How to reach Meri Maldives
Meri Maldives is in Hulhumalé, approximately 4 km from Velana International Airport. The standard route is by taxi across the Sinamalé Bridge — no boat transfer needed. The guest house also runs an airport shuttle at an extra charge. The location gives quick access to the airport and the wider Greater Malé area.
An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
