The day of my first visit to Hulhumeedhoo dawned bright with a smattering of clouds; a good omen heralding the lovely, adventurous three days ahead. Speaking of firsts, it was my first trip to Addu as well, the beautiful heart-shaped atoll that marks the southernmost borders of the Maldivian archipelago. Bucket list? Tick.
I arrived in Addu the day before, on a 90-minute Maldivian flight with a breathtaking view of the sunset, that bore my small group of friends from Velana International Airport to Gan. From there, it was a 10-minute speedboat transit to Canareef Resort Maldives in Herathera island; our lovely lodging for this long weekend.
