Overview

‘A sensational paradise’

Kurumba was the first resort in the Maldives and remains one of the finest. Named after the coconuts which grow in abundance throughout the island, you will find rooms, villas and residences in a traditional Maldivian design but complete with all the modern flashes of luxury to wow its visitors. Set between lush tropical vegetation, ornamental pools, an orchid nursery and palm-lined sandy avenues which lead around the 48 acre circular island and lapped by a white sandy beach and crystal lagoon. Escapism at its finest.

‘Winner of 3 prestigious awards at the 2008 Trip Advisor Travellers Choice, Kurumba comes highly recommended not just by us but by the whole travel industry. A perfect spa resort in an ageless romantic setting’
