How to reach Banyan Villa
Banyan Villa is reached by a speedboat transfer of around 2 hours from Malé International Airport, or via a domestic flight to Villa/Maamigili Airport. The property requires guests to provide flight details at least 48 hours in advance for arrangements.
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.
