When booking our trip to the Maldives, due to the limited vacation time we had, we were looking for somewhere that was close to the airport yet still provided us with the unique Maldives experience. Kurumba provided us with exactly what we needed. Only ten minutes from the airport by speed boat, we stayed in a Superior Room where we had direct access to the beach. The room was clean, with an exquisite touch of modernity that did not detract from the natural paradise that surrounded us. We were able to enjoy activities such as snorkelling and tennis. We were also lucky enough to enjoy an evening with complimentary alcoholic beverages while watching the sunset over the water and interacting with the hotel staff and other hotel guests (one of several events put on by the hotel during the week). Our only regrets were not being able to enjoy more activities provided by the hotel (due to our limited time) and not purchasing the all inclusive deal at the time of booking (the beverages proved quite costly when purchased individually). Being one of the oldest resorts in the Maldives, Kurumba has definitely not lost it's charm!

After reading a lot of reviews in TripAdvisor we were like KURUMBA is "THE" place we were looking for in maldives. The resort is very clean , well maintained . We had opted for Superior Bungalow which was really good , spacious enough , clean. The staff at kurumba are always smiling and make you feel very nice. The beach is also very well maintained. The breakfast buffet was really too good . Rest of the food for lunch and dinner is also fine. Specially to mention Aseela helped us a lot in getting the veg food for which we requested for everyday. But water activities/sports are expensive we felt. We do get a free wifi . All in all we had an awesome stay !! And definitely we will visit Kurumba again . Kudos to the whole Team of KURUMBA !!

This island is a 20 minute speed boat ride from Male so it stands to reason that there will be sea and air traffic in the vicinity and the noise that this incurs. However on the plus side, within an hour of landing, you are efficiently transported to your room with your luggage and you can unpack and relax.
Kurumba cannot do anything about the proximity to Male. It is what it is. However what it can influence is the standard of accommodation, the service provided by every member of staff without exception and the absolute first rate quality of every morsel of food we have eaten over the week. It is without doubt first class in every aspect.
If you have large appetites for food and drink, the all inclusive packages will probably give you the best value for money but be aware, the portions are huge. We soon learnt to share a lunchtime snack. The more expensive AI package gives you unlimited access to the speciality restaurants where most food is included but some things do carry a small supplement. I have to say that the quality and presentation of all the food including breakfast has been amazing.
Each room has numbered allocated sun beds on the beach which is good in the sense that you know you have a bed regardless but may not be great if you are in a crowded area and there isn’t much room for manoeuvre however it does save the scramble for beds and there are free beds around the pool. Beach towels are plentiful and always available. A special mention to April, Lovely, Akter and Mahsood along with all the other staff and the manager at the Kando bar who kept us fed and watered during the day and some evenings.
If I wanted to really find fault, the white wine wasn’t always chilled enough but an ice bucket soon resolved that issue.
The rooms were very clean, spacious and well appointed with everything you could need and were always fully serviced each day.
Having stayed in many 4 and 5* hotels, this would currently be my number one. If your idea of a Maldivian resort is to be surrounded by nothing but water, this may not be the place for you but before you disregard it consider the top class standard that you will get here. In the evening after the sun goes down, the lights of Male twinkle across the Indian Ocean and you are relaxing in paradise.
