How to reach Sunrise Beach and Spa
Maafushi sits approximately 28 km from Velana International Airport. The standard route is by public ferry or shared speedboat. The guest house also has an airport shuttle service. Maafushi is one of the more accessible local islands on a scheduled ferry route, making it a practical choice for travellers without large transfer budgets.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
