Addu is unlike most island destinations in the Maldives. Its inhabited islands like Gan, Feydhoo, Maradhoo-Feydhoo, Maradhoo, Hankede, and Hithadhoo are all linked by a 14-kilometre causeway. That means you can explore by foot, by bike, or by car—something no other atoll offers.
The Maldives is far more than a beautiful post card with clear waters and golden beaches. It ‘s a country with a deep and rich culture made up of old seafaring traditions, Islamic faith and the unique rhythms of living on an island.
Today, on June 7, 2025, the Maldives officially welcomed its 1 millionth tourist of the year, marking a record-breaking moment for the island nation’s tourism industry. Yes, you read that right — 1 million visitors before the year is even halfway through.
