About Westin Miriandhoo water aerodrome
Westin Miriandhoo Seaplane Base (VR-WST) serves Westin Miriandhoo on Miriandhoo in Baa Atoll. It lies about 111 km (60 nm) from Malé, roughly 45 minutes by seaplane. Its MNATS local location indicator is RFMA, and it lies on the MLE VOR radial 333 at 59 NM. Its current resort name in the MNATS manual is The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo.
Like all water aerodromes in the Maldives, operations are daytime VFR only, and conditions on the water — wind, sea state, and tide — decide whether a departure or arrival is comfortable, marginal, or off. Seavion tracks those conditions live, refreshed every 15 minutes from MMS, METAR, and marine forecast sources.
Seaplane travel here follows the Maldives' two monsoon seasons. The northeast monsoon (iruvai, roughly December to April) generally brings drier, calmer weather, while the southwest monsoon (hulhangu, roughly May to November) tends to be wetter with stronger winds. Conditions still vary day to day, so the live outlook above is a better guide than the calendar.
