Addu Atholhu (Seenu Atoll)

Where Maldives' Southern Charms Unfold

Addu Atholhu is a beautiful jewel tucked in the Maldives' southern embrace. This atoll unveils its mysteries with each step, encouraging you to explore, relax, and be enchanted. It is also known as Seenu Atoll and it is the Maldives' second biggest atoll, located 541 kilometres south of Malé. Its principal islands, Hithadhoo, Gan, Maradhoo, Feydhoo, Hulhudhoo, Meedhoo, and Hoarafushi, each contribute to the atoll's distinct appeal.

The atoll has a history that spans over two millennia, with legends of its original settlers coming from Sri Lanka and India. During the 16th and 17th centuries, it grew into a busy trade hub, weaving stories of connection and commerce. Even World War II made its imprint, with the British establishing an airbase on Gan Island, which is strategically located in the vast Indian Ocean.
