In one of the most picturesque settings in this stunning archipelago, Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island’s idyllic location offers privacy for romantic getaways, a blissful island retreat for friends and family and experiences for the more active traveller.  

Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island and Gulf Craft

In its commitment to taking luxury hospitality to new heights, Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island teamed up with Gulf Craft to unveil an ultra-luxury guest transfer vessel.

The guests’ luxury journey starts as soon as they touch down the Maldives, and transfer to the resort in VIP style aboard the 48-foot Guest Transfer Vessel, which has been meticulously designed to cater to the most discerning travellers.  

As guests step onboard, they will enjoy an elegant interior featuring spacious seating upholstered in plush leather with a sophisticated hand-stitched trim.

Reimagining onboard comfort levels, the VIP seating features fully electric adjustable backrest, footrest and recline settings, making the journey as comfortable and enjoyable as the destination.

To the rear of the vessel, an outdoor VIP lounge features luxurious leather sofa-style seating located on the teak deck – the perfect spot to take in the breath-taking local surroundings and panoramic views on route to the resort.

The boat’s interior design is complemented by luxurious amenities inspired by the resort, providing guests with unparalleled levels of comfort and style. 

The collaboration between Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island and Gulf Craft is a notable partnership in the luxury travel industry; guests can now look forward to a truly unforgettable journey to the resort. The launch of our new VIP guest transfer vessel reflects Jumeirah Group’s position as a leader in luxury hospitality, delivering unparalleled unique guest experiences that exceed expectations to delight our guests at every opportunity.
