Addu City’s Equator Village Awarded as the Leading Heritage Hotel in South Asia

Sunday 20th of December 2020

Equator Village has grabbed the award of “Leading Airport Hotel” for the second consecutive year and the “Leading Heritage Hotel” award at the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2020. This is not just any resort; it’s a whole package of unique beauty and intriguing history. Located on the upper tip of Addu Atoll’s heart-shaped landmass, Equator Village offers you the best of Maldives.

Discoveries are never-ending. Take a scenic ride of swaying palms, coastal roads lined with cafes and smiling locals through the length of 4 islands (Gan, Feydhoo, Maradhoo and Hithadhoo) joined together by causeways. More islands? Just hop on a ferry. And for local excusions, all it takes is a bicycle to leisurely cycle through the scenery and be amazed by the culture.

One thing you definitely don’t want to miss is the cultural cuisines. Equator Village offers culinary tours within the Seenu Atoll, where guests could take cooking lessons provided by locals or even try local delicacies such as Addu Bondi – a favourite 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).

This doesn’t mean you should skip out the water fun. If you like bold and adventurous, go for adrenaline-pumping water sports such as jet-skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing. If you’d like a quieter time on the waters, a canoe ride or paddle boats will be available at the resorts' water sports centre.
