dhoni for a day trip. Boats to Hulhumale’, which is the
overspill island for the capital and located on the other side
of the airport island, depart from the brand-new ferry terminal
east of the airport ferry dock.
Dhonis to nearby Viligili use the New Harbour on the southwest
corner of Male’.
Safari boats and private yachts usually moor between Male’
island and Viligili, or in the lagoon west of Hulhumale’.
Safari-boat operators will normally pick up new passengers from
the airport or Male’, and ferry them directly to the boat.
All international flights to the Maldives use
Male’ International Airport which is on a separate island,
Hulhule’, about 2km east of Male’ island.Domestic flights and
seaplane transfers to resorts also use Hulhule’.
Male’ is linked by daily scheduled flights to Colombo, Qatar,
Dubai and Trivandrum and less frequently with Singapore, Kuala
Lumpur, Vienna and Moscow. Charter flights connect Male’ several
times a week with many western European capitals.
