Kurumba
North Male Atoll
BB/HB/FB
7nts from £1079
Named after the coconuts that grow in abundance throughout the island, Kurumba Maldives pioneered tourism in the Maldives in 1972. Completely renewed, it re-opened in 2004 as a resort of distinction and style. Kurumba Maldives is Maldives\' first private island resort and one of its finest.

The Kurumba Maldives house reef is home to live coral growing on ancient volcanic mountains and a thousand different variations of stunning fauna - a paradise for divers. Shaded paths lead from one side of this 48-acre circular island to the other. The white sand beach surrounding the island is lapped by crystal clear waters of an azure lagoon, protected by eco-breakwaters of weathered coral. The resort is classical in design, with graceful meditation pavilions and a calm induced by a succession of ornamental pools. The serenity of the resort is perfectly matched by the uncompromising luxury of its bungalows and villas. Its abundant exotic gardens are lovingly tended over years. Kurumba Maldives offers Maldives\' signature hospitality and courteous service in an unspoiled tropical paradise. Guests can spend the days snorkelling in stunning turquoise waters, trying out the excellent choice of sports or just relaxing on the beautiful beach, and the evenings sampling the amazing cuisine in one of nine restaurants, before dancing the night away.
