Fastest options: speedboat transfer. Best value: public ferry from Hulhulé to Malé.

Malé, the capital of the Maldives, is served by Velana International Airport (MLE), located on Hulhulé Island approximately 2 km northeast of Malé city center.

Journey times are short but depend on sea conditions and ferry schedules.
