Transfers are not guaranteed with these tickets - in the event of a delay and subsequent missed next flight, it is at your own risk. But there is a longer time for the transfer, which should be sufficient even in case of delay.
It arrives in the Maldives around 7:00 a.m. and departs from the Maldives around 8:00 a.m. - it may happen that some boats from the airport to the islands do not run at suitable times - find out directly at the accommodation if they have a boat that will take you on that day connects to these flights. If not, you should spend the first or last night on the island of Hulhumalé near the airport, for example at the hotel h78**** (recommended).
We can recommend these local islands in the Maldives: Ukulhas and Dhiffushi (we visited these two), but Thoddoo, Maafushi, Dhigurah, Gulhi or Rasdhoo are also great.
If you have a longer layover in Abu Dhabi, we recommend the Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport*** - it is right at the airport. Alternatively, in the city, we recommend the Traders Hotel****, near the Grand Mosque and from the airport it is about 20 minutes by taxi for a few euros.
