How to reach Joy Island Maldives by The Cocoon Collection
Joy Island sits in North Malé Atoll and is reached by a 40-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport. The property arranges the airport shuttle. At 39 km from the airport, it is a relatively short transfer by Maldives standards — no domestic flight or seaplane connection required.
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.
