How to reach RAS RANA LODGE
Rasdhoo sits about 60 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer runs by seaplane or domestic flight. The lodge operates a shuttle service, which covers at least part of the journey from the airport or the island's arrival point. Confirm the full transfer arrangement with the property when booking.
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 60 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at RAS RANA LODGE. Settle in and start your stay.
