How to reach The Happiness Sun Suites
Reaching Fodhdhoo from Malé requires a domestic flight followed by a speedboat — the island sits approximately 176 km from the capital. Plan for a multi-leg journey and book the transfer in advance. It is a longer route than properties in the atolls closer to Malé, so factor in a full travel day.
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 176 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at The Happiness Sun Suites. Settle in and start your stay.
