Overview Of Kurumba Island Resort
Kurumba Island Resort is located in Kaafu (North Male) Atoll, Maldives, around fifteen minutes by speedboat from the international airport in Male. Kurumba was the first island resort opened in the Maldives in 1972, then locally called Vihamanaa Fushi. Named after the coconuts that grow in abundance throughout the island, Kurumba Island Resort was completely renewed and re-opened in 2004 and as an exclusive five star property.
Shaded paths lead from one side of this 48-acre circular island to the other. The white sand beach encircling the island is lapped by crystal clear waters of an azure lagoon, protected by eco-breakwaters of weathered coral. Lush gardens, lovingly raised over years, have been maintained. Graceful meditation pavilions and a calm inducing succession of ornamental pools were added. The serenity of the resort is perfectly matched by the luxurious feel of its bungalows and villas. Kurumba Maldives offers Maldives' signature hospitality and value luxury.
