Getting There

  • Seaplane

    The most common way to reach Milaidhoo Maldives is via seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé. Upon arrival at MLE, a Milaidhoo representative will greet you at the Universal Resorts counter (No. 4) and escort you to the private seaplane lounge. From there, a 35-minute scenic seaplane ride will take you directly to the resort. The roundtrip seaplane transfer costs approximately USD 830 per adult and USD 415 per child (ages 8-11). This mandatory charge will be added to your room bill. Seaplanes operate only during daylight hours, so guests arriving after 3:30 PM may need to overnight in Malé or Hulhumalé.

  • Domestic Flight and Speedboat

    As an alternative to seaplane, especially for arrivals after 3:30 PM, you can take a domestic flight from Velana International Airport (MLE) to Dharavandhoo Airport (DRV), followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride to Milaidhoo. While prices may vary, expect to pay extra for this mode of transport. The cost will be added to your room bill. Contact the resort in advance to arrange this transfer.
