hotel Kurumba is the first Maldivian medical and health complex, which opened the charm and comfort of a holiday on the reef islands of the Maldives to residents of other countries.And if tourists very often call the Maldives a snow-white necklace in the perspective of the turquoise brocade of the ocean, then Kurumba is without a doubt one of its rarest and most priceless pearls.

The Maldives medical and health complex Kurumba has a beautiful natural reef, watch

Snorkelers flock to see its colorful and bizarre inhabitants

and diving from all over the world.

Kurumba – 1st surrounded by ideal

The small and charming Kurumba health and wellness complex occupies the area of ​​the island of Vihamanaa Fushi, which is 1 of the 1192 coral islands that make up the territory of the Maldives. By the way, this is one of those rare cases when the name of the Maldives island and the name of the hotel are not the same. The incident in Kurumba was caused by a huge number of coconut palms on the island, after which the hotel got its name: Kurumba – in the language of the local inhabitants it means “coconut”. Consequently, when you come to Kurumba, you penetrate not so much into paradise, but into coconut paradise.

In terms of ratings, Kurumba, in compliance with all formalities, is classified as a luxury-level hotel, which is systematically confirmed by numerous reviews from visitors to this resort – the hotel’s consistently first-class service over the 40-plus years of its existence has won over a thousand of the most capricious and sophisticated tourist hearts.

Indeed, Kurumba is a comfortable and colorful guard in the environment

Maldivian resorts. Exactly 40 years ago, in 1972, he took a trial

native shores of foreign visitors. At that time they talked about it – “1st resort

in the Maldives”, at the moment they say – “1st surrounded by ideal ones”. And they say it for good reason!

accommodation options: heavenly “huts” with all amenities

The management corporation Universal Resorts has done everything possible to ensure that when choosing villas, guests are guided only by personal capabilities and preferences. There are quite a lot of accommodation options on the island: from budget, but very comfortable rooms in 2-story dwellings to spacious presidential villas with a private pool, terrace and jacuzzi. The apogee of luxury is a very large royal residence (one could almost call it a mini-estate), consisting of 3 comfortable villas with 2 swimming pools. And no matter what room you stay in, you will one way or another be treated like kings – this order has prevailed at Kurumba for 40 years.

You can get complete information about all accommodation options at the resort without exception – in detail, colors and even in motion – at the resort’s office. There you can immediately book the villa format you like.

Renovated swimming pools at Kurumba Maldives

Lying by the pool with your favorite book is, as they say, priceless! The Maldivian resort Kurumba, which always cares about the comfort of its visitors, presented two updated swimming pools (for children and huge ones), surrounded by a practical lounge area.

There is no doubt that the renovated pools will appeal to both the huge,

so do young travelers!

The pools are decorated with natural stone decor and bright mosaics in the natural shades of the Maldives. Spectacular design and good ocean views make this space the ideal island getaway. On the sun loungers mounted just in the water near the huge pool, you want to lie for hours, sipping your favorite cocktail and watching how beautifully the majestic ocean landscape changes. An equally comfortable relaxation area is located next to the children’s pool. Father and mother can sit here comfortably and watch the children play.

Entertainment and activities: near the water, on the water, under water

There are also an enviably large number of ways to have fun on Kurumba – neither the big ones nor the children will be bored. So, for example, while father and mother play tennis on a professional court, or visit the gym, improve their body and spirit in a yoga class or spa complex, relax at karaoke or go diving and snorkeling, the children are under the careful supervision of professional animators.

by the way, Kurumba is extremely proud of his native children’s club Majaa – primarily due to

the fact that not every hotel in these parts is ready to offer a similar service,

and also – the club workers not only amuse their tiny visitors, but

and train them professionally. So, for example, ordinary dancing, swimming,

immersion, serving and etiquette, making simple dishes

and even… environmental sources.

