Jet privé Maldives - Dubai
Your flight Maldives - Dubai
Flying by private jet from the Maldives to Dubai — approximately 2,400 km above the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Peninsula — combines two of the world’s most iconic luxury destinations in a flight of 3h30 to 4h. From Malé (Velana International Airport, MLE) or from one of the private island airstrips (Maafaru, Dharavandhoo), a heavy jet or super mid-size will reach Dubai (DXB or DWC) non-stop, allowing you to savour the Maldives until the last sunset before joining the vibrant energy of the Gulf.
flight_takeoffBook a flightFor this range-demanding flight, SmartPrivateJet recommends long-distance-certified aircraft: the Challenger 350 or equivalent super mid-size (3,800 km range) for groups of 6 to 9 passengers; the Gulfstream G450 or heavy jet for families wanting more space and comfort in flight; the Global 7500 or ultra-long range for an unrivalled experience — lounge, bedroom, shower, meeting room. Every flight is prepared with the utmost care: local or international catering, a selection of wines and spirits, VIP welcome on the Maldivian tarmac.
Prices for the Maldives–Dubai private jet start from 36,000 € for a super mid-size, and can reach 75,000 € and above for an all-inclusive ultra-long range. The high season (December–January and July–August) brings strong demand and reduced availability — book at least 48 to 72 hours in advance.
