How to reach Atoll Retreat
Atoll Retreat is on Fulidhoo island, approximately 58 km from Velana International Airport. The transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes in the Maldives run during daylight hours, so arrival and departure times need to be planned around flight schedules. Confirm the seaplane booking directly with the property when you reserve your room.
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.
