2. About Tropical Miles

Tropical Miles is a private travel concierge and booking platform operated from Malé, Republic of Maldives. We act as an intermediary between travellers and accommodation providers, experience operators, and transfer services. We do not own or operate any property, vessel, or experience listed on our platform.

3. Booking & Reservations

  • All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by the relevant property or operator.
  • A booking is confirmed only upon receipt of our written confirmation and the required deposit.
  • Prices quoted are in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change until a booking is confirmed.
  • Some properties and operators apply additional taxes, fees, or service charges (e.g., Maldives Green Tax, Tourism Goods & Services Tax) that are the responsibility of the traveller.

4. Payments

  • Deposits and payments are as specified in your booking confirmation.
  • We accept major credit/debit cards and bank transfers. Payment details are provided at checkout.
  • All transactions are encrypted and processed securely. We do not store payment card details.
  • Final balances are typically due 30 days prior to arrival unless otherwise agreed.

5. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation policies vary by property and operator. The applicable policy will be communicated at the time of booking and is binding. General guidelines:

  • More than 60 days before arrival: Full deposit refund (less processing fees)
