Not been to the maldives myself (early next year maybe??) but a friend
(instructor) has highly recommend Lily Beach. They travel to maldives every
year and have tried various islands but keep going back to Lily Beach.

Personally I am tempted by either Kurimanti Villiage or Lily Beech.

Lily Beach? Crap.

Go to Vakarufahli. You can see Lily Beach from Vak. Same dive sites,
better hotel. If you're there in feb say hi. I'll be the one on the
inspiration.

We spent our honeymoon on Kuredu. We were both diving, but thinking of
what you could do on Kuredu if you weren't diving, well, you could do
all kinds of watersports, just walk the shoreline, lay on the beach,
read a book...

Hmmm. Dunno if other atols are different.

esa

ps. one old guy, who didn't speak any other language than Finnish (thus
couldn't communicate with the staff) just walked around the island. It
took him about 15 min walking on the shoreline, and I think he did it
something like 20 times/day.
