Why this trip
At the very south of the Maldives, beyond the equator, lies Addu, the southernmost atoll of the country. The island is less well known than Malé and therefore feels calmer, which suits couples who want to walk along the coast and look for neither crowds nor photo spots. The programme includes the Addu Nurse Shark Sanctuary for underwater observation and the Gaukendi Turtle Point, where turtles can be seen. If you like sunsets, you will find them at Sunset View.
For accommodation, Manta Beach Retreat and Canareef Resort Maldives appear in the data list, and questions about meals and quiet times on the beach can be settled before booking. The journey there is long: from Switzerland it takes about 10 to 12 hours, usually with a change, and in the south the onward flight comes on top. The best time to visit Addu is from November to April. Dhigurah, Maafushi, Malé and Baros Island are neighbours in the country, even if they are not around the corner.
For families with small children, the additional transfer can become tiring, so a time buffer makes sense here.
