Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, South Ari Atoll — Transfers, Villas and Package Prices

Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives is a 5-star island in South Ari Atoll. About 25 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so an evening arrival into Malé means a night in the city before the hop across.

One of the few places whale sharks are seen year-round rather than seasonally, along the southern rim.
