How to reach Burulu Inn
Burulu Inn is on Gaafaru Atoll, 61 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes operate during daylight hours only, so plan your flights accordingly. The seaplane leg itself is a straightforward part of reaching any outer-atoll destination in the Maldives.
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.
