sun Island are arranged by the resort, either by domestic flight plus speedboat or by shared or private seaplane. Transfer options, schedules and return prices differ for adults and children and may change; the resort will confirm the latest details at the time of booking and again before arrival. Infants under 2 years typically travel free of charge when not occupying a separate seat.
Guests must present a valid photo ID and the same payment card used to guarantee the booking upon check‑in. The resort may pre‑authorise or charge a deposit and can request additional verification from the cardholder. For some reservations, advance payment via bank transfer or secure payment link may be required before arrival.
Mandatory gala dinner supplements apply for stays including 24 December and 31 December. These festive surcharges are payable directly to the resort and are in addition to room and transfer charges. Honeymoon, wedding anniversary and birthday benefits may be offered when eligibility is confirmed with appropriate documentation at check‑in.
The use of drones and other unmanned aerial devices is generally restricted and usually requires written authorisation from the resort. Resort policies, inclusions for meal plans and other conditions are subject to change; always refer to your latest booking confirmation and pre‑arrival information for up‑to‑date terms.
Cancellation
Cancellation and prepayment terms depend on the room type, rate plan and travel dates. During peak or festive seasons, stricter conditions and longer notice periods may apply. The exact cancellation policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process and on the confirmation voucher issued by the resort or your travel partner.
Children and extra beds
Children of all ages are welcome. Infants up to 1 year old can usually stay free in a cot or when sharing an existing bed. Children from 2 to 11 years using an existing bed or an extra bed are generally charged an additional nightly fee. Extra beds and baby cots are limited, available on request only and must be confirmed by the resort in advance.
Card accepted
Accepts major credit/debit cards. The resort may send a secure payment link before arrival and reserves the right to pre-authorize your card. A government-issued photo ID and the card used for guarantee may be required at check-in.American Express, Master Card, Union Pay, Visa
Special check-in instructions
Villa Park Sun Island is accessible only by domestic flight plus speedboat or by seaplane from Velana International Airport in Malé. Guests must provide their international flight details to the resort several days before arrival so that transfers can be arranged and seats can be confirmed.
Same‑day arrival at the resort is usually possible only for international flights landing in Malé by late afternoon, and seaplane services operate during daylight hours. Domestic and seaplane transfers have baggage allowances (for example, around 20 kg checked luggage plus 5 kg hand luggage per person), with excess weight chargeable directly by the airline.
Important information
Fees
A mandatory Tourism Green Tax of about USD 12.00 per person, per night is charged for stays at Villa Park Sun Island in line with Maldivian regulations, and current partner information notes that this tax does not usually apply to infants under about 2 years of age.
Accommodation, meal, transfer and activity prices are typically subject to a compulsory 10% service charge plus Tourism Goods and Services Tax of around 16%, so the final amount payable at the resort is normally higher than the base villa rate initially shown before taxes and charges.
Return transfers between Velana International Airport and Villa Park Sun Island are arranged by a combination of domestic flight and speedboat, and several travel partners currently quote example roundtrip charges of around USD 385–400 per adult and approximately USD 190–200 per child aged roughly 2–11 years, with infants generally travelling free when sitting on a parent’s lap.
The resort also applies an additional one time transfer fee for older children and teenagers in some contracts, with example information showing a charge of about USD 385 per person for guests aged roughly 12–17 years, and all transfer prices are normally payable directly to the property unless clearly included in an all inclusive or package arrangement.
These combined domestic flight and speedboat transfers are compulsory for overnight guests, are not included in standard room only rates, and guests are expected to share their international flight details in advance so the resort can book flights that connect within the usual operating window, typically between about 09:00 and 17:00 local time.
For stays including 24 December (Christmas Eve), there is a compulsory festive gala dinner supplement, and recent sample figures from booking partners show a charge of about USD 260 per adult and USD 130 per child aged roughly 2–11 years, with infants below around 2 years often exempt from the gala fee.
For stays including 31 December (New Year’s Eve), a separate mandatory gala dinner supplement is applied, with current example pricing of about USD 350 per adult and USD 175 per child aged roughly 2–11 years, and these festive supplements may either appear as separate compulsory charges on the bill or already be bundled into special seasonal packages.
All amounts for Green Tax, service charge, Tourism Goods and Services Tax, compulsory transfer fees and festive gala dinners are based on information supplied by Villa Park Sun Island and its distribution partners and may change without notice, so the figures and policies shown on your own confirmation documents should always be treated as the most accurate for your stay.
