With over 700 varieties of fish that have been seen around the lovely coral reefs and atolls of the Maldives, Scuba Diving is one of the best ways to experience the spectacular underwater world. Crown & Champa Resorts offers the ideal opportunity to start your diving adventure, expand your knowledge of our marine life or add a few more dives to your log.

 

The teams of professional and friendly dive instructors on the islands are ready to make your stay in the Maldives an unforgettable one!

 

In the South Ari Atoll, Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa and Mirihi Island Resort are the ideal locations to start your scuba diving adventures. With a plethora of tropical fish, the atoll also offers sightings of the majestic Whale Shark and Manta Rays. The house reefs are spectacular with budding corals and located a short swim from the shores. The atoll also offers prime dive sites such as Kuda Rah Thila, Broken Rock and a variety of shipwrecks to explore.

 

Although Veligandu Island Resort & Spa is located in one of the relatively smaller atolls, the North Ari Atoll, there are 18 dive sites on offer. The atoll is famous for the abundance of reef sharks and dive sites that range from easy-going to more challenging for experienced divers. The types of dive sites include thilas, channels, walls and reefs such as the premier dive sites of the Atoll, the Rasdhoo Reef and Madivaru Corner.

Coming Soon: Innahura and Kudadoo Private Island Maldives

October 5, 2018
Kudadoo Maldives Private Island

Award-winning Crown & Champa Resorts will be adding two new resorts in the Lhaviyani Atoll of Maldives by December 2018, Kudadoo Maldives Private Island by Hurawalhi and Innahura Maldives Resort. These bring the total to 9 resorts in the collection, offering a truly diverse guest experience with each resort exuding its own unique personality and charm.

 

Freedom Reimagined at Kudadoo Maldives Private Island

As the first top-end 5-star, truly all-inclusive, resort in the Maldives, Kudadoo ensures a secluded getaway purposefully crafted for an exclusive experience and luxury redefined. The private island comes alive with effortless adventures with the motto ‘anything, anytime, anywhere’. Personal butlers are available 24 hours a day to assist in making this possible by facilitating authentic experiences that capture the senses.

 

The resort comprises of just 15 over-water Ocean Residences, each with a 44sqm terrace pool, and additional accommodation for guests’ personal staff as part of the seamless experience.

 

“With Kudadoo, we wanted to create an experience that would reflect the natural beauty of the Maldives while being environmentally conscious; the resort is purely powered by solar panels, and innovates the all-inclusive landscape in the Maldives; with the introduction of an all-inclusive that covers everything on the resort. The resort will also offer the first Himalayan Salt Room to the Maldives at the wellness spa.” – Martin Vossen, CEO of Crown & Champa Resorts.

 

Here, Life is Easy: Innahura Maldives Resort

Innahura introduces a more affordable experience of the Maldives. This newly built 3-star island resort boasts 78 Beach Bungalows complemented by an overwater bar, main bar and a wholesome buffet style restaurant at the shore – a getaway for the fun loving young and naturally young at heart.

 

The resort offers a cost-effective option that includes an easy atmosphere, laidback environment and a touch of local Maldivian flavours. The All-inclusive Easy programme is an affordable package designed with this approach in mind, where guests can enjoy a hassle free holiday and the option to add their favourite drinks, snacks, experiences and activities to their package.

 

“We wanted to open up the Maldives to a whole new market, in order to ensure Innahura is an affordable option we decided to give travellers the quintessential Maldives holiday alongside the power to choose what they want in their holiday AI package. The AI Easy package was created as an essential selection of food, drinks and non-motorised activities, as a result the resort doesn’t follow the traditional AI package, which is filled with things guests don’t really need and don’t always use or enjoy. The new AI Easy package allows guests to choose what they want as extras, fit this into their budget and have a minimal fuss getaway.” – Martin Vossen, CEO of Crown & Champa Resorts.

 

Both resorts further accentuate the growing collection of resorts, with the aim to cater to a diverse range of travel needs, experiences and preferences in the Maldives. Guest will be able to choose from 3-Star to 5-Star, boutique and private island destinations for their holiday, all offering the best value-for-money and exceptional service that Crown & Champa Resorts is known for.
