The usual transfer is by speedboat from Velana International Airport, which is 31 km away in a straight line. In North Malé Atoll, speedboats can run day and night, so a late arrival is not a problem. The nearest domestic airport is Dharavandhoo, 86 km away, but seaplanes fly in daylight only.
Resorts arrange transfers for their guests. In North Malé Atoll, public ferries link some islands on set days, but timetables change and are slower than a speedboat. Malé and Hulhumalé sit at the southern edge of the atoll; a night in Hulhumalé or Malé can be simpler than a boat crossing if you arrive late or leave early.
