How to reach Vakkaru Maldives
Vakkaru Maldives sits approximately 125 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The standard transfer is by seaplane, booked at an extra charge alongside your stay. Seaplane schedules are typically daylight-only, so late-arriving flights may require an overnight in Malé before travelling to the resort.
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.
