EQUATOR VILLAGE MALDIVES

The ‘Line Crossing Ceremony’ as it was called in the earlier days was something of an initiation rite for travellers and sailors. In certain areas, these induction ceremonies would go on for days.
Shellbacks or the people who have already crossed the equator once before induct the Pollywogs (the newbies) in a two or more day ceremony full of entertainment out at sea.
Decades later, over in the Maldives, guests travelling to Addu, Gan are given a certificate on board the National Aircraft of Maldives, Maldivian. Announcements are made when the plan is about to cross the equator, which leads to lots of clapping and excited murmurs within the plane.
VERAGAN BAR
The bar lights up in a cheerfully warm splendour. With a good selection of all-inclusive drinks and heavenly cocktails whipped up by the bartender, guests can unwind and take the time to relax and enjoy the moment.
Special occasions calls for special preps, and as such, the spacious bar offers music for guests to enjoy – a space for dancing and lounging. Delicious drinks, beautiful scenery, and wonderful company, what more could you want on a holiday?
OPENING HOURS
Open from: 09:00 – 00:00 hours
Evening Tea: 16:00 – 18:00 hours
VAIVARU RESTAURANT
The Vaivaru restaurant sits overlooking the pool at the resort. The serene setting of this restaurant makes it the perfect spot for meal times. A variety of Western, Asian, and Oriental cuisines available at the buffet every day, your taste-buds are treated to divine tastes here.
The natural ambiance of the restaurant allows guests to sit back, and get lost in their thoughts as the food arrives. Birds chirping, the gentle sound of the winds and the ocean just across the pool, all make up for the most idyllic setting for a delicious meal.
This southernmost atoll in the Maldives is also reputed as the atoll with the most delicious culinary delicacies.
On special occasions guests are treated to some of the finest delicacies of Addu, such as the Addu Kukulhu Reha (the Addu chicken curry) which is made using the special Addu Havaadhu (a mix of spices which are only available in Addu).

SIGHTS OF ADDU
The resort organizes trips for guests who wish to go out and about on their own. Cycling or by Bicycle, the three linked islands offer some of the most special, scenic views. Sunset by the mangroves and swamps are always a special moment as the last of the sun’s golden rays linger over the swampy waters, giving an illusion swamp filled with liquid gold. With lovely mangroves balancing the eco system, and exotic birds like white terns locally known as ‘dhondheeni’ found only in selective tropical lands such as this, dotting the fresh blue skies, Addu is without doubt exquisitely special.
This is the last inhabited atoll for miles, and standing on the edge of the lush lands looking onto the vast Indian ocean where fisherman brave the seas, one can’t help but feel the swell of adventure rise in their hearts.
WATER SPORTS
For the more adventurous, adrenaline pumping water sports such as jet-skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing or perhaps if guests prefer a quieter time on the waters, a canoe ride or paddle boats will be available at the resorts' water sports centre. A qualified team of instructors are available at the resort to ensure that your time on the water is safe and fun filled.
CULINARY TOURS
The resort provides culinary tours within the atoll, where guests could take cooking lessons provided by locals or even try local delicacies such as Addu Bondi – a favorite amongst tourists and locals, (a local fine delicacy made of sweetened coconut, palm sugar and rosewater), Naaroa Faloodha (a sweetmeat made with breadfruit and flavoured with jasmine).
SNORKELLING
Snorkeling in the house reef is a wonderful way to see the pristine unbleached coral formations uniquely found in Addu.
