My two sons and I stayed at Equator Village in June 2025. For the price and convenience to Gan Airport this resort is a great choice. PROS: 1) Near Gan Airport, so it is quick to/from resort. This is especially useful if you are coming from Sri Lanka as Sri Lankan Airlines has direct flights to Gan Island. 2) There is a reef just off shore, which has really nice snorkeling. Nearly as good as any you will find by boat 3) Good Value: Staff, food and room are good for the price 4) Because this isn't a "trapped" resort, for guests it is much easier to go see other parts of Addu Atoll. 5) Staff are really nice.

Getting there
Equator Village lies about 544 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Gan, roughly 1.2 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Addu Atoll is far enough from Malé that the usual route is a domestic flight followed by a boat or road transfer; confirm the connection with the property before booking international flights.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Muladdu Inn (800 m), Fiyala Homestay (850 m) and Quest by Entrance (1.0 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

Equator Village averages 4.2 out of 5 across 404 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Stayed after a diving safari for a view days in this hotel. Its close to the airport and the safari boat jetty. Was a nice stay and absolutely worth, we enjoyed our downtime after a week of diving.
Equator Manager will try to make this review as hate and inaccurate. But EQUATOR VILLAGE is not the best place to stay if you are visiting addu. This place is old and the place is falling apart. Don’t believe their marketing pictures. ( waiting for mr. Waheed to respond)
