The Maldives' first resort, ten minutes from the airport: a lively, leafy island with eleven places to eat and a reef full of sharks and turtles.
Dieses Resortprofil gibt es vorerst nur auf Englisch.
Kurumba opened in 1972 as the first resort in the Maldives, on Vihamanaafushi, just 10 minutes by speedboat from the airport. Now run by Niva, it's a green, sociable island that works well for families and for short stays at the start or end of a trip.
Rooms range from Superior Rooms and Deluxe Bungalows in a coconut grove to beachfront bungalows, beach villas, garden and deluxe pool villas, two-storey family villas and a single two-bedroom residence with two pools.
Dining is the big draw, with buffets at Vihamanaa, Japanese at Hamakaze, seafood over the water at Thila, Middle Eastern at Al Qasr, Indian at Mahal, Khing Thai and beachfront Athiri, plus Kandu and Fez for drinks. The house reef has black-tip reef sharks and turtles, Euro Divers runs PADI courses, and the kids' club takes children from 4 to 12.
Malé and the airport are in view across the water, so it doesn't feel remote, and it's a busy resort. The entry rooms have no pool.
