03

Transfers

Ukulhas is about 72 km north of Malé. Most guests arrive by scheduled speedboat, usually 60 to 90 minutes depending on sea conditions, and a public ferry also runs less often. Coral Transfer provides current speedboat information. Send your flight details and we'll help coordinate it.

Tell us early. If no boat runs that late, we'll help you plan an overnight near Malé or Hulhumalé and travel to the island the next morning.

04

Tours & excursions

Message Ostrov Tours on WhatsApp at +960 998 9899 with your dates. Manta snorkeling, sandbank picnics, diving, fishing and weddings are all bookable in a single chat.

Yes. Sea trips depend on weather and conditions, and marine life is wild, so sightings are never guaranteed. We'll advise the best timing and reschedule when needed.

05

Island & local rules

Yes, on the designated bikini beach. In the village please dress modestly, and respect prayer times and local customs, as Ukulhas is a local island community.

As a local island, Ukulhas is alcohol-free; our Café & Bar serves great coffee, fresh juices and sunset mocktails instead.

06

Payments & cancellations

Card and cash are accepted on the island. We'll confirm deposit and payment details when you book.

Policies vary by rate and season; we'll always state the cancellation terms clearly before you confirm.
