Isle be visiting L.Gan

As dawn broke on the day of my departure to Gan, the excitement coursing like blood through my veins was akin to the adrenaline rush I used to feel as a child on family picnics. Born with wanderlust, those day trips to nearby islands were highlight weekends of my childhood – and I knew that this weekend in Laamu, an atoll famed even amongst Maldivians as one of the most stunning in the archipelago, would be a highlight of my adult life.

The 40-minute late morning flight from Velana International Airport to Kahdhoo was uneventful but lovely. Given the choice, I would always opt for a domestic flight during the day over night. There are no words that can fully capture the beauty of Maldives as viewed from the skies; the shimmering royal blue of the ocean dotted with serene islands under the tropical sun is a sight I never tire of.
