Moments Beyond Relaxation

Addu Atoll is recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, celebrated for its pristine coral reefs, uninhabited islands, mangroves, and freshwater lakes. Protected eco-sites include Kudakandu Lagoon, Maakilhi and Fehele Kilhi in Hithadhoo, Maafishi Kilhi in Hulhudhoo, and Mathikilhi at the edge of Hulhudhoo–Meedhoo. Guests can enjoy birdwatching, spot the rare white tern (Dhondheeni) found only here, and witness dolphins and whales thriving in these waters. Remarkably, Addu’s reefs remain among the healthiest in the Maldives, untouched by past coral bleaching events.

Addu City is the second largest in the Maldives, with a unique charm unlike anywhere else in the country. Gan International Airport connects Addu to Malé and beyond, making travel smooth and easy. Paved causeways link multiple islands, allowing guests to cycle or drive across local communities, bustling harbors, small shops, and lively markets. The people of Addu are deeply rooted in tourism and hospitality, bringing warmth and genuine Maldivian spirit to every visitor.

Unlike most Maldivian atolls, Addu is naturally land-locked, forming a sheltered harbor perfect for vessels year-round. Coconut palms, taro fields, and freshwater lakes dot the islands, creating a lush, tropical landscape. From the southernmost point of the Maldives, sunsets feel endless, and the balance of nature, history, and culture makes Addu an unforgettable destination for those seeking more than just beaches.
