How to reach AQUARAA
AQUARAA sits in Maduvvari Atoll, about 160 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. Reaching the hotel requires a domestic flight to a regional airport followed by a speedboat transfer. Travellers should budget extra time and cost for this two-stage journey when planning their trip.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
The journey
Step by step
- Fly to Malé. Arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE), the Maldives' main international gateway, served by direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 160 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at AQUARAA. Settle in and start your stay.
