OVERVIEW
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.
LOCATION
The second resort located in the middle of Kuramathi island, the
Kuramathi Cottages & Spa is a health-oriented holiday destination.
The Cottage Club has 50 water bungalows

lagoon. The 31 beach bungalows are situated just a few steps from
the beach, in full view of the azure lagoon. All the water bungalows
and standard beach rooms are equipped with modern amenities.
