Gan

Gan sits at the southern tip of Addu City, where a former British RAF base became Gan International Airport, the Maldives' second international gateway. Wide, flat former-base roads, the Equator Village resort and world-famous wreck and reef dives give the island an unusually spacious, historic feel, and a 14-kilometre causeway links it north to Feydhoo, Maradhoo and the administrative centre of Hithadhoo. The investment thesis is tied to the long-standing national ambition to grow Addu into a second economic and tourism hub, with opportunities in guesthouses, resorts and aviation-linked services. As everywhere in the country, there is no foreign freehold, so participation is through lease, operation or licensed development. The honest counterweight is execution risk: Addu is far from Male, several development plans have advanced slowly, and tourism volumes trail the central atolls, leaving returns reliant on sustained public investment.
