About Kuredu Island Resort
Just 40 minutes by seaplane from Male's international airport, Kuredu Island Resort offers an upscale and adventurous family-friendly atmosphere. This private slice of paradise makes an ideal escape from everyday life, with a stunning tropical backdrop and luxurious details at every turn. Guest bungalows and villas are spacious, modern, and offer plenty of privacy. Other incredible facilities include an award-winning spa, myriad options for dining and drinking, unique sailing charters, and a variety of sports facilities. Plus, it's just minutes from Lhaviyani and Noonu Atoll's best diving.
Lhaviyani is one of the Maldives' most popular atolls among divers and is often visited by liveaboards. So, you'll enjoy a similar underwater landscape and wildlife to other atolls, but with far fewer divers. Kuredu Island is ideally situated, with short boat rides to manta cleaning stations, shipwrecks, and protected coral reefs. In addition to guided diving, Prodivers Maldives offers PADI courses, snorkelling, and a seemingly endless list of watersports. No matter what adventure you have in mind, their friendly and helpful staff will be happy to arrange every detail.

Diving at Kuredu Island Resort
Kuredu Island Resort and Spa proudly hosts Prodivers’ flagship dive centre. This professional dive centre offers a variety of PADI courses on the stunning house reef, plus guided adventures and night dives. Their daily boat trips hit all the best sites in Lhaviyani and Noonu Atolls, including Shipyard and Muda Thila - the busiest manta cleaning station. Whether you're getting certified on this trip or you've got years of experience, you'll love the dive centre's top-quality rental equipment and cameras, patient and friendly international staff, and comfortable custom dive boats. Experienced buddy teams can make the most of their time in the atoll with free nitrox and self-guided diving on the house reef.
Lhaviyani Atoll is one of the Maldives' most popular destinations among scuba divers thanks to its diverse underwater environments. This is the perfect place to try out channel and drift diving or visit a current-swept thila. These exciting sites are perfect for spotting sharks and playful reef manta rays, turtles and more. This resort's location also allows for quick trips to nearby Noonu Atoll, giving guests access to double the dive sites. If you're new to the sport, don't worry, there's plenty of laid-back reef diving in this region, too. The island's house reef plays host to hundreds of coral and fish species, and other sites best suited to beginners are just a few minutes away by boat.
Conservation at Kuredu
The Kuredu Island Marine Biology Center is led by a resident marine biologist and run in close cooperation with Prodivers Maldives. This educational space is dedicated to studying the atoll's ecosystem and sharing the findings with guests. Their programs are passionate and fun, and often held in partnership with Manta Trust and the Olive Ridley Project, two of the region's most prominent and dedicated marine research organisations.
Kuredu Island Resort and Spa's environmentally friendly undertakings continually work to minimise the resort's impact on the Maldives’ fragile ecosystem. Their current initiatives include an extensive system of solar panels powering various parts of the property, on-site desalination and plastic-free water bottling centre, and a large scale recycling initiative.
