Did you know Kurumba was the first private island resort in the Maldives? Built back in the 1970’s this friendly island is still one of the visitors’ favorites. We met many people during our time in the country who spoke of the resort with nostalgic fondness. The Maldives now boasts over 200 luxury resorts, but Kurumba is still going strong and has stayed true to its Maldivian roots giving you a taste of the local culture alongside island luxury. We loved the rustic beach villas, clear blue waters, activity filled kids club, and amazing dining destinations. Their Dine Around All Inclusive Package is amazing value for groups and families looking to sample a little of everything and also enjoy cocktails poolside or at the sunset bar. Have a romantic dinner under the stars at Thila or check out the Middle Eastern fare at Al Qasar. Sign up for family snorkeling sessions or take a cruise in search of dolphins. We loved long mornings in the refreshing main pool and spotting crabs and reef sharks along the shallow beach. The fun is endless and the close proximity to Velana International Airport means it’s a great option if you have an early morning flight and want to spend your last night only a ten minute boat ride away. Staff cannot do enough to assist you in all aspects of your stay and you’ll feel right at home on the comfortable and relaxed island.
