Kuredu Island Resort & Spa

Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives

Kuredu is one of the biggest resorts in the Maldives, but has been beautifully designed to create different resorts within a resort. Split into 4 main areas – ‘Bonthi and Koamas’ are near all of the main facilities and designed with families in mind. The ‘Sangu’ Resort is a collection of water villas for those looking for exclusivity and luxury while the ‘O Resort’ is perfect for couples due to the quieter nature of the location.

The island is situated on the north side of secluded Lhaviyani Atol with access to some of the best diving in the Maldives. The house reef is easily accessible from the 3.5km of white sandy beach and features coral gardens, several species of fish and a small wreck. 

The resort is a mix of relaxation and action in equal measure. You can find your own calm oasis or get involved in a range of activities both on land and in the water. Being such a large resort you can have your pick of many activities that other resorts wouldn’t feature like golf, cycling, football and cricket! There is the biggest water sports centre in the Maldives here offering a number of motorised and non-motorised activities as well as a bar and ice cream parlour!

Kuredu is a brilliant all round resort that has a lot to offer and has price points to suit all visitors.

Getting there
Getting to the Maldives is pretty straightforward with many quality carriers stopping once en-route to Male. The most popular airlines tend to be Emirates, Qatar and Etihad who each have a short transit and arrive into your destination at a sensible hour. There are direct flights with British Airways from November to March from London Gatwick, but only 3 days per week. The flight time is around 11 hours to Male from London.

Upon arrival in Male we arrange for you to be met by our ground representatives and shown to your seaplane or speedboat transfer. The journey time is approximately 40 mins by seaplane. We also liaise with the resort to arrange your speedboat transfer back to Male to tie in with your international flights or onward connections.
