Maldives Resorts for Diving, Fishing and Water Sports: What Our Nine Resorts Offer
Kuredu has a diving school, Villa Nautica lists surfing and deep-sea fishing, and others focus on dining. A short guide by activity, with nightly rates.
Quick answer: From the nine resorts we hold current data for, Kuredu lists a diving school, golf course and kids' club on a very large island, and Villa Nautica lists surfing, deep-sea fishing and reef trips on request. The others are better known for dining, room choice or all-inclusive plans. Rates below are the lowest room-only rate Google Hotels listed for one night on 4 to 5 November 2026.

Which resort for which activity?
- Diving: Kuredu, for its on-island school. A try-dive costs US$75 to 230 across centres; see scuba for beginners.
- Fishing and surfing: Villa Nautica, which is also the cheapest of the nine and close to the airport.
- Easy snorkelling and variety: Sheraton Full Moon and Kuredu.
- Whale sharks and mantas: these are in South Ari and Baa Atoll, which none of our nine are confirmed to serve; see the whale shark and manta guides.
What does an active week cost?
Kuredu at about ₹58,000 a night for four nights is ₹2.32 lakh before flights and seaplane transfers. See Kuredu from India for the all-in figure by city.
Do I need a seaplane for the active resorts?
Kuredu does. Villa Nautica does not: it is a speedboat resort. See the seaplane guide.
