How to reach

Getting there

25 min speedboat from MLE

Velassaru is reached by speedboat (25 min) from Velana International Airport (MLE) in South Malé Atoll.

Daylight-only seaplane operations (06:00–15:30) mean late-arriving long-haul flights may require an overnight in Malé before continuing — Resortlife coordinates the full air-and-sea chain when you book through us.
