Kuramathi Blue Lagoon Maldives Resort offers 20 stunning water bungalows and 36 beach bungalows. The food is delicious and varied and the service is excellent: you don’t need to do anything but relax and enjoy!

The water bungalows only offer a shower where the even more luxurious beach bungalows offer you a shower, a bath and an open air shower.

Kuramathi Blue Lagoon is situated on Ari Atoll, Maldives, 35 miles from the airport, located on the western tip of Kuramathi Island. It is also spelled ‘ Kurumathi Blue Lagoon Maldives Resort ‘.

You can reach the resort by seaplane in 15 minutes or by boat in 90 minutes. We used a boat and the water is quite bumpy. You will arrive in Kuramathi Village, get a refreshment before being taken further to the lagoon. Once you reach Kuramathi Blue Lagoon, you are in paradise!

The Kuramathi Blue Lagoon Maldives Resort has 1 bar (Laguna Bar) and 3 restaurants: the Blue Lagoon Coffee Shop, La Lagoona Grill and the main Blue Lagoon Restaurant. Make sure you opt for an all inclusive package offering you all drinks and cocktails free from the resort.

You can book a sunset cruise, snorkeling, local island trip and an island hopping excursion (all are included in the all inclusive package). Nothing much to do for your children though.

Remember you are in the tropics so bring the strongest sunblocker possible when exposing yourself to the sun on the beach or when snorkeling in the water!

You can contact the resort as follows: Phone Number: (960) 666 0527 and Fax Number: (960) 666 0556.

If you want to wake up and look out at the sea from your bed, then book a bungalow at the Kuramathi Blue Lagoon Maldives Resort!

Maldives seen from the air

The first impression of the Maldives from the air would look like in the picture above… It’s all about small islands…

Maldives World Map

World Maldives Map

The Republic of Maldives is situated in the Indian Ocean.

The Maldives Islands consists of 1,190 islands grouped in 26 atolls stretching more than 800 km from north to south: crossing the equator at their south end.

Maldives Map of the Atols and airports

We repeat: the islands are small and so are the airports The Maldives are located about an hour’s flight southwest of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.

You can see 26 atoll formations, comprising over more than thousand islands and scattered like gem stones in a north to south direction. Only 199 of all the islands are inhabited (population about 240.00) and 75 Maldives’ islands have been set aside exclusively for tourist resorts.

A submerged mountain chain forms the base on which the coral reefs are built. The islands began forming 3,000 to 5,500 years ago by carbonate sediment:

• derived from these coral reefs and
• deposited by waves and currents.

Their low elevation makes the Maldives particularly vulnerable to storms, the late tsunami and changes in sea level due to global warming. In fact: this country is slowly disappearing in the sea, so Maldives maps will soon be a part of history…

I do love sunsets, but when it comes to the name of my site: Maldives Sunset, I want to express both the beauty of the islands and the sadness that due to global warming, the Maldives are disappearing in the sea.

So enjoy Maldives sunsets as much as you can, because one day, it won’t be there anymore…

Maldives Sunset… before the islands sink in the sea…
