How to reach Royal Island Resort & Spa
Royal Island is 120 km from Malé and requires a domestic flight followed by a speedboat transfer. It is one of the more remote resorts in the Maldives in practical travel terms. Guests staying seven or more nights can claim 50% off domestic transfer costs under the current booking promotion, which runs on stays until 30 September 2026.
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 journey
Step by step
- Fly to Malé. Arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE), the Maldives' main international gateway, served by direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 120 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Royal Island Resort & Spa. Settle in and start your stay.
