How to reach Sunview Residence
Kaashidhoo sits about 86 km from Malé, and the transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes operate during daylight hours, so arrival and departure times need to align with the schedule. The island is a self-contained local community, separate from the resort atolls closer to the capital.
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 86 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Sunview Residence. Settle in and start your stay.
