Overview
Description
An hour’s scenic plane ride away, Equator Village, located on the upper tip of Addu Atoll’s heart-shaped landmass comes in a package of unique beauty and intriguing history.
An exotic adventure begins, the moment you start your journey to Equator Village. This is not your typical Maldivian resort; this is an equatorial escape into a land of culture and nature entwined together.
The resort is vast in size, with a forestry of green, large shady trees looming overhead. This makes for incredible bird watching in the evenings and early mornings as trees are busy with the ‘Dhondheeni’ who call these their home.
Tree lined pathways through courtyard gardens lead to the quaint and chic bungalows, in the midst of tropical blooms, each with comfortable white wicker seating in spacious verandas. Only a few feet away from the rooms are soft sandy beaches and inviting turquoise waters that sparkle beyond the beaches. With the unique blend of beauty, rich history and endless possibilities for adventure, Equator Village is the ideal getaway for those who wish to experience a different side of the Maldives.

The rooms are cozy, spacious, and designed to give you the most comfortable nights’ sleep. The resort offers 78 rooms, with two basic categories of rooms. Simple and comfortable standard rooms offering a cozy shack and the twin sharing room offering a living space fitted with all the amenities and a mini-bar, with the adjoining door leading to the bedroom.
Each room type opens up to lush vegetation just outside, where guests can relax and read a book under the massive trees.
The rooms are separated by thick green shrubs blooming with pretty flowers. During the day, guests are treated to their very own ‘nat-geo’ moment of the bumble bees and butterflies buzzing around the flowers. Apart from the slight buzzing and humming of these exquisite insects, the resort tends to be quiet throughout the day.
The sound of waves (because of the beaches close proximity to the room) are something of a night jingle (but in a softer, more soothing tone).
Wine & Dine
Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon 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).

Pristine reefs teamed with exotic species of fish, and year around mantas makes diving in Equator Village awe-inspiring. Divers get to see the largest dive wreck in Maldives – the British Loyalty, a historic treasure spanning 140 meters.
The British Loyalty was an old Royal Navy fuel tanker that had seen action against German U-Boats during World War II. 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, parrot fish, barracuda and grouper.
