With over 1,000 islands and surrounded by the vast expanses of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a truly unique country; getting around this nation is different as well be it by air or on water.
Seaplane
Resorts in Maldives are typically located on private islands; depending on their location, you will have to take a seaplane (domestic or private) to get there from the intentional airport in Male. These include properties the likes of Adaaran Prestige Water Villas and the experience offers unforgettable vistas of the country from up high.
Speedboat
While speedboats are used for thrilling activities to do in Maldives such as water-skiing and wakeboarding, they also offer convenient modes of transport. This is especially true for resorts located close to the capital, Male, or other domestic airports. You can find tour operators offering speedboat charters to various atolls as well.
Ferries
A relatively cheaper form of transport in Maldives, public ferries are ideal for those looking to head to one of the inhabited islands from Male or between other local islands. Some even connect to quite remote islands though do check the schedule and times ahead since they may not run daily.
Dhoni
The dhoni is the name given to a traditional boat that is used by local fishermen. However, resorts have modified such vessels and they are now used for various excursions too. You could embark on a voyage on a dhoni to visit inhabited or uninhabited islands, spot dolphins or just take in magical sunsets.
