Kurumba Maldives: The First, The Closest 5-Star Luxury Resort to Male Airport

Kurumba Maldives holds the title of the Maldives' very first resort. Located on a tropical private island in North Male Atoll, it's a mere 10-minute speedboat ride away from the Male International Airport. This translates to easy access from the main hub, without compromising the secluded island feel. This resort is an ideal choice for those who prefer a shorter transfer time, including elderly guests and families with young children.

Kurumba's 162 villas, all elegantly appointed beachfront havens, offer an idyllic retreat amidst nature's splendor. With 7 exquisite restaurants and 4 lively bars, Kurumba Maldives tantalizes the taste buds with a culinary journey that spans the globe. For those seeking underwater adventures, Kurumba's vibrant house reef is a snorkeling paradise teeming with marine life. Explore the kaleidoscope of colors and intricate formations of the coral reefs, where schools of fish dance amidst the underwater gardens.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a tranquil retreat, Kurumba Maldives promises an unforgettable Maldivian experience, where luxury, personalized service, and natural beauty intertwine to create a paradise like no other.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Very attentive service

Very good gastronomy, friendly & attentive service, island is like a botanical garden full of frangipani flowers.
I forgot my sunglasses in the lobby and left for the next resort in Maldives. Before I mentioned my lost, hotel stuff had found my glasses and informed me.
I asked them to pass them to the Kurumba desk in the airport & was going to pick them up in a few days upon departure. Instead, Kurumba stuff managed to pass my sunglasses directly to my next resort, not to make me waiting!
It’s just a small episode, but its reveal how attentive is Kurumba staff to their guests!
Spacial thanks to Christine and Leyla!
