About Addu Atoll

Addu Atoll — also known as Seenu Atoll — is the southernmost atoll in the Maldives and the most geographically distinct. Unlike the classic ring atolls of the central Maldives, Addu is characterised by a series of islands connected by causeways, and has its own unique cultural identity shaped by its former role as a British RAF base. The atoll's relative inaccessibility has preserved extraordinary marine environments, and it remains one of the Maldives' best-kept secrets for serious divers.
