Kurumba Maldives (Male, Maldivas)

A name derived from the coconuts that graciously grow in abundance throughout the island, The Kurumba Maldives, pioneered tourism in the Maldives in 1972. The first and finest resort, Kurumba Maldives has set the highest standards ever since. It re-opened in 2004 as a classic resort of distinction, class and style, run with the refinement and experience that discerning travellers appreciate. 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 gladded gardens, and shaded avenues of swaying palms. The serenity of the resort is perfectly matched by the uncompromising luxury expected by sophisticated guests from around the world. Individual villas of natural tones blend with the island's well-manicured landscape. 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. * House reef for snorkelling * A PADI certified dive centre managed by Euro Divers supports serious divers as well as beginners. * Kurumba Spa by Aquum Spa. * Extensive Dining and Entertainment options * Pirates and Mermaids, Kurumba Children's Club by Nannies Abroad * Water Sports Centre * Sports Centre * Resident Doctor on island. * Laundry and Dry cleaning services available. * On site shop for accessories as souvenirs, apparel, films, toiletries, postcards, swimwear and books. * Business Centre with high speed internet facilities * Please Ensure to provide Flight Information details as the only way to arrive at the hotel is by boat.
