Getting there
The G Ten Holiday Inn is in Hulhumalé, 3 km from Velana International Airport. The transfer is by taxi across the Sinamalé Bridge — no boat is needed. Hulhumalé is part of the Greater Malé area, so the journey is short and straightforward for early-morning or late-night arrivals.
An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
