How to reach Beach Star Maldives
Beach Star Maldives is on Hangnaameedhoo in South Ari Atoll, 74 km from Velana International Airport. The standard transfer is a shared speedboat taking around 1 hour 15 minutes, priced at $35 one-way or $70 return per person. A private speedboat is available on request. Alternatively, a domestic flight to Maamigili Airport followed by a short speedboat also connects to the island.
Shared speedboats this far from Malé typically cost about $30–100 per person each way, depending on distance, and run to a timetable rather than on demand — confirm the day and time with the property. Where the public ferry runs, it costs only a few dollars.
