Getting there
Vaadhoo View Inn is on Vaadhoo in Raa Atoll, a local island about 195 km from Velana International Airport (MLE). Shared speedboats run from Malé or the airport — about 4½ hours — which the property can usually book for you. A domestic flight from Malé to Ifuru Airport, with a short onward transfer, is the faster option. Some islands are also on the public ferry network, which is far cheaper but much slower and runs on set days.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. The domestic flight costs more but takes far less time. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
