I visited this beach 5 years ago. We have traveled extensively, and I must say, this place is like paradise. It is absolutely heavenly.
Upon our arrival, they warmly welcomed us back, offered us a voucher for sparkling wine, and even gave us a complimentary massage at the spa. We had initially booked a basic beach villa but ended up getting upgraded to a deluxe garden villa, three levels higher.
Sure, the older accommodations may look a bit outdated at times, but everything you need is there and in working order. The service is exceptional, from the room attendants to the top-notch restaurants.
We opted for the all-inclusive package both times we visited. Without it, the cost might be quite high.
I am amazed at the size of this island and the number of people on it. Yet, you can stroll hand in hand, barefoot, along the romantically lit beach paths and hardly encounter anyone on your way to or from your villa.
I usually dislike going to the same place twice, but my wife convinced me, and now as I sit here writing this, I realize how I had forgotten just how stunning and marvelous this place is.
Everyone has their own opinions, and they can vary, but some of the negative comments simply made me laugh. I don't know what some people expect, but I cannot agree with them. I have never taken the boat ride; instead, I opted for the 20-minute seaplane experience, which is an adventure in itself. Kuramathi even has a beautiful lounge at the new seaplane terminal, so the hour and a half we spent there was very relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone, without a doubt.
