About Kuramathi Maldives

Kuramathi Maldives is one of the longest resort islands in the country, in North Ari Atoll about 20 minutes by seaplane or around 90 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport — we come to you by seaplane or by boat. The island stretches nearly two kilometres with a famous sandbank trailing off one end, and offers beach villas, garden rooms, and overwater villas along a lagoon with a good house reef. The sandbank alone is reason to shoot here, and the island's length means quiet beach is never far.

A long, bare sand spit off the island's tip — 360-degree horizons and minimal, editorial frames at low tide.

Nearly two kilometres of sand — walking and family frames with plenty of space.

Sunset shore

The western beach faces open lagoon for end-of-day colour.

Before you go

Practical notes for Kuramathi Maldives

01
Photography and drone permissions

Resorts set their own photographer and drone policies — we clear access with the resort before your session, and where drones are not permitted on the island we shoot aerials from a nearby sandbank by boat.

02
Transfer and timing

Reachable by speedboat as well as seaplane, which gives us flexible arrival times; the sandbank is best around low tide, so we plan your slot with the tide table.
