How to reach Reception
Fenfushi lies approximately 113 km from Velana International Airport in Malé, and the only transfer option is by seaplane. Seaplanes operate during daylight hours, so arriving flights need to connect with the schedule. Factor the seaplane booking into your travel planning from the outset.
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 113 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Reception. Settle in and start your stay.
