How to reach Lily Beach Resort and Spa
Lily Beach is on Huvahendhoo Island in the South Ari Atoll, 87 km from Malé. The transfer is by seaplane, taking around 25 minutes from Velana International Airport. The resort arranges the airport shuttle connection. Seaplane schedules are typically daylight-only, so late-arriving flights may require an overnight in Malé before transfer.
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.
