How to reach Dhigufaru Island Resort
The resort is reached by a 40-minute seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport. For those preferring an alternative, a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo airport followed by a 70-minute speedboat ride is also possible. The property is located in the Baa Atoll.
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.
The journey
Step by step

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 142 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Dhigufaru Island Resort. Check-in is from 2:00 PM.