And yet, the main favorite pastime of local visitors is, of course, diving! After reconstruction, another international-level diving center was opened at the Kurumba Hotel, which better corresponds to a 5-star hotel 10 minutes from the capital’s airport! Now guests have access to 30 unique dive routes, surrounded by as many as two “Manta Points” (a rare place where you can meet the Manta ray, which the locals call the sea devil)! All of these great dive sites are easily accessible to the public – about half an hour by boat. And if you are a successful holder of a diving license, then the equipment will be provided to you free of charge. Even children “dive” here! In addition to all this, free introductory diving courses for beginners are held three times weekly.

Don’t forget to try night fluo diving! Comfortable water temperature of 28-30° C, visibility up to 40 meters and, of course, the inimitable enchanting underwater world of the ocean depths – all the conditions for impeccable diving in the Maldives are created here – on Kurumba!

Kurumba is also number one on the list of colorful and clean lagoons, which are separated from the reef by a chain of specially built breakwaters. This lagoon is literally the blue dream of every human child and every mother, because even the smallest toddlers feel safe and comfortable here.

A very interesting and rainbow world of a unique reef, watch life

which snorkelers from all over the world fly here, starts,

as befits every fairy tale, immediately after the nearby turn – or rather,

behind the nearby breakwater…

Finally, you can’t miss the spa! The caring, courteous, and highly skilled staff at Veli Spa will do everything to help you relax during your first few days of relaxation. Among the various treatments and massages on the spa menu, there are unique techniques based on ancient Maldivian wellness practices. For example, massages with Maldivian coconut oils and masks made with local herbs are definitely worth trying. Kurumba was the first resort to offer traditional healing techniques to tourists. Dhivehi beis, an original healing method using local herbs, the secrets of which have been passed down from generation to generation in the Maldives, is rightfully considered number one on the list of popular similar treatments.

Kurumba is a true paradise for connoisseurs of fine cuisine.

Universal Resorts, the corporation that currently manages Kurumba, places a strong emphasis on culinary services. And it’s already succeeding: a dozen themed bars and restaurants are open daily on the island, not counting the main restaurant, Vihamana, where hotel guests enjoy international cuisine. Twelve other establishments regale visitors with Arabic and Japanese, Indian and Chinese, Mediterranean and Italian cuisine non-stop. Even the most discerning restaurant critic or sophisticated gourmet has plenty to satisfy on Kurumba.

Kurumba Mahal is one of the resort’s most exquisite restaurants, offering Indian cuisine.

Aren’t there enough temptations yet to make you want to head to Kurumba on your next vacation? In that case, I’ll conclude your “tourist debauchery” and my list of Kurumba’s heavenly positive aspects with another trump card: this resort is one of several operating on the all-inclusive system, a concept that is so widely accepted by Russian tourists.

When it comes to all-inclusive service, Kurumba Maldives Resort is second to none. It’s no coincidence that it was voted the ideal all-inclusive hotel in 2015, according to the authoritative resource TripAdvisor. In addition to the usual Full Board All-Inclusive package, there’s a Dine Around All-Inclusive option for true connoisseurs of fine cuisine. Those who choose this option have the opportunity to sample the best of the best dishes at any of the island’s eight restaurants. Add to this a spacious villa, complimentary snorkeling equipment rentals, evening live music concerts, and other local amenities, and you’re sure to have a truly unforgettable vacation!

Wedding and Honeymoon at Kurumba

Kurumba truly resembles a park, carefully tended by a royal gardener. There are even paved paths—a true rarity in the Maldives! Do you even know what paved paths in paradise are? It means you don’t have to pack away your favorite high-heeled sandals—the kind you can’t really walk around in on the coral sand, but which look so stunning on tanned feet in the evening lights of the restaurant terrace. Especially on the bride’s feet…

Kurumba is renowned as the island that hosts the most luxurious and memorable wedding ceremonies, and in turn as a resort where hundreds of newlywed couples from all over the world flock each year to spend perhaps some of the most loving moments of their lives…
