How to reach Nala Maldives by Jawakara
Nala Maldives is on Innahura Island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 129 km from Malé. The transfer is by seaplane from Velana International Airport, taking approximately 35–40 minutes. Seaplanes run during daylight hours only (roughly 06:30–16:00), so late arrivals should plan an overnight stopover 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.
