The crescent-shaped island resort of Kuramathi in the Maldives is located on Rasdhoo Atoll 35 miles (56km) from the airport in Malé. Seventy of its nearly 300 villas are set up on stilts above the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, offering amenities like wifi, air-conditioning, and in-room Jacuzzis. Kuramathi is popular for honeymoons, but is in actuality a very child-friendly resort with programmes and facilities for children and teenagers. Kuramathi has a dozen restaurants and bars to choose from, and a number of activities, including scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing, wake boarding, waterskiing, tennis, sunset cruises and a full-service spa. The resort also offers assistance in wedding planning.
