What a stay costs
Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.
Getting there
Lagoon View Maldives is on Bodufolhudhoo in North Ari Atoll, a local island about 84 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Most guests come by shared speedboat from Malé or the airport — about 70 minutes — which the property can usually book for you. Some islands are also on the public ferry network, which is far cheaper but much slower and runs on set days.
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. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
