The ultimate honeymoon destination for those who want to relax, kick off their shoes, and spend their days doing nothing more than swimming in crystal clear waters, sunning themselves on sugar white beaches, snorkelling amongst coral reefs, playing a round of golf, and dining beachside with a refreshing cocktail – the Maldives really is paradise on earth.

A destination favoured by royalty, celebrities, and professional sportsmen and women, the Maldives is an archipelago of some 1,190 islands, all of which are scattered in the Indian Ocean, surrounded by rings of white sand and sapphire blue lagoons.

A destination made of dreams and designed for luxury travel, the Maldives homes some of the most exquisite (and expensive) hotels on earth, but this exclusive destination is no longer just for the rich and famous, there are some fabulous options for ‘regular’ travellers to, and if you are looking for affordable luxury in the Maldives, you will find exactly what you are looking for at Kuredu.

The Kuredu Maldives Resort & Spa is located on Kuredu Island in the Lhaviyani Atoll, which is approximately 90 miles north from Male.  Accessible by seaplane from Male International Airport, this ocean retreat offers a range of accommodations, from über luxurious Sangu Overwater Villas and Sulthan Pool Villas, to Romantic Beach Villas and Bonthi Garden Bungalows, and a variety of different bars and restaurants to suit every taste.

Like being castaway on your own private island, Kuredu is beautifully arranged so that it never feels crowded, yet there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained such as tennis courts, a fitness centre, a golf course, a spa, and a water sports centre where you can book a whole variety of water based excursions.
