The Southern Gem of the Maldives
Fly from Malé (Velana International Airport) to Gan International Airport — a scenic hop just over an hour. From Gan, a unique chain of causeways connects multiple islands by road, perfect for car, scooter, or cycling.
Heart‑Shaped Atoll: Addu forms a natural heart seen from above — a symbol of serenity and romance.
Causeway Road Network: Drive or cycle across islands on sea‑spanning roads — a rare experience in the Maldives.
Living Heritage: Discover Addu’s dialect, crafts, and WWII stories from the days of RAF Gan.
As the largest island and southern gateway, Gan blends heritage and nature. Visit the RAF cinema, war memorial, and coastal trails, then continue across the causeways to cafes, dive centers, and guesthouses. Tip: Combine a heritage walk with sunset at a sandbank for the perfect first day.
Addu’s cuisine celebrates the sea and coconut groves. Try Mas Huni, Garudhiya, octopus curry, and tropical fruits — often served community‑style on banana leaves.
Explore Eidhigali Kilhi wetlands and coastal lakes, spot white terns (dhondheeni), and join reef‑friendly activities with local guides.
Diving & Snorkeling: British Loyalty WWII wreck, year‑round manta rays, coral gardens, advanced channel dives.
Cultural Experiences: Village walks, RAF sites, Meedhoo cemeteries, traditional music and food tours.
Adventures: Cycle the causeways, dolphin cruises, night fishing, sandbank picnics, kayaking.
