For the frequent visitors who come to Maldives, the Addu Atoll, where the Equator Village is located, is totally different from everything they have experienced before as it brings you closer to nature as you have never before.

To reach Addu Atoll and Gan ( the island where the airport and resort is located ) you will have a scenic flight from Male to Gan and which is something you will never forget. During the 90 minutes exotic journey you will witness the real Maldives from above, all kinds of beautiful atolls, islands and of course the blue ocean beneath you passing by.

Before landing on Gan you will see that it is a large island, at least compared to the “normal” Maldivan islands. With its length of 5 km and width of 3 km it is a real island. Equator Village is located in the Gan Island , Addu atoll 1 Km from the Gan Airport. And what is more the Addu Atoll is even south of the equator. That’s probably the resort is called Equator Village.

As Island is connected to other villages by causeways tourists can freely move to see the local culture and way of life of the Maldivian people. Equator Village- Gan offers bicycle for those who wish to ride and explore the islands on their own. There is lush tropical vegetation on Gan Island and other neighboring islands. There is a long white sandy beach just 100 meters from the hotel for the guest to enjoy the coral and other marine life is ideal for snorkeling.

Forget everything you have ever heard about the Maldives - Gan is completely different. With its 5 km length and 3 km width it is the largest island in the Addu Atoll which is situated at the very southern end of the Maldives - even south of the Equator. Gan can be reached by Air from Male' (the Capital City of Maldives) in an unforgettable flight over the atolls and islands. Landing on Gan will give you a real surprise. An extraordinary vegetation expects you there; palm trees, bushes, flowers, lush green fields. By the way - most of the bananas served in the Maldives are grown on in this area. Next to Gan are four other islands of approximately the same size - and all are interconnected by bridges. On these islands approximately 25000 Maldivian are making their livelihood out of fishery and agriculture.

Gan was a British Navy and an Air force base from 1912 to 1974. For this reason the island is very well equipped. Many roads and paths are there and can be used for biking and hiking. There is even an 18-hole Golf Course on Gan which is, however, for the time being not in use. It is of course easily possible to visit the various islands by walking or even better by bicycle. The people are very friendly and most of them also speak English. There are many beautiful spots on each of the islands where one can take a swim or discover the beautiful fishes of the sea by snorkeling. As a special surprise there is even a lake on one of the islands where from October to March many birds that are residing here can be seen.
