Drone & Aerial
on Gan
The signature Maldives shot: you two on a white sandbank in the middle of turquoise. Flown by licensed pilots, composed from the sky. Photographed on Gan, Laamu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Gan in Laamu Atoll is one of the longest islands in the Maldives, a green ribbon of about 4,800 people some 250 km south of Malé, joined by causeway and road to Kadhdhoo airport, Fonadhoo and Maandhoo in the longest road link in the country.

Drone & Aerial on Gan: quick answers
Yes, with permissions. Drone flights require approval and local consent, and rules differ by island and resort. Our pilots are licensed and we arrange the permissions for your location in advance.
A sandbank. The classic Maldives aerial is two people on a bare white sandbank surrounded by turquoise. We take you there by boat from your island or resort, usually a 10–20 minute ride.
We arrange boat or domestic transfer, or pair you with a Coora photographer already in Laamu Atoll. If you're already staying on Gan, we meet you there; we photograph guests on their own island.
Golden hour: roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Gan session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
