Noonu Atoll · 05°39.8′N 73°16.4′E

Velidhoo

Far north, and a seaplane to the island itself.

A local island in Noonu Atoll, far enough north that the boat from Malé takes most of a morning, with a scheduled seaplane that lands at the island rather than at a resort.

Before you fly

Getting to Velidhoo

How do I get to Velidhoo from Malé airport?

By seaplane: a scheduled seaplane from Velana International Airport lands at Velidhoo itself on Wednesday and Friday, in about 45 minutes, with no boat transfer. On other days, fly to a nearby resort lagoon such as Cheval Blanc Randheli and take a short boat, or speedboat from malé, around 3.5 hours.

Is there a direct seaplane to Velidhoo?

Yes. Velidhoo is one of the few local islands with a scheduled seaplane that lands at the island itself, on Wednesday and Friday (as announced; days can change and are confirmed with your booking).

How long is the seaplane flight to Velidhoo?

About 45 minutes from Malé (166.1 km, heading 350°). It is an estimate; confirmed times come with your booking.

What time do I need to land in Malé to reach Velidhoo the same day?

By about 14:30 on a day the scheduled seaplane flies, and earlier is safer - check the departure time when you book. Seaplanes fly in daylight only.

Can I book a return seaplane from Velidhoo?

Yes. Choose Return in the planner and give your flight home; we match it to a scheduled day or a lagoon rotation that reaches Malé in daylight.
