Equator Village ADDU, MALDIVES
A tropical haven of colonial charm, mixed with the unique beauty of the southern Maldives, Equator Village is the ideal home away from home for those who wish to experience a different side of the beautiful Maldives archipelago. A former Royal Air Force sergeants’ mess
until 1976, when the British operated an airbase in Addu, Equator Village still boasts the historic military buildings and pretty English gardens that make the resort so distinct. It’s one of the few resorts in the Maldives
that’s connected to local islands — via the Addu causeway. This means guests can explore the culture of neighbouring island villages by bike. The resort has 78 spacious bungalows opening
onto pretty courtyard gardens. Each room is spacious and elegant, designed with simple elegance, and has its own veranda overlooking tropical flowers and plants, including native tree species such as coconut, bilimbi and frangipani. The resort has recently undergone a tasteful
refurbishment and has been upgraded and rebranded as a boutique hotel, with an upgraded
reception area, restaurant, bar, pool, gm and beachfront. The resort has a stylish and spacious feel, while still retaining its historic charm. Pristine reefs teem with exotic species of fish
and year-round mantas, which makes diving around Equator Village truly awe-inspiring. Divers get to see the largest dive wreck in the Maldives — the British Loyalty, a historic treasure spanning some 460ft. British Loyalty was an old Royal Navy fuel tanker that saw action during the Second World War. Having been damaged beyond repair, the ship was sunk to its final resting place at the bottom of the Addu channel a half century ago. Today, the wreck is an artificial reef that supports a multitude of marine life including giant wrasses, parrotfish, barracuda and grouper. Enjoy the freshest local cuisine at Equator
Village, which sources much of its vegetables from the resort’s very own vegetable gardens. What’s more, the resort provides culinary tours within the atoll, where guests can take cooking lessons provided by locals or even try local delicacies.
