Send a message to your guest house, and they will book your flights at a price that is two times lower than the airline's website. The staff of the hotel will greet you at the Hanimaadhoo air terminal if you are departing from Male.Additionally, if you have the time and perseverance, you can travel to Kelaa from/in Male on a weekly food boat that also serves as a passenger ship.

One of the largest enthralled islets, with a length of three kilometres and a width of less than one kilometres, is Kelaa Island, which is also significant geologically for the Thiladhummathi Atoll in the north of the Maldives. The succulent green islet boasts 2.5 kilometres of white, deep, and delicate beach, which is arranged precisely from north to south and is one of the nation's longest ocean props. The Kelaa Ocean Props are 7.5 kilometres long overall. There are no barriers or walls because the design of the ocean reinforcement is driven by nature. Simply put, you'll find your place in the sun without much difficulty.

On the islet, on your special night, the dense foliage creates an amazing sense of security and makes you feel distant from everyone else. On the eastern side, the ocean reinforcement is less strong and has a rougher beach. The ocean props are routinely cleaned by nearby residents.
