    ...This was a third visit to Kurumba and it did not disappoint yet again. The staff 100% make this resort, they are honestly incredible... We stayed for 8 nights but originally booked for 6, we were having such a great time we decided to extend... Those staff member that made our trip amazing by exception (although all staff were great) were Pinka, Akter, AJ, Amil, Saeed (Waiter in Pool Bar), Nolly, Kaylan, Noy, April, Amil and our fanstastic housekeeper Zahir... I actually felt very sad in particular saying goodbye to Pinka and Akter, they were so lovely, our son loved them, true assets to the team... The resort is brilliant for both dairy free and gluten free with many options available at all restaurants including starters, mains and deserts, my son is dairy free and I’m gluten free!... We did not realize this until our second to last night and we’re really gutted that the staff we thought we were tipping for excellent services were not in fact the ones receiving them... I’d highly recommend getting cash out at the airport to do so and give to the staff rather than adding it to the bill...

The moment we arrived in the lounge, Nafiu greeted us and take care of any request or queries we had... Kasun also explained the facilities around while we are on a buggy... I would like to express my thanks to Amil from the bar (Srilankan) who served us and recommending good cocktail drinks for us... :) We also want to thank the Spa team especially to Maya, Thinley and Farida(I'm not sure if I correctly spell her name.)... Maya has been really good of giving us a quick tour of the spa and recommending some good products of yours... We did the treatment too with the Thinley and Farida and had a relaxing spa experience... Thank you everyone and we will surely come back to stay a bit longer...

    The attention to detail and the genuine care you showed us truly made a difference in our experience. Whether it was the friendly smiles and greetings, the prompt and efficient assistance with any request, or the expert recommendations for activities and dining, we felt incredibly well taken care of... Please extend our special thanks to Saeed for the smooth check-in and boat arrangement ... Sahil and Niu made sure we carry Maldives beauty with us, the photoshoot was fabulous... Nizar also went extra mile to help us find transportation while discovering the city... Akter at the bar was extraordinary and friendly, Alisha for the best hospitality at breakfast... Last but not least a big shout to Levan for a smooth check out and everyone who stood out for their exceptional service and made our stay even more delightful... Thank you again for making our stay so extraordinary... We look forward to returning to Kurumba in the future and experiencing your warm hospitality once more...

    Me & a friend had a wonderful 3 days at Kurumba... We loved everything about the island... From arriving at the airport & the boat being very prompt due to only being 10 mins from the island was amazing, no hanging around or waiting for other flights like other islands. We got to the island at 08:45, our room was ready, check in was very smooth & we were taken to our Deluxe Bungalow to settle, change & make breakfast that had anout hour remaining... Rooms are spacious with outdoor showers, L'ocitaine ameneties & privacy from the room/other bungalows... Chefs, waiters & cusine all amazing... make sure you book before you travel or when you check in so you don't miss out... Suitable for friends, familes & singles - we met people who had been repeat guests for years as they loved the island & staff so much... Kurumba - thanks to you & your staff for looking after us... Already recommending you to anyone who wants to land, boat & commence relaxing...

    ...The grounds are beautifully and meticulously maintained, the operation is flawless, the food is consistently incredible but the one thing that stands out more than most is the people who work there. Many of them have worked there for a long time and their passion for giving you the best experience really stands out... Our latest trip was our 3rd visit to the island and on each occasion we’ve been treated incredibly well, by the delightful Amjad, Ahmed and Shimal in the restaurants, Chef Kelum has served us incredible food, Noy and Amil at the pool bar, all making our trip extra special... We visited as a couple this time but the past two times we’ve also brought our children so wanted to make a special mention to the kids club team... Also a shout out to Mustafa who we’ve had the pleasure to meet on the Dolphin Sunset Cruise a couple of times, he always ensures the children aboard have an opportunity to see the dolphins...

    ...Although we arrived at 10.00am our room was ready and Leyla with Saeed from the FO welcomed us , made us feel in love with this amazing place. Meet and Greet: At the airport we were welcomed by hotel representative, who arranged the sharing speed boat service for us... It was smooth and took just 15 minutes to re reaach the island... The place: great hotel with super friendly, professional staff... Spacious rooms with all necessary amenities... We had our breakfast and dinners at all say dining and were impressed with the quality of the service and the food... Manjoo recommended the roasted veal and it was mouth watering... We had snacks and drunks at the bar and Kalyaan was always there ready with some recommendations...

