The primary mode of transportation in the Maldives is by sea, and speedboat transfer between the resort and the airport is included in most packages. Island hopping and other excursions are generally available on private speedboats or catamarans, which can be arranged through your resort at an additional cost. The airport is located within the capital city of Male, and more domestic flights are available to get to the domestic airports located in nearby Atolls at additional costs.
If you have more time, you may consider taking a seaplane ride to experience the beauty of the Maldives from the air. You can also plan a visit to nearby coral reefs or submarine tours to explore the underwater world entirely. To save costs, you may choose to join group tours instead of private trips or dine at local cafes or markets instead of dining at the expensive resort restaurants.
The Velana International Airport (MLE) is the primary airport in the Maldives, located in Hulhule Island in the North Male Atoll. It is about 2 km from the capital city of Male, and most resorts arrange speedboat transfers to and from the airport.
