Well, it depends on what you are after.
Prices will be at their highest for this period, and weather should be hot & dry.
The resorts *will* be decorated for Xmas, but not as nicely as you would find in Europe or in the US (Maldives is a Muslim country after all, but they cater very well for international guests).
Some resorts might have more fun things to do at this time - live music, simple bar games, and so on, but it certainly won't be "lively" compared to EU/US. Remember that the resort is on an island, and there is no local population - you cannot go to lots of bars for varied entertainment.
Hope that helps.

Answer 2

sounds like a great idea. though i wouldn't go sailing in that area if i was you. too many people are getting boat -jacked [ is that really a word]

Answer 3

The weather will be sunny and no doubt it will definitely be relaxing!

Answer 4

Kuredu is one of the larger islands, so has more activities ect available. As for lively - think that you need to understand that Kuredu is perhaps lively compared to other islands. It may well have a band on during the Christmas and New Year period, and often extra games and activities are arranged during the day - purely optional, but is unlikely to be a happening place. So, if you are wanting lots to do, partying through the night ect, then its unlikely to fit the bill.

Do remember, the Maldives are a series of islands in the Indian Ocean. Also as for going to the Maldives over Christmas - book soon, as availability is limited.

Good luck!
