How to reach Rashu Hiyaa
Dhiffushi sits in Kaafu Atoll, approximately 35 km from Malé. The journey from the airport is by public ferry or shared speedboat. The hotel provides an airport shuttle service, so guests should confirm the specific transfer option when booking. Dhiffushi is a local island with its own community and shoreline.
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.
