How to reach Kaani Beach Hotel
Maafushi sits 28 km from Malé. The standard route is by public ferry or shared speedboat. The hotel also runs an airport shuttle — worth confirming when you book. Maafushi is one of the more accessible local islands in the Maldives for independent travellers using scheduled public transport.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
