Kurumba Island Resort Hotel Rating


Kurumba was the first Maldivian resort, it is now a very modern 5 Star with about every single amenity possible in the Maldives. You won’t get bored here with 10 restaurants serving all food types, two swimming pools and three tennis courts with many excursions on offer. It was renovated in 2004 and while lacking the rustic luxury of the new 5 Stars it has a contemporary 5 Star quality that is very appealing.
