- Resort Transfer Conditions: Anantara posts $45 (tax included) one way for a boat connection. There is no dock, so you have to wade in the water when boarding and disembarking, so if you need help, you must notify us in advance. Helicopter ride takes about 15 minutes from the airport, costs $345 per person one way, requires a minimum of 2 people, and is affected by external companies, weather, and reservation conditions.Source page body recorded in the research file · checked 2026-11-01 · anantara.com ↗
