Getting there
Keyodhoo is roughly 81 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer is by seaplane, which is the standard mode of access for islands at this distance. The inn lists an airport shuttle service, so confirm the exact pickup and drop-off arrangements with the property 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.

“The night before departure, we received our invoice via WhatsApp... Fishing trip $80 per hour in which we have never agreed on and kept us for 3h. So the total sum was $667.”
“Exceptionally friendly and guest-oriented staff. They helped a lot with many minor things during our stay. Local guide Saandu proposes very entertaining and price-worthy trips.”
“The island's beaches are really dirty compared to other islands in the atoll. There is glass all over the beach.”
“Svegliarsi col rumore delle onde del mare è impagabile! I ragazzi sono tutti estremamente gentili e sempre a disposizione.”
“20 metrů od hotelu na ohni prakticky 2x denně se spalují odpady, plasty a s tím souvisí kouř a zápach.”
