Opening of Sinamale Bridge
How does it affect your holiday to Maldives?
The New Connection
A new chapter for travelling between Malé and Velana International Airport.
The iconic bridge known as the Sinamale Bridge that connects the capital island of Maldives, Malé, and the airport island is finally opened.
It took just around 2 and a half years to complete this amazing 2km bridge, where many people wouldn’t think it’s almost impossible to build such a structure across the 2 islands.
This bridge has always been a dream for the Maldivian people. Hopefully this bridge will bring economic prosperity and better living conditions in the country.
A Landmark For Maldives
More than just a bridge
On the day of opening, the world class fireworks displayed has entered into the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Fireworks Display” ever.
The opening of this bridge brings convenience to tourists visiting the island of paradise – Maldives.
“This bridge has always been a dream for the Maldivian people.”

Dhoni Ride Maldives
Some journeys are about the experience.
Previously, for clients that engage us for Maldives holiday packages, the only way for them to visit the capital island would be either by Dhoni or speedboat.

Still remembering not Long ago, the only way into Sentosa island, from Singapore mainland, could only be done either by boat (ferry or bumboat) or cable cars. Many would still remember the excitement of taking a ferry to Sentosa, though now travelling by car or rail to Sentosa is such a brisk.
I really hope that the Maldivian would still keep the operation of this Dhoni ride to/fro their capital and airport island.
Who wouldn’t want to pay just USD1 for a 10-15 minutes thrilling Dhoni ride across the turquoise ocean. I believe in future if my family goes to Maldives for holiday, my son would protest if I were to choose the bridge over the scenic Dhoni ride.

What does this mean for your holiday?
The bridge gives visitors another way to connect their airport stay with the capital, while the traditional Dhoni experience remains part of the charm of Maldives.
