Opened in 1972, Kurumba Maldives is named after the coconuts that grow in abundance throughtout the island. It re-opened in 2004 as a classic resort of distinction, class and style and run with panache.
The Kurumba housereef is home to coral growing on ancient volcanic mountains and a thousand different variations of stunning fauna.
Kurumba Maldives is traditional in style and elegance, a unique holiday resort newly built to ancient Maldivian designs, with graceful meditation pavilions and a calm induced by a succession of ornamental pools. There are contemplative corners of artistic stones, exotic blooms galore in gladed gardens, and shaded avenues of swaying palms. The serenity of the resort is perfectly matched by the uncompromising luxury of its bungalows and villas..
Shaded paths lead from one side of this 48-acre circular island to the other. The white sand beach embracing the island is lapped by crystal clear waters of an azure lagoon, protected by eco-breakwaters of weathered coral.
