Getting there and arrival
How to think about your trip from Malé to Ukulhas. Times and schedules are set by operators and can change, so confirm the details before you travel.
-
Fly to Malé (MLE)
Velana International Airport is your gateway to the Maldives. Plan your inbound flight around the transfer that gets you to Ukulhas.
-
Confirm your Ukulhas transfer in advance
Ukulhas is reached from Malé by scheduled speedboat or public ferry. Schedules are set by the operator, so confirm your timing and cost with the property before you travel.

Follow the hotel's pickup and arrival instructions
After you land and clear immigration, follow the arrival coordination from Ostrov, including any pickup and the departure point.

Report to Airport Counter D11 only if instructed
Many Ukulhas hotels use Airport Counter D11 in the arrivals area. Go there only when your hotel or transfer operator tells you to; it is not automatic for every stay.
