How to reach Safari Island Maldives
Safari Island sits 73 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. Guests travel by seaplane or domestic flight, with an airport shuttle listed as part of the resort's facilities. Seaplanes operate only in daylight, so late arrivals may require an overnight in Malé before the final leg to the island.
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.
