Access to the island is by boat from the Malé city centre. Depending on the boat type and weather conditions, the transit typically takes a short duration given its proximity to the city.
Duration of Visit
Most visitors allocate a few hours to a full day to spend time on the beach and relax. The amount of time depends on whether you are visiting for a quick break or a full day of picnicking.
