Seenu (Addu) Atoll

Equator Village

A serene retreat on Gan Island, situated directly on the Equator, imbued with the patina of history and enriched by the Addu Atoll's culture. Tranquil, extraordinary, and perfectly tropical — it's a resort unlike any other in the Maldives. Located on Gan Island in Addu Atoll, the southernmost atoll of the Maldives, Equator Village sits on a former British RAF base that operated until 1976. The island is connected to 5 other islands by causeways, creating a total chain of nearly 20 km to explore by complimentary bicycle. With 78 bungalows set in lush gardens, one of the biggest swimming pools in the Maldives, a PADI dive centre, spa, and proximity to the largest shipwreck in the Maldives (British Loyalty), Equator Village offers the opportunity to enjoy both local and resort life.
