We travelled from Male to Kuredu by sea plane, which was an excellent kick start to a wonderful holiday. Upon arrival we were greeted by our hostess and a staff band played drums and clapped to greet us. We were served a much needed welcome drink. The information given was just enough given the long journey we had. We stayed at a beach villa and a water villa, which was fantastic. The perfect location, right on the beach with uninterrupted views of the sea. The buggies were always on hand to help us around the resort. Kuredu resort and spa is an amazing resort with dreamy tropical white sands, clear sea water and waving palms. Friendly, helpful staff made our holiday a memorable enjoyable experience. It was a pleasure talking with them and learning about the Maldives and the resort. An abundance of activities are on offer, which are supported by information sessions. We did snorkelling, windsurfing, golf, kayaking, badminton, paddle tennis, tennis, swimming and snooker. There is an abundance of sea creatures in the lagoon and around the water villas, including reef sharks, turtles, crabs and a variety of fishes. The sunset cruise, included in the all inclusive package, is a “must do” experience. We were fortunate to have dolphins accompany us alongside the boat and occasionally treated us to jumps and flips and with the backdrop of the sunset, was amazing. The room mini bar and all inclusive package offered a wide selection of beverages. - alcohol, cocktails including frozen ones, mocktails, hot and cold drinks. Buffet restaurants offered a good selection of food, which was well labelled to cater for vegans, vegetarians, gluten and milk free diets. Snacks in the afternoon tended to be more meat varieties. Entertainment was good, with a special mention to the live band - Equatic vibes, who had us singing along and dancing well into the night. The photo shoot and decorated table at our last meal was a fitting end to a fantastic holiday. Thank you Kuredu - you will forever be remembered with love in our hearts. Read less

Kuredu is the most special place for me and my family. This was my 7th time at this beautiful place. This time it was me, my sister and mother. We have stayed at O beach villa - our favourite area on the island, and then we have upgraded for 2 nights in Sangu water villa, which was amazing, too. The weather was great. Food and drinks were perfect, great variety. Walks around the island and inside of the island are always special. Golf club is a good experience. Beds in villas and extra bed for 3rd person was very comfy. Our island hostess Chatherine was very helpful. Chef Nathan at O was superb! Guys from pool bar and Babuna: Jewel, Thomas, Balorum, Kiso and Kalpesh; from O: Abhishek and Udaya were just amazing! Dinesh and Krishna very kind and friendly, always coming to say hello. And our superstar and highlight Sobahan from Sangu, he was just next level! He was taking care of us and was surprising us with his attention as soon as we were arriving at the bar. Thank you so much for everything! We will definitely be coming back again! Read less

The vacation was unforgettable. It couldn't have been otherwise in the Maldives. Clean beaches, spit into the ocean, large selection on the buffet, transparent ocean, rooms were always clean.

The vacation was unforgettable. It couldn't have been otherwise in the Maldives. Clean beaches, spit into the ocean, large selection on the buffet, transparent ocean, rooms were always clean. The only thing we didn't really like is that almost everything is paid. Except for a few sodas in the mini bar and a couple of cocktails in the bars, everything else was paid. Dinner on the beach, golf, water sports - you have to pay for everything. And I won't say that you have to pay 3-5$ each. No, the prices are much higher. The hotel once held a mini competition by the pool in the evening. It was necessary to hit the golf ball and try to hit the hole on the water. So even for participation in such an event you had to pay $5. I believe that since we are on an all-inclusive vacation, the hotel should not charge for any activities. Read less

The cost is absolutely justified by the experience you get there, magical! We saw stingray, nursingsharks and the turtles, even though we didn't snorkel! Water is lovely and warm, the beach is white powder and the most beautiful I have ever seen! Miss the crew already and would love to go back. Read less
