Our view

Niva Kuramathi (formerly Kuramathi Maldives) suits couples who want a large island, a tandoor restaurant and the option of a seaplane. The catch is the timetable: seaplanes fly in daylight, and the resort's seaplane window is roughly 06:00 to 15:30, so an afternoon arrival in Malé means the 90-minute shared speedboat or a night in Malé.

What does a trip to Niva Kuramathi cost from each city?

Four nights for two: the cheapest Flight Finder fare for two adults, four nights at the lowest listed room rate, and the return transfer for two (US$200 to US$450 per person return: a planning range, converted at ₹97 to the dollar; the resort quotes the actual price). Meals and drinks are extra unless you add the resort's all-inclusive plan.

The room rate is the lowest room-only rate Google Hotels listed for one night on 4–5 November 2026, rounded to the nearest ₹1,000. Rates change by date and are higher in peak weeks, and a quote may add service charge and tax.

Which flight should you pick for Niva Kuramathi?
