Airports

Maldives International Airport (MLE), which is situated in Hulhule Island, is the primary airport in the Maldives. It is just 1.7 miles away from the capital city, Male. Upon arrival, you will have to take a ferry or speedboat to reach your resort as most Maldives resorts are located in remote islands.
