Concept, Island & Location
Set in Rasdhoo Atoll, on one of 5 islands located in this tiny archipelago,
Kuramathi offers a naturally Maldivian holiday experience, with unique twists to
suit everyone. Whether you are one half of a couple on a romantic getaway or
part of a big family seeking to enjoy quality time together, whether you prefer
undersea activities to overwater, whether you would rather indulge in sensual
spa therapies than play a game of outdoor tennis, there is literally something for
everyone. Come to Kuramathi and discover the Maldives at its best. Relax, get
comfortable and enjoy the beautiful island: sun, sand, surf, mouth-watering
food, range of villas to suit all budgets, diverse facilities and, of course,
welcoming and friendly service that the Maldives is known for.
Kuramathi is located 56 kilometres west of the Male’ International Airport. The
island is over 1.8km long, with acres of luxuriant vegetation surrounded by
spectacular beaches tapering into an endless sandbank. Guest villas are
scattered around lush gardens, facing secluded areas of long beaches or
poised over water, and some feature additional luxuries such as outdoor
jacuzzis or private pools.
