Getting there
Getting to Filitheyo Island Resort on Feeali in Faafu Atoll means covering about 122 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 35 minutes. The resort books the seaplane with your stay. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.
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.
