Bathala Island Holiday Rentals

"Amazing place, great water bungalow, staff are fantastic and the reef is incredible "

"Incredible 10 day stay at Kuramathi - with our 3 year old daughter! Highlights: We chose Kuramathi partly because of the kids club, which was even better than expected. It's much bigger than the website photos suggest, with two splash pads and a pool with slide, a garden, and lovely indoor play area. Our daughter loved it so much and kept requesting to go back. The staff are fun, caring and engaging. Huge thanks to Konnie, Rashma, Rachelle and Sara for making Wren feel so happy and secure. We were full board and ate at the buffet restaurants, rather than a la carte. The food was exceptional, better than any other buffet we have eaten at. The breakfast almond croissants deserve a special mention! The house reef is huge, wrapping three quarters of the island. While some parts have suffered slightly bleaching, there are numerous healthy varieties of coral. The fish life is incredible, and there is a huge population of black tip reef sharks. Access is easy from the beach or jetty - even our toddler could do it. Watching the black tips hunting fish from the jetty was such a highlight. Rasdhoo Dive Centre was excellent - we did a refresher dive on the reef, Wata was an excellent guide. We also did the Madivaru Dive, famous for white tip reef sharks, which was stunning. The excursions are excellent, well worth the money. We swam with manta rays on two separate snorkelling boat trips, which was an unforgettable experience."

"Everything was absolutly amazing. Especially Wendy was great - always around but never to pushy/intrusive. Rooms & Facilities feel new and on a high standard. Absolutly recommending the Ocean Pool Villas and the direct entry of the house riff. You can see sharks, stingrays and eagle sharks as well as a lot of other fishs."

"Staff were friendly and very helpful. Small touches made the stay very welcoming. Welcome drink, welcome greeting sharing all the info about the hotel and the island. Beautiful beach access. Room was spacious and included many free water refills. "

"The beach cabin is perfect, the staff is working very hard on maintaining the cabin and the grounds. The whole resort is just .. wonderfull"

"Fantastic little resort with a very high standard on everything from food to house reef and not least the fantastic and super friendly service provided. "

"Room was nice and big, however, a few things missing. No mini fridge for cold water. No hand towels in the bathroom. Light in shower didn’t work either. No place to rinse your feet before walking into room, since the door leads straight onto sand. Overall a pleasant stay, great location, just some small things that could make a huge difference. "

"top spot. "

"Wonderful experience. The house reef and the small number of villas are the main attractions "
