Kuramathi Resort Maldives

Kuramathi Resort Maldives is a 5-star resort under Universal Resorts, opened in 2009 and located in Rasdhoo Atoll. It is reachable by a roughly 20-minute seaplane or 90-minute speedboat transfer. What makes Kuramathi truly remarkable is its perfect scores across all six categories — snorkeling, lagoon, beach, family, photography, and honeymoon all receive a full 5/5. This is an exceptionally rare achievement among all Maldivian resorts, attesting to its all-around top-tier quality. Its unique identity as a merger of three former resorts gives it extraordinary scale and facilities — 11 restaurants and 10 bars represent one of the largest dining selections of any resort in the Maldives, offering a global culinary journey from seafood grills to international cuisine, from beach bars to poolside cocktails. The island houses 271 villas, making it one of the largest resorts in the Maldives. A stunning natural sandbank stretches into the sea, creating what looks like a white corridor to paradise at low tide — an iconic spot for wedding photography. A full Chinese-speaking service team is available. A first-rate kids' club, a professional PADI dive center with special dive sites, a rejuvenating spa, and extensive land and water sports facilities offer endless entertainment. Notably, Kuramathi boasts 6,100+ reviews on TripAdvisor with a strong 4.73 rating.
