How to reach The Sandgate Inn
The Sandgate Inn is on Nirolhu Magu, 3 km from the airport. The transfer runs by speedboat. Nearby cafes and restaurants are within walking distance once you arrive, so there is no need for a vehicle on the ground.
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.
