How to reach Raalhu Lodge
Raalhu Lodge sits on Himmafushi island, 14 km from Velana International Airport. The transfer runs by public ferry or shared speedboat, and the lodge provides an airport shuttle. Himmafushi is part of Kaafu Atoll and accessible enough to make Malé day trips straightforward if needed.
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.
