🧳 Need a checked bag? Gulf Air alternative available

The €570 Etihad fare above is hand-baggage only (Etihad Sale class, no checked bag included).
Some of the same dates are also bookable on Gulf Air via Bahrain (BAH) with
1 × 25 kg checked bag included, starting from €601.
If you need a checked bag, the Gulf Air option is the better value once you factor in the
~€60-80 Etihad bag fee added to the €570 base. Search “Milan to Malé” on Skyscanner and filter
to Gulf Air to compare both options on your preferred dates.

🌍 About Malé

The Maldives is the lowest country on Earth — roughly 1,200 coral islands averaging about 1.5m above sea level, scattered across 26 atolls. Two things matter before you book. First, it runs on a one-island-one-resort model, and it's a conservative Muslim country: alcohol, bikinis and the postcard-villa stuff live on private resort islands, while the inhabited "local islands" are dry and modest, so know which you're booking. Second, eat mas huni — shredded smoked tuna with grated coconut, onion and chili, scooped up with roshi flatbread at breakfast. December to February is the dry northeast monsoon: calm seas, the best underwater visibility for snorkeling. The catch for deal-hunters — the cheap fares fall in May to October, which is the wet, choppier southwest monsoon, not the calm clear months.
