Getting there
Bageechaa Stay is on Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, a local island about 116 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Most guests come by shared speedboat from Malé or the airport — about 2½ hours — which the property can usually book for you. Dharavandhoo also has its own domestic airport (Dharavandhoo Airport), a short flight from Malé. Some islands are also on the public ferry network, which is far cheaper but much slower and runs on set days.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. The domestic flight costs more but takes far less time. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
