Kuredu Island Resort & Spa
A full island to yourself — reef, restaurants, and real space.
An island resort on Kuredu Island
Kuredu Island Resort & Spa occupies its own island in Lhaviyani Atoll, about 151 km from Malé and reached by a domestic flight followed by a speedboat transfer. The island has 7 restaurants, a spa, a kids' club, a fitness centre, and a house reef that sits directly off the beach. There are eight room categories, from 54 m² garden bungalows to a 287 m² private pool villa. Some accommodation types set age minimums — the O Beach Villa requires guests to be 12 or older, and the Sangu Water Villa is adults-only at 18 and above.
The honest verdict
A large, well-equipped island resort with genuine variety in dining and accommodation, where the house reef and sheer size of the property are the main draws.
Best for
- Couples wanting overwater or pool villa stays
- Families with children (kids' club on site)
- Divers and snorkellers with easy reef access
- Guests who want restaurant choice without leaving the island
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting a small, quiet boutique property
- Those on a tight budget — rates start above USD 900/night
- Anyone who dislikes a domestic flight as part of the transfer
House reef, right off the beach
The reef runs directly from the island shore, so snorkelling and diving don't require a boat trip to reach it. For guests who want guided dives, the resort has dive facilities on site.
Seven restaurants on one island
Dining spans continental, Asian, American, and buffet formats across seven outlets. Themed dinner nights and cooking classes run alongside the regular menus, and there are happy hours and evening entertainment most nights.
Spa and wellness facilities
The spa and wellness centre handles treatments alongside a fitness centre. Several room categories — the Jacuzzi Beach Villa, Private Pool Villa, and Suite with Sea View — include a spa bath within the room itself.
Kids' club and family rooms
A dedicated kids' club is available for families. The Two-Bedroom Villa at 91 m² sleeps up to four with a mix of bed configurations, making it the practical family room option.
Activities beyond the water
The resort has tennis and badminton equipment, bicycle rental, walking tours, live music and sport broadcasts, and evening entertainment programmes — enough to fill days that aren't spent on the reef.