Optional extras
Some rate plans at Villa Park Sun Island are sold on an all inclusive basis, while others are offered as breakfast only, half board or full board, so food and drink items that fall outside your purchased meal plan, such as speciality restaurants, premium brands, fine wines, cocktails and extensive minibar consumption, are normally treated as optional extras.
Where breakfast is not included in the chosen room type, guests can usually purchase buffet or à la carte breakfast directly at the main restaurant, with the exact price depending on the season, the venue and whether any meal plan upgrades are available during your dates.
Lunches and dinners taken at à la carte venues, private beach or sandbank dinners, destination dining, wine pairing menus and other signature culinary experiences are typically charged per person or per set menu when they are not part of an all inclusive or full board package.
Spa and wellness treatments at the on site spa, including massages, body treatments, facials, beauty rituals and wellness programmes, are charged separately per treatment or per package unless you have purchased a promotional rate that specifically includes spa credits or set inclusions.
Motorised water sports, scuba diving, PADI courses, snorkelling excursions, fishing trips, sunset or dolphin cruises, island hopping and other organised experiences are generally available at an additional cost which varies by duration, itinerary and the size of your group.
Airport transfers by domestic flight and speedboat are compulsory for overnight stays and, where they are not explicitly bundled into a package, partners list example airport shuttle fees of about USD 400 per adult and around USD 200 per child aged roughly 2–11 years for the roundtrip service.
Extra person surcharges may apply when the number of guests exceeds the standard occupancy of the selected villa, and while baby cots are often provided free of charge on request, rollaway or extra beds for older children and additional adults may carry nightly supplements that vary by season and offer.
Early check in and late check out, where available, can incur extra charges and remain strictly subject to availability at the time, and any lists of optional fees or deposits provided on booking websites are examples only and may not cover every possible service or experience.
You need to know
Extra person charges may apply and can differ depending on the resort’s policy, the villa category chosen, the meal plan purchased, the travel dates and the ages of any additional guests sharing the same accommodation.
Guests are generally required to present a valid government issued photo ID together with a credit card, debit card or suitable cash deposit at check in, and the resort may pre authorise a portion of the stay or hold a security deposit to cover incidental expenses during the visit.
The payment card presented on arrival is usually expected to belong to the lead guest named on the reservation, and some partners highlight that the same card used to guarantee or prepay the booking should be shown physically at check in for verification.
Check in time at Villa Park Sun Island is typically from around 14:00, and check out time is usually by around 12:00 noon, with express check in and check out options available and any early arrivals or late departures subject to availability and potential additional fees.
The resort is accessed exclusively via a pre arranged domestic flight and speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport, and guests must send their international flight details in advance so that connecting domestic flights can be organised within normal operating hours, with those landing later in the evening often advised to overnight in Malé or Hulhumalé and continue to the island the following day.
Many promotions mention that children under a certain age may stay or dine on a complimentary or discounted basis when sharing existing bedding with parents and eating from buffet selections, but such offers do not normally waive the mandatory Green Tax and may not apply to all restaurants, menus or festive dates.
Special requests such as particular villa locations, bedding configurations, connecting or adjacent villas, specific views, early arrivals, late departures and arrangements for honeymoons, birthdays or other celebrations are always subject to availability at the time of stay, cannot be guaranteed in advance and may incur extra charges.
We should mention
Pets and service animals are not allowed at Villa Park Sun Island according to current resort and partner policy information, so guests wishing to travel with animals will need to consider alternative accommodation options.
The property does not have passenger lifts, and some villas and facilities are accessed by steps or uneven paths, so guests with reduced mobility or families with very young children should contact the resort in advance to discuss suitable room locations.
Reservations are required for most massage services, spa treatments and some speciality dining or experience options, and advance booking is recommended for popular time slots, especially during peak travel periods and around Christmas and New Year.
Children under approximately 12 years must be supervised by an adult when using the swimming pool, fitness facilities, hot tub or spa areas, and specific age restrictions may apply to certain relaxation zones or treatment rooms.
Airport shuttles by domestic flight and speedboat, as well as many marine excursions, are weather dependent, and schedules may occasionally be adjusted, delayed or cancelled in line with local safety guidance and operational requirements.
All details regarding taxes, transfers, gala dinners, payment and cancellation rules, child policies, facilities, activities and resort regulations are based on information provided by Villa Park Sun Island and its booking partners and may change without prior notice, so the conditions stated on your own booking confirmation and pre arrival documents should always be treated as final.
