But, if such miniature confines are a bit too claustrophobic or if you simply enjoy a good bike ride, then the best island is Gan. Gan is the largest island in the Maldives with several resorts.</p> <p>In particular, <a href="http://maldivescomplete.com/maldivesv/Profiles/Profile%20rm4b.aspx?resort=110">Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa</a> offers guided bicycle tours in the Addu atoll.</p> <p><i>&ldquo;Explore by bicycle the five neighbouring islands connected by a 17-kilometre road that is the longest in Maldives. Set out with a picnic and discover the fascinating lifestyle and culture of untouched Maldivian villages or stop at a coffee shop to chat with the locals over a meal.&rdquo;</i></p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://maldivescomplete.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=613" width="1" height="1">best ofShangri-LaGansport
