Dhigurah Retreat Beach is approximately 99 km from Velana International Airport in Malé and is reached by seaplane. The guest house provides an airport shuttle service. Confirm your seaplane slot and shuttle pick-up time with the property in advance, as seaplane schedules in the Maldives are daylight-dependent.
