Getting there
Liberty Guest House is on Mahibadhoo in South Ari Atoll, a local island about 78 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Most guests come by shared speedboat from Malé or the airport — about 1½ hours — which the property can usually book for you. A domestic flight from Malé to Maamigili Airport, with a short onward transfer, is the faster option. 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. The domestic flight costs more but takes far less time. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
