Kuramathi is pure perfection

Based on the Raesdhoo Atoll, the island occupied by the Kuramathi Island Resort is shaped like a long triangle, tipped by a sandbank that stretches out into crystal clear waters. The accommodation you pick determines where you are located on the island so if you want a truly peaceful holiday it may be worth looking up where certain villas are located and avoiding those in the busier areas.

There are many types of accommodation so you are sure to find one to suit your needs. Those looking for a cheaper option on Kuramathi may find the Garden Villas perfect, however, if you want the beach a few steps from your door, a Beach Villa may be a better option. If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort, the Deluxe Beach Villas are located by the sandbank at the far end of the island, or you could try a Water Villa, set on stilts above a gorgeous lagoon, teeming with marine life. If decadence is calling then the Water Villas with Jacuzzi are ideal, sit sipping a cool cocktail in your Jacuzzi on deck and watch the sun set on the horizon. If you are on your honeymoon than the Honeymoon Beach Villas offer privacy and your own private Jacuzzi and garden, perfect for a romantic stay.

There are a multitude of restaurants and bars in which you can feast upon a whole host of international cuisine. Some serve buffet style whilst others are a la carte, each one a specialist in a particular cuisine. The spa has ten treatments rooms in which you will be pampered into a state of bliss, be it in an over water room, a beach room or the pavilion. The spa has a wide range of treatments and a steam room, sauna, plunge pool and rainfall shower are on hand to set you up nicely for which ever treatment(s) you have selected.

Diving is one of the most popular activities (along with sun bathing, relaxing and taking some time out in the spa) in the Maldives and the waters around Kuramathi are a real treasure trove. An eight minute boat ride from Kuramathi will take you to Hammerhead shark point which is one of the few places that you are almost guaranteed a sighting of one. There are also 20 local dive sites within 15 minutes of Kuramathi and the reefs around Kuramathi are frequented by manta rays, turtles, sting rays and many smaller and brightly coloured fish.
