Maldives Islands Kuredu, Kuramathi & Diamonds Thudufushi

From the moment you get off your international flight and arrive in Male and step foot outside you can already feel the warm air of paradise. Flying over all the Maldives Atolls by seaplane with the amazing views or gliding through the sea on a speedboat, entering Maldives islands are both unforgettable experiences.

I have travelled to the Maldives in July and August which are not known as peak season for the best weather, so it was always a bit of a risk, however I was lucky enough to have lovely weather with a few hours of rain before it cleared every time. The peak months to travel to the Maldives are between January and April, with the worst months September to November but this is of course never guaranteed.

Both the Kuredu and Kuramathi island are bigger islands that have lots of facilities, room types and options available for people who feel like they want somewhere that still has lots to do even though they are on a small island in the Indian Ocean. I loved both islands but Kuramathi stood out for me mainly because of the a la carte all-inclusive and big choice in restaurants, pools and the amazing reef they have which is known for being one of the best in the Maldives. They have also recently renovated Kuramathi to make it modern, the rooms are very spacious, and they have the most stunning sand bank to take beautiful pictures. I stayed at a jacuzzi beach villa in Kuredu which was lovely a real rustic style villa. In Kuramathi I stayed in a superior beach front villa which was in a fantastic location right near the sand bank and steps away from the sea.

My favourite island I have stayed at would have to be the Diamonds Thudufushi, mainly because of how small and intimate it was when arriving from the seaplane it really did blow me away. I was lucky enough to stay in a water villa here and the villas were amazing - so big and spacious with washed white interior. You have a walk-in shower, double four poster bed, iPod docking system, 2 double sun loungers and the room is very modern. When staying in the water villas you are entitled to extra benefits such as dining in the over water restaurant, free unlimited mini bar in the room and you are also able to call reception and get anything else you need. The island didn't have a pool, but this wasn't important to me as having the water villa which has steps that go down to the sea was all I needed. I loved how the island included snorkelling hire and two trips around the island to see the beautiful reef with guidance by the hotel team.

My overall experiences of the Maldives are amazing, and I have lots of inside tips I share with my clients. I also have lots of knowledge on the different Maldives islands to cater to all my clients and honeymooners.

I finish off by saying Maldives is my wow destination!
