The pristine reefs, remote luxury and world-class diving that make Lhaviyani one of the Maldives' most rewarding atolls.
World-Class Wreck Diving
Lhaviyani Atoll is famous for the Kuredu Express — one of the most exhilarating drift dives in the Maldives, with strong currents, extraordinary visibility and abundant marine life. The atoll also has several excellent wreck dives, including the Shipyard wreck, which is now covered in coral and teeming with marine life.
Kuredu Island Resort
Kuredu Island Resort is one of the largest and most popular resorts in the Maldives — a large island with a wide range of accommodation from beach bungalows to overwater villas, multiple restaurants, a dive centre and a lively, sociable atmosphere. It is one of the best-value resorts in the Maldives.
Kanuhura Ultra-Luxury
Kanuhura is one of the most exclusive and beautiful resorts in the Maldives — a private island with just 80 villas, extraordinary beaches, exceptional food and impeccable service. The resort has its own private sandbank island and offers a range of exclusive experiences including private island picnics and sunset cruises.
Pristine House Reefs
The house reefs at Lhaviyani Atoll's resorts are among the most pristine in the Maldives — the remoteness of the atoll means the reefs have been less affected by tourism and the coral coverage and diversity is exceptional. Snorkelling directly from the beach or villa steps is excellent at most resorts.
Remote & Uncrowded
Lhaviyani Atoll's remoteness — a 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé — means it is less visited than the atolls closer to the capital. The reefs are uncrowded, the marine life is abundant and the sense of isolation and exclusivity is exceptional. It is the right choice for visitors seeking a more authentic and unspoilt Maldivian experience.
Seaplane Transfer
The 40-minute seaplane transfer to Lhaviyani Atoll is one of the most spectacular in the Maldives — the flight takes you over the extraordinary patchwork of atolls, reefs and islands that make the Maldives one of the most beautiful places on earth. The aerial views are extraordinary.
Water Sports
Lhaviyani Atoll has excellent conditions for water sports — the lagoons are calm and protected, ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding and windsurfing. Kuredu Island Resort has one of the most comprehensive water sports programmes in the Maldives, including kitesurfing, wakeboarding and parasailing.
Dining
The resorts of Lhaviyani Atoll offer excellent dining — Kuredu has multiple restaurants including a celebrated overwater restaurant, and Kanuhura has a renowned food and beverage programme with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The fresh seafood is exceptional.
