Frequently asked questions

How do guests arrive from the airport?

Velana International Airport (Ibrahim Nasir) is approximately 30km away. The resort arranges speedboat or seaplane transfers directly to the property, typically taking 20-45 minutes depending on island location. Transfer costs and logistics are coordinated through the wedding team.

Can we accommodate guests with varying budgets?

Yes. The resort offers multiple room categories and dining packages. Guests can select accommodation levels and meal plans that fit their needs, while the couple benefits from negotiated group rates across the property.

What's included in the venue rental?

The Marina CROSSROADS typically includes ceremony/reception space rental, tables, chairs, and basic décor. Food, beverage, accommodation, and specialized services (photography, florals, entertainment) are quoted separately or through preferred vendor partnerships.

What's the best time of year for a wedding here?

November to March offers the driest weather and calmest seas. Avoid June-September monsoon season. Book 6-12 months in advance during peak months for optimal guest availability and rates.

Are there backup indoor venues if weather affects the ceremony?

Yes. Multi-purpose function rooms and covered pavilions provide weather-protected alternatives. Discuss contingency layouts during your site visit and planning meetings with the events team.
