How to reach Jumeirah Olhahali Island
The resort is 56 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. Transfers run by seaplane or domestic flight. Seaplane services in the Maldives typically operate during daylight hours only, so arrival timing matters if you're connecting from an international flight. Confirm transfer scheduling directly with the resort when booking.
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.

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 56 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
