Kuramathi Village
 
A tropical island in a blue sea, with waving palms and cascades of beautiful exotic flowers.
Kuramathi Island is a beautiful resort where seekers of paradise escaping the pressures and cares
of the world can get away and forget the outside world. This lush green garden bursting with scented
frangipanis, delicate hibiscus, bougainvillea and morning glory offers you a glimpse of the Garden of
Eden. A gardener's dream and the ideal holiday retreat.
Kuramathi has retained its natural beauty and is the only island resort to offer a choice of three
different places to stay. It is larger than most island resorts-over one kilometre in length-and the three
discreet locations each with its own unique character and charm. They are all carefully laid out and
spaced so that you might never know the others existed. Wander the narrow winding paths lined
with thick foliage that snake their way across the island. Gaze up into the ancient banyan tree and
spy the cranes nesting in the topmost branches. Drift along sandy white beaches and dip your toes in
the water to cool off on a balmy hot day, or turn to catch the cooling sea breezes. Only then might
you chance upon one of the other resorts: Kuramathi Village, Cottage & Spa or Blue Lagoon.
The speedboat or seaplane brings you to the main jetty of Kuramathi Village where you step ashore
and leave the rest of the world behind you. Step into the main reception hall for a few minutes to rest,
enjoy a cool drink and freshen up with a cold towel. From here on we'll take care of everything.
