Dining
6 Restaurants
Kuredu's dining programme is the most varied of any Maldivian resort — four zone-specific buffet restaurants, four specialty à la carte venues, an ice-cream parlour, and access to Hurawalhi's legendary 5.8 Undersea Restaurant via a short boat ride. Each zone has its own dedicated restaurant and bar scene, so the O and Sangu adults-only areas feel like separate resorts.
Bonthi
International
The main island buffet serving themed international spreads with live cooking stations. The largest restaurant on the island with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the beach. Maldivian, Asian, and Western cuisines rotate nightly.
SettingMain buffet · Koamas zone · All ages
Our tipThursday is seafood night — arrives fresh from the morning catch
Sangu Restaurant
Fine Dining
The premium dining experience on the island — a 15+ adults-only restaurant in the Sangu zone with a 1,100-bottle wine cellar and à la carte grill menu. The most refined setting at Kuredu, with overwater views and candlelit tables.
SettingSangu zone · Adults 15+ · 1,100-bottle wine cellar
Our tipAsk for a wine pairing from the cellar — the sommelier knows his collection intimately

Kuredu's à la carte Mediterranean restaurant serving Italian-leaning dishes — fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, risotto, and grilled seafood. A local favourite with returning guests who book the same table every year.
SettingÀ la carte · Beachside

5.8 Undersea Restaurant
Underwater
The world's largest all-glass undersea restaurant — 5.8 metres below sea level at neighbouring Hurawalhi. Kuredu guests can book the multi-course tasting menu for lunch or dinner, arriving by short boat transfer. A once-in-a-lifetime dining experience surrounded by reef fish, rays, and sharks.
Setting5.8m below sea level · At sister resort Hurawalhi · 15 min boat

Meal Plans
Dining Inclusions
Kuredu offers three meal plan tiers — no bed-and-breakfast option here. Most guests book All-Inclusive Plus, with AI Gold above it.
Meal plan prices are a guide only — generally an average across the year. Resorts can change them at any time, they often vary by season, and a plan sold in one season may not be offered in another. We'll confirm what's available and the exact price for your dates.

Our Take
Who This Resort is For
Reviewed by Tym Lewtak, founder of LuxAtolls·Updated Sep 27, 2026
Kuredu is the Maldives' answer to the mega-resort — except it's on a stunning atoll with a world-class reef. It doesn't pretend to be a barefoot-luxury boutique; instead it offers the widest range of activities, dining, and accommodation in the country at a price that makes a Maldives holiday genuinely accessible. The three-zone concept is clever — families, couples, and honeymooners all get their own space. If you want variety, value, and turtles, Kuredu is hard to beat.
Ideal for
Value seekers — five-star Maldives experience at a four-star price, from $165/night
Divers — 60+ dive sites, PADI IDC, on-site hyperbaric chamber, and 15+ shark species
Turtle lovers — daily green sea turtle encounters on the house reef
Couples wanting adults-only — O Resort (12+) and Sangu (15+) zones feel like separate resorts
Consider elsewhere if
Ultra-luxury seekers — this is a four-star resort, not a Soneva or an Anantara
Privacy purists — 389 rooms means shared beaches and poolside neighbours
Design snobs — rooms are comfortable but won't win design awards
Those wanting overwater luxury — the Sangu Water Villas are the only overwater option at 70 sqm
