The reef runs directly beneath the residences, so you enter from your own steps instead of swimming out to find it. Turtles are routine on the seagrass. Lhaviyani is one of the more dependable atolls in the country for manta, and the dive centre runs channel dives and scooter dives that most guests rate above the snorkelling. Rebreathers are available if you are certified, and there is a kitesurfing school and a surf spot in the south of the atoll reached by speedboat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this actually costs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRates move with season and residence category, so we quote rather than publish.

Kudadoo takes guests aged 15 and over unless you rent the whole place, and we would rather move you to a resort in the same atoll than have you arrive and find out. If you want sand at your door, there are no beach villas here at all. If you want six restaurants, a beach club and an island you can walk around for an hour, 200 metres square with one main building will feel small by day four. And if the budget is tight, fifteen residences with everything included prices exactly the way you would expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe still send people here often.
