How to reach Atoll Retreat
Fulidhoo sits about 58 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The fastest option is a speedboat transfer arranged by the property, taking approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Travellers on a tighter budget can take the public ferry, which covers the same route in around 3.5 to 4 hours.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
