About Gan Island

Gan Island is one of the 1,192 coral islands that make up the Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean. Located just south of the equator, Gan Island is part of Addu Atoll, which has the largest population among the seven administrative regions of the Maldives. The island is the second largest island of the Addu Atoll, after Hithadhoo.

Gan Island had a long history as a British colony and even hosted the British navy and air base during World War II. During that time warplanes would land and take off from that airbase, which today serves as the international airport. One of the most popular tourist centers of the Maldives, Gan Island is an intriguing destination for diving enthusiasts thanks to its vibrant corals and rich underwater sea life.

Wreck diving enthusiasts are particularly drawn to the 1944 British oil tanker, British Loyalty. The ship features ideal diving conditions, in terms of depth. Gan Island experiences a tropical climate, as does the rest of the country. Gan International Airport is located 3.3 km from the city.
