About Kurumba Maldives
Kurumba Maldives is the original Maldives resort — the very first to open in 1972, on an island just 10 minutes by speedboat from the airport. Over five decades, Kurumba has evolved from a simple island retreat into a comprehensive 180-villa resort while maintaining its founding warmth and character.
The resort's extraordinary history, proximity to Male, and breadth of facilities — nine restaurants, multiple pools, comprehensive water sports — make Kurumba a Maldives institution.
