Getting there
The Grand View is on Malé in Kaafu Atoll, about 2 km from Velana International Airport (MLE) on Hulhulé — a short taxi over the Sinamalé Bridge, no boat needed. Airport shuttle buses run the route around the clock too.
An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
