Fodor's Expert Review Kuredu Island Resort & Spa

After a scenic, 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé with a spectacular bird's-eye-view of dozens of tiny tropical islands, you'll glide into one of the Maldives' most popular resorts. Though relatively large by Maldivian standards, it's not only popular because it has the iconic beautiful beaches and impossibly blue seas, but also because it caters for all tastes and budgets, from basic accommodation to high-end luxury villas with Jacuzzis. The resort has more of a small (very small) town atmosphere than many others in the Maldives but is perfect for families, honeymooners, or singles. It offers land and sea activities such as biking, fishing, golf, and diving. In fact, Kuredu has its own 5-star PADI diving center and fantastic marine life on tap. You'll be spoiled for choice with food and drink as there are seven restaurants and eight bars.
