How to reach SAND INN RESIDENCE
Sand Inn Residence is on Kamadhoo island in Baa Atoll, 129 km from Malé. Getting there requires a domestic flight from Malé's domestic terminal to Dharavandhoo Airport, then a short boat transfer of roughly 16.7 km to the island. The property offers a paid airport shuttle — notify them at least 72 hours before arrival to secure it.
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.

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 129 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at SAND INN RESIDENCE. Settle in and start your stay.
