How to reach Ifuru Island Maldives
Travel to Ifuru Island Maldives begins with a domestic flight from Malé (Velana International Airport) to Ifuru Airport (IFU), located just 0.35 km from the resort. The flight duration is about 30-32 minutes. This unique arrangement allows guests to land directly on the island, the only resort in the Maldives with its own private airport.
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

- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 178 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Ifuru Island Maldives. Settle in and start your stay.
