“An amazing Island which is always evolving.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We have been visiting Kuramathi since 1999, in fact this May 2012 will be our 11th visit ! We have stayed in different parts of the Island and love staying in the deluxe beach villas near the sand bar. Over the years we have watched the Island evolve into one of the most desirable holiday destinations in the Maldives. The resort is run by an excellent management team who understand the requirements of its guests. They have gone out of their way to help us understand the ecology of the Island and its marine life and have been rewarded for their efforts. The staff are welcoming and extremely helpful and go out of their way to make this a holiday of a lifetime. We have been to many far flung places, and also other resorts in the Maldives but we are happy to say we got 'hooked' on our first visit to Kuramathi, we have never found anywhere else that compares with this unique Island experience.

Visited Kuramathi in Sept 2011 with my wife.
I must admit it's the best holiday we have had!!

Everything about the island is great, Food, Rooms,Snorkelling, staff...
We liked the size of the island and the choice of bars and restaurants.

YOU MUST GO SELECT ALL INCLUSIVE, the food is great!!
Buffet food OK, I would of went a bit stir crazy sitting in the same seat for 3 meals a day for 10 nights!!

We took the Sea Plane there and the views were amazing, Speedboat back and my wife was poorly, the boat was fast and hit big waves..

We will def be back, if not this year, next!!!

You will not be dissapointed..

“A luxurious and beautiful resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We stayed in a beach villa with jacuzzi and were pleased with the large outside space. The villa was well situated and quietly located, just across from the waters of the inner reef. The quality of maintenance of gardens, paths and beaches is meticulous. The botanical life is lovely and under the surface of the sea, easily attainable from the pier is like a tropical aquarium. Nearly all staff are courteous and smiling, meals are buffet style, varied and of good quality. It is essential to go all inclusive, but the higher grade of all inclusive, which we avoided, seems expensive and unnecessary. Our only complaint was the noise of loud music one night a week and further recorded music "leaking" from the rather dislikeable Fung Bar at night. I would avoid a room in the area of this bar (we heard the noise even though ours was quite distant). In summary a great holiday we could recommend to others.

Room Tip: Avoid anywhere near the Fung Bar, which can be noisy at night and is the least attractive bar on the...

“Paradise found - believe the hype!”

We stayed in a deluxe beach villa with jacquzzi - room 228 to be precise and it was just heaven. Gorgeous room. 25 steps from front door to ocean, quiet and privacy where great but we were only minutes walk away from the dive centre and restaurant. The location, staff and food where all sublime - we really could not have asked for any more. The diving trips where excellently organised and the dive leaders are all a real credit to the high calibre of employees this island favours. Thank you for the most amazing week of our lives, finances permitting me day we will return!

“Amazing...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed at kuramathi Island in november 2009 I know this review is a little late. The island had just completed the change over from 3 separate resorts to one resort kuramathi island resort.

We loved the place, we stayed in a beach villa a la carte all inclusive which i would strongly recommend to anyone. The a la carte restaurants are amazing. We never had a bad meal. Our favourite was the restaurant next to the new infinity pool think it was called island bbq or something. The only problem was loosing the weight we had put on when we returned home whilst at the resort!
