Getting there
Hathaa Beach Maldives is in Hulhumalé, approximately 3 km from Velana International Airport. The connection is by road across the Sinamalé Bridge — an airport taxi is the standard transfer, and the guest house runs its own airport shuttle. No seaplane or domestic flight is involved.
An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
