How to reach Palm Gate
Palm Gate is on Thulusdhoo island, approximately 24 km from Malé. The transfer from Malé is by public ferry or shared speedboat. An airport shuttle is also available through the property. Thulusdhoo is a compact local island, and most of it is reachable on foot or by the bicycles available for rent.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
