Kuramathi Resort :
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. A bus is also
available to shuttle you back and forth should you feel too tired to take a
short hike. 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: the Cottage Club, Blue
Lagoon or Kuramathi Village.
After landing at the main jetty at Kuramathi Village, guests going on to stay at the Blue Lagoon will drive the whole length of the island, along a winding road shaded by tall palms, and bordered by thick shrubbery. There is a profusion of flowers all around you, and on arriving at the Blue Lagoon you will see the beautiful blue ocean stretching out in front of you.
Accommodation:
The Blue Lagoon offers a choice of either 20 water bungalows or 30 standard rooms, all fully air conditioned, and with tea and coffee making facilities, and piped music. There are also mini bars in all the rooms. The rooms are designed to be comfortable and relaxing, and we're sure that you'll enjoy every second of your stay.
Standard room
These rooms nestle among the vegetation like a row of little cottages, and are reached by a path bordered with flowers. All the bungalows overlook a stretch of beach, and the vegetation of this garden island, which surrounds these rooms, promises complete privacy. A little veranda outside the rooms, set with chairs and coffee table, provides a place to sit and take things easy between all the other activities on offer.
Water Bungalows
These spacious and luxurious wooden water bungalows, reached by a wooden walkway and built in units of two or four, are set out over the lagoon, and afford the most glorious views out to sea. On the ocean side, large French windows lead out on to a veranda with coffee table and deck chairs, and you only have to take a few steps down a wooden stairway to find yourself right in the sea.
Facilities:
We want everything to be as straightforward as possible for you. Although the local currency is Maldivian Rufiya, it is not necessary to change dollars to rufiya as you can sign for all extras and pay at the end of your stay. We accept Amex, Visa, Mastercard and JCB as well as Diners and travellers cheques. Please be advised that there is a 10% service charge added to food and beverage bills, and to laundry bills. This means that you don't have to carry cash with you, and we strongly advise you to use the safety deposit boxes that are available at reception which are free of charge. The hotel cannot accept responsibility for the loss of valuables left in your room.
We offer a range of other services that should make your visit trouble free, including baby sitting services and laundry. We also offer telephone and fax facilities to most countries, and should you be unlucky enough to have a slight mishap, then First Aid facilities are also available
Location:
Kuramathi is situated in its own little atoll, Rasdhoo Atoll and set alone in a sparkling sea. Rasdhoo lies some 12 kilometres to the north east of Ari Atoll, and Kuramathi is easily accessible from the airport. Lying --- kilometres from Male’ International airport, guests will be whisked to their destination on a 15 minute helicopter or seaplane ride where they can gain a unique bird's eye view of the island landscape below, or by boat, skimming over the ocean to arrive at the resort jetty in just 90 minutes.
