How to reach Palmrest
Palmrest is on Kaashidhoo island, approximately 85 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. Access is by seaplane or domestic flight. Travel time depends on the operator and schedule. Kaashidhoo is a local island rather than a private resort island, so some guests may also reach it by ferry.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
The journey
Step by step
- Fly to Malé. Arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE), the Maldives' main international gateway, served by direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Seaplane transfer. Transfer onward by scenic seaplane over the atolls — roughly 85 km. Seaplanes operate in daylight hours only, so a late arrival may mean an overnight in Malé.
- Arrive at Palmrest. Settle in and start your stay.
