How to reach Portia Hotel & Spa
Portia Hotel & Spa is on Dhiffushi island, 35 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The hotel arranges a speedboat transfer. Dhiffushi is a local inhabited island, so the approach gives you a working Maldivian community rather than a private resort island. Confirm transfer times and costs with the hotel when booking.
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.
