2 Days in Kadmat for a Relaxing Nature Trip
Kadmat is a tiny slice of paradise with its white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, and lush coconut palms. I spent days just walking barefoot on the beach, watching the sunrise, and snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs. It's the kind of place where time slows down, and you can truly unwind. If you love quiet beaches and untouched nature, Kadmat is perfect.

Relaxing at Kadmat Island Resort Beach
After snorkeling, unwind at the serene Kadmat Island Resort Beach. The powdery white sand and swaying palms make it an ideal spot to lounge. You can also try kayaking or just sip on a fresh coconut while watching the waves.
- The resort serves great fresh juices—try the pineapple one.
- Shade is limited, so bring a hat or umbrella.
Sunset Walk and Seafood Dinner
As the day winds down, take a leisurely stroll along the beach at sunset. The sky turns shades of pink and orange, casting a magical glow over the island. End the day with a seafood feast at a local beachside shack—think grilled lobster, spicy fish curry, and crispy fried squid.

Take a guided stroll through Kadmat's quaint village to see daily island life. The highlight is watching local climbers scale 60-foot coconut palms with just a rope harness - they might even let you try cracking open a fresh coconut. You'll pass by pastel-colored houses and kids playing cricket in sandy lanes.
- Carry small change - you might want to buy homemade coconut oil

Night Fishing with Locals
As dusk falls, join fishermen on their traditional wooden boats for a hands-on fishing experience. They'll teach you to hand-line for snapper and grouper using simple techniques passed down for generations. The stars over the Arabian Sea make a breathtaking backdrop.
- Wear dark clothing - bright colors scare fish at night
- Motion sickness pills if you're prone to it
