How to reach Noku Maldives
The resort is located on Kuda Funafaru Island in the Noonu Atoll. Access is via a 45-minute seaplane transfer from Malé, or a 40-minute transfer to Maafaru Airport followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride.
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
Step by step
- Fly to Malé. Arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE), the Maldives' main international gateway, served by direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 189 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Noku Maldives. Settle in and start your stay.
