At this time, the hulhang dominates the islands - this is the south-west wind, which brings precipitation. But do not be upset if you plan a vacation in June, since the likelihood of showers is high only at night. In the daytime, sunny and clear weather usually reigns.

At night, you should not wait for coolness, usually at this time the temperature is +26 degrees. Do not be afraid of the rainy season. The sun in June is more active than in winter, so a stay on the beach should be metered and certainly in the shade. And without a cream and a hat you just can not do here.
The probability of precipitation in June, although high, but the showers are not long and end quickly. The weather at the beginning of summer has one feature - it is humidity, which is inconvenient. However, it is well tolerated due to regular winds. Although residents from regions with a dry climate should still be careful.

Tourists reviews
Continuing the review of the hotel, it is worth paying attention to the reviews of tourists. It is worth noting that travelers remain completely delighted with Kuredu and the Kuredu Island Resort 4 * service. Each guest is expected to fly to Male. Further, all tourists are transported by bus to the home airline terminal. It takes the whole process no more than five minutes. And then you have to wait for the flight of your seaplane, which will take you to the island itself. The flight lasts 20-30 minutes, but at the same time it is incredibly exciting and impressive, because there is a beautiful ocean and atolls around. Take-off and landing are very soft and do not cause inconvenience.
Hotel Kuredu Island Resort 4 * (Maldives, Laviyani Atoll, Kuredu) is as beautiful as the island itself. Despite the large selection of villas, tourists do not recommend choosing apartments on the west coast of Kuredu. The fact is that it is not quite similar to the ideas about the Maldives. Near the coast there are breakwaters, strong tides expose the rocky bottom and all this does not have a very beautiful appearance. In addition, it is stronger than the wind. But the east coast pleases with endless sandy beaches and stunning views.
In general, all villas are good for living. They have approximately the same equipment. Some have a private pool. On the island there are separate villas for honeymooners and romantic couples, which are located in some privacy. Although no matter what bungalow you prefer, relaxation and silence are guaranteed.
Nutrition Reviews
According to tourists, the food in the hotel is tasty and varied. Of course, you should not wait for Turkish tables, in the Maldives they do not feed like that. But in general, the food is quite high quality and tasty. Themed days are often arranged. Different food options are possible, but most tourists prefer all-inclusive or all-inclusive plus. The latter concept includes drinks, but not all. In the bars you can take any cocktails, beer and wine for free, as well as two bottles of water daily and the contents of the minibar. But strong drinks still have to pay separately.
The all-inclusive concept allows you to visit the restaurant for dinner for free. The hotel has four main food establishments. In each of them there is a children's table. Drinks are available at any bar throughout the day.
General impression of the hotel

No less friendly staff in bars and restaurants. Everywhere guests are greeted with cordiality. In general, Russian tourists are loved here.
The territory of the hotel complex is clean and well maintained. And the coast of the island is admirable and praised. The wide beach is covered with stunning soft sand, which replaces the azure hue of the water. Sometimes, entering the water, you can stumble upon shards of coral, but they do not cause inconvenience. In the very south of the island there is a long sand spit that goes into the ocean. This is an amazing sight. Swimming on the coast is incredibly nice. But without protective creams and natural clothing with long sleeves just can not do. Inexperienced tourists on cloudy days overtake burns. It only seems that the sun is hidden. In fact, its rays are very active and achieve their goal. This is always worth remembering.
The island has ideal conditions for diving and snorkeling. Local instructors instruct and take to the most interesting places. Water activities and rides are expensive. But it is quite possible to admire underwater beauties on your own, because in front of the beach there is a reef with incredible flora and fauna. Here you can see turtles and sharks daily.
