Saaremaa is reached by [[TS Laevad]]'s [[ferry|ferries]] from [[Virtsu]] on the Estonian mainland to [[Kuivastu]] on [[Muhu]] island, which is itself connected to Saaremaa by a [[causeway]], the [[Väinatamm]]. Saaremaa can also be reached by ferry from [[Sõru]] on the island of [[Hiiumaa]] to Triigi. There are also passenger services from [[Roomassaare]] to the smaller island of [[Abruka]]. During many winters it is possible to drive to Saaremaa by an [[ice road]] between the mainland and Muhu or between Saaremaa and the island of [[Hiiumaa]].

There are regular bus services from [[Tallinn]], [[Pärnu]] and [[Tartu]] on the mainland, which use the ferry from Virtsu to Muhu.

[[Kuressaare Airport]] offers regular flights to Tallinn operated by [[NyxAir]]. There are regular services to [[Ruhnu]] and [[Pärnu]] operated by [[Diamond Sky]].

Historically there was a Soviet air base at [[Aste Airfield]] during the [[Cold War]]. Plans to connect Saaremaa to the mainland by either bridge or tunnel are being studied.
