If you want to experience the REAL Maldives from a local island, with all it's deserted white beaches that you can roam freely, you should go to Gan! And while you are there, let our top professional dive center take you snorkeling on some of the best dive sites the Maldives has to offer.

Gan has miles of deserted milky white beaches, turqouise lagoons, isolated sandbanks, famous surf breaks, coconut plantations, ancient natural forest and a stunning red lake in a forest clearing. The island is linked by bridges to Kadhdhoo and Fonadhoo, providing 16km of discovery from north to south, yet a 3 minute walk takes you from one shore to the other.

Aside from the incredible marine life below the surface, Gan provides the total experience for a special and unique connection with the beauty of the Maldives.

Location
Laamu is an incredibly beautiful atoll south of the capital Male. A 35 minute flight over 5 atolls starts your trip with breathtaking views. This southern part of the Maldives is way less travelled and the island of Gan still enjoys a largely undiscovered status. Staying on a local inhabited island provides a very different, very REAL Maldivian experience, where the locals are eager to welcome explorers. Gan has natural forests, several villages to discover and miles upon miles of deserted milky white beaches.

Your resort
Honors Residence is a tasteful little boutique hotel of 26 rooms around a pool. You find ooms with the standard of a luxury resort, and economy rooms for those who wants comfort on a budget. The hotel is 2 minutes from the middle of a 4km stretch of the white sandy (and picture perfect) beach.

Your Room
Rooms come with wooden floors, A/C, king size beds in the lovely deluxe rooms and twin beds in the standard rooms, TV and fridge (You will not find beer in the fridge though, since alcohol is outlawed on all local inhabited islands). All rooms have private bathrooms with hot and cold water. You find free Wifi in the lobby area.
