Getting there
Getting to Kunaa beach inn on Fulidhoo in Vaavu Atoll means covering about 58 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 20 minutes. The property arranges the seaplane once your flights are confirmed. 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.
