LOCATION DETAILS:
Voavah Private Island is located in the Indian Ocean’s Baa Atoll, in the Maldives. This area spans 1,200 square kilometers of pristine water and comprises 75 islands (13 of which remain inhabited). This area is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Here the water is called home to the world’s biggest known population of manta rays and one of the richest coral-reef systems on earth.

The island is a 40-minute seaplane ride from Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (Male). An eight-seater, VIP seaplane or standard, 15-seater seaplane (20 kilograms/44 pounds of luggage per person) is used. Seaplanes fly during daylight hours only. After these hours (4 pm Local Time onwards), a private 20-minute domestic flight option to nearby Dharavandhoo Airport may be arranged, with a connecting 40-minute boat ride to the island.

As the private island, Voavah, is part of the renowned four-seasons resort (The main island is a short boat ride away), guests enjoy the added amenities and services from the resort. Services that can be arranged for your stay at Voavah include:
