Kuredu Island Resort & Spa 

Value meets verve

Fun and lively with plenty to do, Kuredu is an excellent choice for active types.

This large and informal resort is one of the region’s biggest islands and is particularly popular with divers. Opt for a simplistically furnished Garden Bungalow or splash out on a Sangu Water Villa – you can make a stay here as simple or swanky as you like.

Why we love Kuredu Island Resort & Spa

  • Kuredu has one of the largest populations of green sea turtles in the Maldives, often spotted feeding on the seagrass in the island’s shallow lagoons

  • The Kuredu Golf Club boasts a full-size driving range and a large putting green to perfect your short game

  • All Inclusive Gold is an excellent option to get nice-to-have extras like a spa treatment and a diving introduction

  • Super wide choice of accommodation at Kuredu
