Kuredu Island Resort, Maldives > Reviews

Advantages: Large island, plenty of activities
Disadvantages: Size means more people, not such a "get away from it all" feel

Kuredu is situated on the northern reef of the Lhaviyani Atoll. It lies around 80 miles north of the international Airport and the capital of Maldives, Male. The transfer time from the airport is about 40 minutes by seaplane or 4 hours by speed boat. The sea plane transfer is generally an optional extra at around £120 but it is well worth the cost. It is worth noting that if you take the sea plane transfer, your luggage will probably be sent on the ... Read review

Advantages: A fantastic setting and an incredibly relaxing holiday
Disadvantages: Not a lot to do in the evenings, shop is expensive

My boyfriend and I visited Kuredu Island Resort in May 2005. I didn't really know what to expect as the furthest I had ever gone was Tenerife but I have to say that this holiday was a once ina lifetime trip! We paid about £1000 each for our two week, all inclusive stay in a Baech Bungalow. I've since had a good look and it seems we got a bit of a bargain on this as its not unusual now for it to cost £1500 for the same. We put this down to the Boxing ... Read review

Advantages: Unbelieveably breathtakingly beautiful!!!
Disadvantages: Not so "All inclusive" as the words suggest

...family and I went to Kuredu in August 2005. When I say family I mean 10 of us in the whole party with ages ranging from my Son who was 3 months old to my Dad who was 54 years old. We flew to the island from Male on the sea plane which cost us £120 each extra but was well worth it for the views. You couldn't hear a thing for the noise of the plane though. We happened to hit the island at the end of the rainy season and thus our 1st week was sunshine ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper than many Maldivean islands. Great diving
Disadvantages: Some accomodation is basic. Livelier

I stayed on Kuredu in October 2005. I chose the seaplane transfer from Male - well worth every penny. It is a fantastic experience - great views and takes about 40 minutes. It is noisy, so take earplugs or pick them up at the seaplane terminus. Kuredu itself is a lovely island. It takes about 50 minutes to walk all the way around and you can extend your walk by walking along a sand spit into the sea - for what seems likes miles at low tide. The ... Read review

I have been to the Maldives 3 times and it is by far the most amazing place i have ever seen. The people are very friendly and will do anything for you, the food is great. If you want a relaxing holiday withj white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters then this is the place for you. Kerdu was the first island i went to and i though it was fantastic.

Advantages: Paradise, every one friendly
Disadvantages: none come to mind

I travelled to Kuredu Island Resort Maldives for two weeks at christmas with my family and i can easily say it was paradise. Travelling there took a long time on the plane but was well worth it. From the capital Male we took the sea plane for about 45 mins,, it was a amazing experiance although very noisy from the engines. When arriving drums where being played as you were welcomed, then were given cocktails (alchohol free for the kids) All through ... Read review
