How to get to Coco Palm

There is only one way to reach Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu and that is by seaplane. The 30-minute seaplane journey from Malé International Airport provides guests with a spectacular introduction to their holiday - a panoramic view of the azure lagoons and meandering atolls.

It offers a glimpse of the natural beauty that accompanies your Maldives vacation. Upon landing, you step into one of the world's essential sanctuaries - a designated UNESCO biosphere reserve teeming with extraordinary marine life and vibrant reefs.

There are no boat-only transfers to Coco Palm due to the distance from Malé (118km or 73 miles).
