How to reach Luna Lodge
Luna Lodge sits on Olhuvelifushi, about 121 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. Reaching it requires a domestic flight and then a speedboat transfer. The airport shuttle is available at an extra charge. Travel time will vary depending on domestic flight schedules, so allow a full day for the journey.
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.
The journey

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 121 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Luna Lodge. Check-in is from 2:00 PM.
