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.
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.
