How to reach Noorani Retreat
Dhiffushi sits approximately 34 km from Malé. The connection runs by public ferry or shared speedboat, making it one of the more accessible local islands in the atoll without requiring a seaplane. Confirm current ferry schedules with the guest house before you travel, as timings vary.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
