Kurumba Maldives, pioneered tourism in the Maldives in 1972. The resort was then called Kurumba Village. Following complete reconstruction in 2003 it has emerged as a grand resort of distinctive style and panache. Kurumba is a mere 15 minutes by speedboat from touchdown.
The name 'Kurumba' is derived from the coconut trees that grow on Kurumba Maldives in glorious abundance.
A house reef teeming with exotic marine life makes Kurumba a snorkeling dream world. Its turquoise lagoon is perfect to laze in. Or there is a wide range of water sports to exhilarate. A PADI certified dive centre supports serious divers as well as beginners.
The extensive Kurumba Spa merges east with west using the life-giving properties of sea plants and minerals as well as indigenous herbs and flowers bringing about lasting rejuvenation.
Kurumba Maldives's lovingly nurtured tropical gardens include an orchid nursery. Shaded paths lead from one side of this 30-acre circular island to the other. Intimate white beaches are protected by eco-breakwaters of weathered coral.
Seven restaurants including an ocean side bar and a grill serve French, Italian, Japanese, Indian, Lebanese and Chinese cuisines. Live entertainment and a sing along lounge stimulate the evenings.
Our Opinion
The deluxe resort of Kurumba Maldives offers some of the best facilities in the Maldives including an excellent choice of restaurants. The dine around option which allows use of all the restaurants for dinner (excluding the ocean grill where a credit applies) - highly recommended.
