Editor’s PicksWhere to stay

The stay decisions worth flagging in Kadmat Island.

Kadmat is one of Lakshadweep's better reef-diving destinations — SPORTS-operated beach resort with on-site diving school. Stay scene is Kadmat Island Beach Resort (government). Best for scuba-certified travelers. Access via MV Kavaratti ship from Kochi or Agatti + boat. Permit required.

The Upgrade Question

Kadmat Island Beach Resort (SPORTS) is the diving-focused Lakshadweep pick — known for one of the best reef conditions. Bangaram is the luxury-exclusivity alternative; Kadmat is the serious-diver option at more accessible pricing. For scuba travelers, Kadmat's diving school (on-site) is the draw.

Experience₹15-40k

Kadmat Island Beach Resort (SPORTS)

Diving-Focused Resort

SPORTS-operated resort with Lakshadweep's best-regarded diving school on-site. For PADI-certified or intro-course divers, Kadmat is the right island — the reef and lagoon conditions are serious-diver grade.

Morning 2-tank dive on Kadmat reef (drift-dive along the atoll edge, 15-25m), afternoon refresher course for beginners.
