NURAI ISLAND

With no cars and no more than 80 guests staying at the resort at any one time, this exclusive hideaway is the perfect spot for serene coasting relaxation and a spot of pampering just a short hop from the capital city. Stellar dining options provide a taste of local produce, much of it sustainably sourced from the island's kitchen garden. Try tapas at Dusk, Middle Eastern and international specialities at Frangipani, pizza at beach-club Smokin’ Pineapple, or sushi and cocktails at the Ginger Mermaid. Perched prettily at the water's edge, Hooked invites guests to select their fresh fish for authentic sea-to-table dining. Activities for your free time include an outdoor cinema, cooking classes, one-on-one yoga sessions, fishing expeditions and a wealth of watersports. For further marine adventures, take advantage of diving and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters accessible from the island's South Beach.
