ACTIVITIES
Diving
Kuramathi is blessed by having an amazing Hammerhead Shark Point a mere eight minutes away by boat – one of the few remaining places in the world where you can still see these magnificent creatures.
Comfort and convenience for diving guests is assured with fast, modern dive boats that reach more than 20 local dive sites in an average boat ride of just 15 minutes. Our local Rasdhoo atoll trips are supplemented by half day and full day trips to dive some of the best sites in neighbouring North Ari atoll.
Our experienced, multi-lingual dive team provides a friendly and professional service to our guests and our enthusiastic instructors will inspire beginners to discover this amazing liquid world while learning to dive with SSI or PADI. Experienced divers will also find challenging dives with many types of sharks, mantas, turtles, rays, napoleons, barracuda, trevally and tuna as well as many of the smaller, but no less interesting inhabitants of the reef.
Our knowledgeable team is complemented by the resident marine biologist divemaster and the Eco Centre where you can find out everything you want to know about marine life. We also provide nitrox for free to offer divers that extra safety margin and we are well-supported by the Kuramathi Medical Centre and Hyperbaric Chamber.
So whether you are a young diver, a family, a complete beginner, a single diver, a couple or a group of experienced divers, we invite you to come and dive with us and join the adventure!

Our excursions include
Island Hopping
This is a perfect opportunity to experience more of the Maldives. During the day we visit a local fishing Island (Ukulhas), another resort Island (Veligandu) and a beautiful desert island (Madivaru) where we stop for a BBQ lunch and walk to the sandbank.
Sunset Cruise
A must do! Take this chance to enjoy fiery Maldivian sunsets with a glass of sparkling wine. Don’t forget to take your cameras, as you may just bump into some dolphins.
Cultural Experience
Thoddoo is quite different from many of the other local islands. Set in its own tiny atoll, the island is an agricultural island, where they grow watermelon, papaya, melon, bananas and vegetables. We spend our time with a local farmer who will answer your questions, and we also visit a school, an old Mosque, and learn about the Island daily life. Finally we visit one of Thoddoo’s idyllic beaches where we can relax whilst enjoying a coconut and cool down in the sea.
Parasailing
A must do whilst in the Maldives! What better way to view the colors of the Indian Ocean and the islands of Rasdhoo Atoll. A perfect photo opportunity! Go as a single or a double. Some lucky people see dolphins jumping below them!
Evening Entertainment
Night life in Kuramathi is abundant, ranging from the resident live band, starlit discos by the resident DJ, movie nights on the beach, and two-piece musicians orchestrating the enticing entertainment Kuramathi has to offer our guests.
