We had a very good time at Kurumba. Great villa and great beach. Travelers do need to be aware that the view from large parts of the island is industrial and there will be plane noise, but we still chose the resort due to its location - it’s only a 10 minute boat trip from Male airport which is fantastic. Breakfast at Thila was awesome and food at the restaurants was very good; generally, everything was well maintained and people were very friendly. Unfortunately we had to leave early - while we were there, our government put out a travel warning due to Corona and started to lock down the country. The lady at reception informed us - in these words - that there was no chance for a refund since there is a 100% cancellation fee and good bye. Of course the hotel is in no way obliged to give us a refund but literally no acknowledgment of the situation was given. Probably something to take into account when choosing a hotel these days. Overall we were very happy with our stay and we will definitely come back to the Maldives once it’s safe to travel again. Not sure we will choose Kurumba again due to the bit bitter ending but we might since otherwise it’s a really good resort.…

We visited kurumba maldives on 6th march and stayed for 3 nights in delux bungalow 213 & 214 just few mtrs away from beach.. to summarise the experience i have noted few key points which will be helpful to all who are planning : Distance from male: 10 min boat ride( we wanted to be near male due to covid19 panic as hospital access or evacuation would be easy) , super fast check in , honored our request for early check in which was great. Beach,water, reef & gardens : it was our first trip to maldives so we haven't seen many resorts but from our personal experience , research and other guests reviews it was at par with all the best resorts. rooms: all rooms are spacious ,upmarket , well maintained will suggest room facing open ocean which gives u a feeling of privacy and faraway from world feeling. bar ,restaurants & food : plenty of options , something for everyone , one of the best indian food that we had on a holiday away from india special mention to chef kelum and chef nanda for making our stay memorable all the other staff was also cooperative ( except odd few from the kandu bar).. Package : we chose the all inclusive package as we were two couples and didn't want to waste time ordering and comparing costs..but this option is only good if you have above avg. alchohol or beverages consumption requirement, for us it was value for money . overall kurumba maldives lived up to the expectations of most of the travellers who come to this paradise, we generally do not repeat resort properties but somehow kurumba has left us to be wanting more of it.. so we will be back soon. cheers to all the staff working there for making it so.. Regards, Ashish karwa…

My wife Janet and I visited this island together for our first ever trip to the Maldives to enjoy both of our birthdays whilst here. From first stepping on the island to our last day the staff could not do enough for you. The food and drink was spectacular and we even had a visit to our table on several occasions from the executive chef of the island Janne antero ollikainen to ask if we had any special requests, We have never experienced this before and we have stayed in many resorts. Even Faisal from the Cafe restaurant visited our table and offered the mushroom soup recipe that my wife loved. The ratio of staff to guests is almost 1-2-1, they have 500 staff working on the island to take care of your every request. Many people we have spoken to have visited Kurumba several times and keep coming back. They say that islands further away are challenging to get to by sea airplane and it can take several hours including waiting, so Kurumba is a breeze and is 10 minutes on the power boat. The evening entertainment is good which includes singers, DJ’s and Bands, all very good. Our recommendation would be to upgrade to the All inclusive Dine Time which means you can eat at all 7 restaurants. All to a very high standard with good quality wine and beer. We stayed in a deluxe bungalow which had french doors opening to the sandy beach area with palm trees, very spacious and always cleaned regular by the house keeping staff. There’s lots of activities and excursions available of which some are complimentary. The first day we arrived to watch the sunset from the beach a 4ft shark came to visit. These are harmless black fin sharks that eat plankton and seaweed. The trip out to see the dolphins was spectacular with some great sightings of these wonderful creatures. The Recreation team are outstanding and hats off to their manager Ziyad who is a credit to the resort. The paragliding was amazing, it was my first time and I was initially nervous but once you realise you are in good hands you will relax as I did. The bar Kandu has amazing decking around it with double sun beds and pool close by. The Thila restaurant overlooks the ocean, a must to have a night here. We simply can not say enough about this place and we will definitely be coming back soon. I would rate it as a 7 star not 5 star Who knows maybe back for my 50th in 3 years. …

My wife and I have just returned from a fabulous 2-week holiday at the Kurumba Resort in the Maldives. It was sensational, probably one of our best resort holidays. General Manager Andrew and his staff should be very proud of the comfort and service they deliver to their guests. We were on the All Inclusive Dine Around package and housed in one of the Deluxe Bungalows. The package allowed us a choice of restaurant options at both lunch and dinner as well as other activities/services (e.g. snorkel trips, laundry, trip into Male etc.). Our bungalow was on the northwest side of the island with wonderful views over the Indian Ocean and was kept in pristine condition by the room staff with frequent bed linen/towel changes and turn down service in the evening whilst out. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff at the resort. Miho Koike Assistant Front Office Manager is a credit to the operation with her professionalism and customer focus and Amil, the provider of superb cocktails in the Kandu bar went above and beyond the call of duty in order to temp us with the widest variety of drinks imaginable. He even created bespoke cocktails for us based on the type of tastes we have – many thanks Amil for everything and apologies for not getting to the cocktail party on the beach on Sunday, afraid we ran out of time before departing. The range and quality of food in the restaurants was brilliant, many thanks to Executive Chef, Janne Ollikainen and his team of chefs and restaurant staff. Our regular haunt for both lunch and pre-dinner drinks was the Kandu bar which provided us with live entertainment most nights, thanks to manager Hillary and all the staff in there, you looked after us admirably. Our overwhelming impression of the resort was how friendly and eager to please everyone was, from gardeners through to management, it was a perfect location for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Finally, but no les important for me was the ocean, I am a keen diver and spent a considerable amount of time under the water as well as by it. Euro Divers are the resort diving company and they were fantastic, if you are interested I have left feedback on their website. Suffice to say that my wife has never before experienced encounters with sharks, turtles and stingrays but she did this snorkeling in the waters around the island, OUSTANDING!! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who became our friends at Kurumba, we had a fabulous time and look forward to returning and seeing you all again Brian & Barbara Harrison…

Isola (Italian), Thila (modern seafood grill), Khing Thai (Thai), Mahal (Indian), Al Qasr (Arabic), Cafe (all day dining). Depending on the package chosen, but to experience all, the best option is the Dine Around All Inclusive. Please see the website for more details on the meal plans
Yes, we are quite close to the airport and there are times when airplanes will pass nearby. For most of our guests, this is not an issue, and they appreciated the many other great aspects of our resort. If you are looking for an isolated island experience, Kurumba will not be it. We do have amazing beaches, a beautiful lagoon, one of the best house reefs in the atoll, numerous species of fish, turtles, baby shark, etc. On top of that, 8 restaurants, 3 bars and a very friendly and passionate team. It is always best to read other reviews and comments and you will get a feel. The proximity to the airport can be viewed as negative, but there are some great benefits as well.
Includes:
Lunch with a choice of two menus in three locations with beverages. Dinner with a choice of eight restaurants with beverages. Additional Beverage Outlets: Athiri, Kandu & Fez
