A city stay in Hulhumalé
Airport Comfort Inn Premium sits on the beach in Hulhumale, roughly 3 km from Velana International Airport by speedboat.

The property has a restaurant, a spa and wellness centre, water sports facilities, snorkelling and diving access, and BBQ facilities on a terrace. An airport shuttle runs for guests who need it.

An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
