Getting there
SAND INN RESIDENCE is on Kamadhoo in Baa Atoll, a local island about 129 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Shared speedboats run from Malé or the airport — about 3 hours — which the property can usually book for you. A domestic flight from Malé to Dharavandhoo Airport, with a short onward transfer, is the faster option. Some islands are also on the public ferry network, which is far cheaper but much slower and runs on set days.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. The domestic flight costs more but takes far less time. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
On the map
Kamadhoo sits in Baa Atoll. Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, famous for Hanifaru Bay and its seasonal gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks.
