Kuredu Resort & Spa sits on its own private island in the Maldives\u2019 Lhaviyani Atoll, a region known for pristine lagoons, channels rich in marine life and picture-perfect sandbanks. The long, narrow island gives you plenty of space to explore, with quieter stretches of beach, lively pool areas and dedicated zones for families and couples.

The surrounding waters are a major draw: you\u2019ve got easy access to the house reef for snorkelling, and the atoll is renowned for turtles, rays and seasonal pelagics. With bikes, buggies and sandy paths, it feels like a relaxed island village, but with postcard views at every turn.

Kuredu Island, Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives

Kuredu is one of the more extensive islands in the Maldives, and the dining offering reflects that. Expect several main buffet restaurants (usually allocated by room category or area of the island) serving international and Maldivian dishes, live cooking stations and themed nights.

Franco’s brings Mediterranean comfort favourites, from wood-fired pizzas to fresh pasta and grilled seafood, while The Far East specialises in Asian flavours \u2013 think sushi, teppanyaki-style cooking and delicately spiced curries. Add in beach bars, pool bars and relaxed snack spots for light bites, ice creams and sundowners and you have plenty of variety for longer stays.

All Inclusive options typically include buffet meals, selected drinks and snacks in designated venues and hours, with à la carte, premium brands and certain experiences subject to a supplement. Exact inclusions can change, so we’ll confirm the latest details when you enquire. What All Inclusive typically includes.

With three freshwater swimming pools dotted around the island, it’s easy to find a spot that suits your mood \u2013 from more sociable main pools with nearby bars to quieter areas for reading and dozing. A separate kids\u2019 pool helps families splash without worrying about disturbing couples.

The real star, though, is the 3.5km ribbon of talc-soft beach encircling Kuredu, plus the shallow lagoon that makes wading, paddling and beginner-friendly snorkelling a breeze. Sun loungers and parasols are set up along key stretches, with easy access to bars for cold drinks between dips.

At the spa, treatment pavilions tucked among palms and by the water offer massages, body scrubs, facials and couples\u2019 rituals that make the most of the Maldivian setting. It’s a natural wind-down after an active day on and under the water.

Sports facilities are extensive for an island this size: expect a fitness area, tennis courts, paddle sports, football and more, along with a well-equipped water sports centre for kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and windsurfing. A professional dive centre (often PADI-affiliated) runs courses and boat trips to some of Lhaviyani Atoll’s best sites, from turtle-rich reefs to channels where you may spot rays and reef sharks.

Elsewhere on the island you’ll find boutiques, a photo studio, occasional evening entertainment and relaxed lounges and decks for simply soaking up the sunset.

Garden Bungalows
Tucked among lush greenery, Garden Bungalows are a great-value way to experience the island. Expect simple, comfortable interiors with air-conditioning, a double or twin beds, bathroom with shower, and a furnished terrace leading onto the gardens. Ideal if you plan to spend most of your time on the beach or by the pool but still want a peaceful corner to retreat to.

Beach Bungalows
Set just steps from the sand, Beach Bungalows offer that classic Maldivian wake-up-and-walk-out-to-the-sea feeling. Interiors are styled in warm woods and light tones, with air-con, ceiling fan, minibar, tea and coffee facilities and a terrace or veranda looking towards the lagoon. Some are better placed for sunrise or sunset, and your Travelisto specialist can advise on locations.

Villas and Over-water-style Options (selected categories)
Beyond the bungalows, Kuredu offers a range of villas, including some set over the water or on stilts above the lagoon in adults-leaning areas of the island. These usually add extra space, upgraded amenities, direct access to the sea and, in some cases, more privacy. Special age restrictions can apply in certain villa categories or wings to preserve a quieter atmosphere.

Whatever you choose, you can expect daily housekeeping, Wi-Fi access, ensuite shower room, safe and air-conditioning as standard, with higher categories layering on extras such as espresso machines, enhanced minibars or dedicated sun decks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I get from Malé Airport to Kuredu Resort & Spa?
Most guests travel via a domestic flight from Malé to a nearby local airport, followed by a speedboat transfer to Kuredu. The total journey usually takes around 45 minutes, depending on schedules and weather. Your exact routing and timings will be confirmed on your Travelisto confirmation and may change if your international flight times are amended.

2. Is Kuredu Resort & Spa suitable for children?
Yes. While the Maldives is often associated with honeymoons, Kuredu is very family-friendly, with a kids\u2019 pool, children\u2019s club, family-orientated areas and plenty of activities. Some room categories and zones of the island are reserved for adults or older teens to maintain a quieter atmosphere, so we’ll help select the best combination for your family.

3. What is the difference between the All Inclusive options?
Kuredu offers several meal plans, from Full Board (meals without most drinks included) through to standard All Inclusive, All Inclusive Plus and more premium packages. As you move up the levels, you generally gain a wider selection of beverages, access to additional venues, extended hours and sometimes included activities or special dinners. Because inclusions can change, your Travelisto specialist will provide the latest, detailed breakdown before you book.

4. Do I need to be able to swim to enjoy Kuredu?
Strong swimming is recommended if you plan to snorkel the house reef or join deeper-water excursions, but non-swimmers can still enjoy the shallow lagoon, pools and boat trips while wearing life jackets. Many activities are also land-based, from tennis and fitness to spa treatments and sunset cruises where you don\u2019t need to get in the water at all.

5. Is Wi-Fi available on the island?
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in many public areas and in most room types at Kuredu Resort & Spa. Speeds can vary due to the remote location, and coverage may not match an urban hotel, but it’s generally sufficient for messaging, browsing and sharing your favourite sunset shots.

6. Are there any dress codes at Kuredu Resort & Spa?
Daytimes are very relaxed and beachwear is standard around the pools and beaches. In the evenings, the main expectation is resort-casual: no swimwear in restaurants, and usually no bare feet or wet clothing. Some à la carte venues may suggest smart-casual; packed light maxi dresses, polos and tailored shorts work perfectly.

7. Is Kuredu Resort & Spa a good choice for a honeymoon?
Yes, Kuredu is an excellent option for honeymooners who want a romantic setting with more choice of things to do. You can spend lazy days on the beach, book couples\u2019 spa rituals, arrange private dinners on the sand and head out on sunset cruises. Honeymoon offers may include in-room treats such as wine, macarons and sweets when you travel within a certain period of your wedding date.
