Conference Accomodation

An Unforgettable Stay

The 3rd International Joint Conference for Healthcare Professionals will be held at Crossroads, Maldives.

We encourage conference participants to stay at SAii Lagoon Maldives, as travelling to and from islands can be expensive.

A discounted rate will be provided to participants booking accomodation at SAii Lagoon, one of three Crossroads resorts. This booking will be made through the conference, and interested participants are encouraged to reach out to the conference chair.

Alternative accommodation can be found on the surrounding islands, and within Hulhumalé and Malé city. For those staying outside of SAii Lagoon, transport will be organised once a day to carry participants between the conference venue and Malé.
