Getting there
Plumeria is on Thinadhoo in Vaavu Atoll, a local island about 78 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Most guests come by shared speedboat from Malé or the airport — about 75 minutes — which the property can usually book for you. Some islands are also on the public ferry network, which is far cheaper but much slower and runs on set days.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
On the map
Thinadhoo, the hotel's island, belongs to Vaavu Atoll. Vaavu Atoll is a small, quiet region famous for nurse-shark dives and the long Fotteyo Kandu reef.
