Inside The White Sand Dunes
Getting there
Getting to The White Sand Dunes on Rasdu in Faafu Atoll means covering about 115 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 35 minutes. The property arranges the seaplane once your flights are confirmed. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.
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.
