Niva Kuramathi Maldives

We had a fantastic stay at the resort with our 3- and 7-year-old, but the real highlight for our family was Bageecha Kids Club. The space is beautifully designed and thoughtfully curated, with an incredible range of creative, engaging activities that appeal to different ages. Every detail feels carefully considered, creating an environment where children feel welcome, inspired, and excited to participate. Most of all, the staff are absolutely amazing. Warm, attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely wonderful with the children. They consistently go above and beyond, and their care and dedication really shine through. The entire resort was a lovely experience, but Bageecha deserves special recognition. It is so much more than a kids club, and the team deserves enormous credit for creating such a special experience for families. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

Everything is Ok, MAJID is the best. We have felt very comfortable with MAJID treatment.

Incredible holiday in a brilliant location and on an epic island. Niva kuramathi was a lovely place to spend our family holiday. We booked direct and saved a lot of money and they threw in some great extras through the “summer state of mind” deal. The island was recommended as one of the best places to stay for families of five because we were all In one big beach house instead of across two villas, which is often the case in the Maldives (from what we found). The house reed was excellent, just don’t try and go out at low tide. Staff were all brilliant especially nashid on housekeeping for our room (beach house 396). He made special arty drawings for our kids out of sand on our front steps and made a lovely

We stayed at Kuramathi Island from 20–30 October, travelling from Glasgow, Scotland, and honestly, what an incredible 10 nights it was. This is easily one of the most beautiful resorts we have ever visited, and the experience from start to finish was exceptional. Accommodation We stayed in a Deluxe Water Villa, which was absolutely beautiful. The room was incredibly spacious, the bathroom was massive, and the outdoor decking area was perfect. Having the shaded seating area was a particularly nice touch, allowing us to enjoy the surroundings without being in the sun all the time. The villa was everything we could have hoped for. Housekeeping was also excellent throughout our stay, with no issues whatsoever. Food and Restaurants The food was quite simply out of this world. I genuinely don’t think I have ever experienced food of this quality and variety at a resort. We opted for the Dine Around package, which allowed us to experience all of the restaurants, and every single one was superb. The quality of the food and, just as importantly, the service across all the restaurants, including the buffet, was exceptional. My personal favourite was Siam Garden, although it really is difficult to single out just one. The lunches at the Coffee Shop, Inguru and Palm were also brilliant. Each offered something different, and all were well worth visiting. A special mention must go to Victoria, who was an absolute legend! She was so friendly, welcoming and personable, and her level of service really made an impression on us. It’s people like Victoria who make a holiday extra special. Gym and Spa The gym was excellent, with a great selection of equipment. I was able to get a full workout in without any issues, which is always a bonus when you’re away on holiday. The spa was equally impressive. The surroundings were beautiful, the staff were fantastic, and the treatments were some of the best I’ve experienced. I had two deep tissue massages and a men’s facial, all of which were brilliant. Definitely worth visiting! Bars and Entertainment The bars were a fantastic way to finish each evening, with a first-class selection of drinks and plenty of choice. We particularly loved the island band, The Antidote. They were genuinely superb and created such a great atmosphere. We always looked forward to seeing them perform. One of the highlights of our stay was the sunset event at the sandbank. Being able to sit and watch the most beautiful sunset with an Aperol Spritz in hand was such a lovely touch. These are the little experiences that make a holiday memorable. Getting Around the Island Having the buggies travelling around the island throughout the day was extremely helpful, particularly when it was hot or when you didn’t fancy a longer walk. My only constructive recommendation would be for the resort to consider better positioning and scheduling of the buggies around known busy periods. For example, having more available at the sandbank after sunset, when guests are leaving, and at reception when excursions return. On both occasions, we were left waiting for quite some time. The same could be said for dinner time, particularly between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm, when guests are heading to the à la carte restaurants and bars. Having additional buggies available during these peak periods would make an already excellent service even better. Overall Experience I genuinely have no negatives to report. Kuramathi is a truly spectacular resort, set on one of the most beautiful islands imaginable. From the accommodation and food to the staff, entertainment, facilities and little touches throughout the holiday, everything came together to create an unforgettable experience. A massive thank you to the entire Kuramathi team for making our stay so special. You should all be incredibly proud of what you deliver. We have come away with some incredible memories and would absolutely recommend Kuramathi to anyone considering a holiday in the Maldives. Thank you, Kuramathi, for an unbelievable 10 nights. We have made memories that will last a lifetime and, without a doubt, we won’t hesitate to return!

Our three-day stay was a mixed experience. Our Thundi Water Villa with Pool was beautiful, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job. A special mention to Mr. Shibu, our buggy driver, and Sheryl, the bartender, who were incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming. They were truly the highlights of our stay. However, the food was largely average, especially lunch and dinner, with Tandoor Mahal being particularly disappointing. We were also disappointed that scuba diving and the dolphin safari were unavailable to us, without adequate prior information or meaningful alternatives. Communication over calls could have been better, too. Overall, a beautiful property with some wonderful staff, but the dining experience, communication, and activity arrangements need improvement to make the stay truly worthwhile.
