Kuramathi
has retained its natural beauty and is the only
island luxury
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
