Equator Village Maldives: Ultimate Guide to History, Diving & Island Life

**Equator Village Maldives** is a boutique heritage resort situated on Gan Island in the southernmost Addu Atoll, just across the equator. Once a former British Royal Air Force (RAF) base, the resort pairs colonial charm and lush botanical gardens with modern island comforts. Unlike typical private-island getaways, Gan is linked to neighboring inhabited islands by a 14-kilometer causeway, allowing guests to cycle through local fishing villages and explore cultural sites freely. It is also a premier destination for divers, offering year-round manta ray encounters and access to the *British Loyalty* shipwreck—the largest wreck dive in the Maldives.
