Getting there
The property is 149 km from Malé, reached by seaplane. An airport shuttle service is listed, which typically covers the coordination between the Malé seaplane terminal and the island. Seaplane schedules are daylight-only in the Maldives, so late-arriving international flights may require an overnight in Malé before the onward leg.
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.
Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa holds a 4.7/5 Google rating across 121 reviews. The breakfast is called out as a particular strength. The seaplane journey and beachfront position are consistent points of interest for guests choosing this property over closer alternatives.