    ...The location is incredibly convenient, island simply paradise and the staff are just unbelievable. Nothing is too much trouble from the welcome aboard the speedboat transport, arrival at Kurumba right down to the moment you leave, there's nothing but happiness... As we've returned a few times now, it's inevitable that you get to know some of the staff and both Ahmed and Amjed really stood out to us as being exceptional people... Every other member of the team is always happy, friendly and keen to help which makes the stay so incredible... There's absolutely nothing we would change and we'll be returning again and again!...

    This hotel deserves so much credit... I really thought we might compromise on quality in some areas but it was very good... Rooms were clean and well looked after... I want to do a special mention to the staff in the kids club, my daughter absolutely loved going if though it was never very busy... They made her feel so special and she has said it was the best part of her holiday... A special shout out to Azu who my daughter really warmed to and actually gave my daughter a few presents on the last day... The service could be slow around the pool sometimes...

    ...The resort is brilliant for both dairy free and gluten free with many options available at all restaurants including starters, mains and deserts, my son is dairy free and I’m gluten free! Whilst the food all round is outstanding we have to compliment Hamakaze Chef Nolly - The pool area is immaculate and the housekeeping staff doing a wonderful job keeping everywhere spotless... The evening entertainment is perfect for all ages as it the welcome drinks and canopies... There is a lovely little shop to pick up some souvenirs or essentials like swim nappies or deodorants, postcards and even swimwear!... My only recommendation for the resort would be: 1) for the Childrens club to be refurbished/updated (although our son still loved it) 2) To have the option to have some umbrellas and stands by the pool Sun loungers for those seeking a little shade 3) The shop to stock some inflatables or pool toys for ages 3 and under 4) Baby change units in the male toilets as well as female by the pool 5) Tips: We were really disappointed to find that when leaving tips on bar or food bills that the amount is not distributed to the whole team and only to the staff member that has their names on the ticket/bill...

    We stayed last month for a two night stay in a Garden Pool Villa... The 10 minute boat ride was nice... The moment we arrived in the lounge, Nafiu greeted us and take care of any request or queries we had... Kasun also explained the facilities around while we are on a buggy... Food and Beverage services I must say its really great!... I would like to express my thanks to Amil from the bar (Srilankan) who served us and recommending good cocktail drinks for us... Maya has been really good of giving us a quick tour of the spa and recommending some good products of yours... We did the treatment too with the Thinley and Farida and had a relaxing spa experience... Overall, we had the most relaxing and memorable stay...

    Me & a friend had a wonderful 3 days at Kurumba... We loved everything about the island... From arriving at the airport & the boat being very prompt due to only being 10 mins from the island was amazing, no hanging around or waiting for other flights like other islands. We got to the island at 08:45, our room was ready, check in was very smooth & we were taken to our Deluxe Bungalow to settle, change & make breakfast that had anout hour remaining... By day the island is quiet as everyone ejoys their own assigned loungers outside their villas... Pool area is livelier with a bar if you want to be around others... There is a beach bar also that is open until 6:30pm & the place to watch the sunset as there is no view of the mainland from this side of the island... Rooms are spacious with outdoor showers, L'ocitaine ameneties & privacy from the room/other bungalows... We upgraded to all inclusive to enjoy the restaurants or have the flexibility to not make breakfast & instead have lunch at one of the outlets... On an evening the Teppenyaki restauant, seafood grill & Thai were all sampled & enjoyed... Chefs, waiters & cusine all amazing... make sure you book before you travel or when you check in so you don't miss out... The island is tropical & so green as you walk round it, but still ample activities to enjoy in the middle of the island/on the beach for water sports - including excursions on the reef or glass bottomed boat in the All inclusive package... Suitable for friends, familes & singles - we met people who had been repeat guests for years as they loved the island & staff so much... Kurumba - thanks to you & your staff for looking after us... Already recommending you to anyone who wants to land, boat & commence relaxing...

    ...The hotel is clean and typical Maldives, the staff is very friendly and always helpful. The food is very good and there are plenty of activities (aside from water-sports, there is Yoga, a waterpark for the kids, a basketball court, pool table etc.)... A blessing because it is extremely convenient getting out of the airport, hopping on the boat and literally half an hour later you are in your room... Lastly it is not that "typical" remote resort (you can see Male and all the construction happening) but then again the closeness to the capital is truly convenient...

Excellent accommodation, fastidiously maintained, beautifully appointed set within glorious grounds of colourful trees, plants and shrubs... The beach bars are strategically placed around the lagoon and the main bar overlooks the interesting waterway back to Male... There are highly authentically themed eateries as well as first class grills and a wonderful buffet... The staff are highly service oriented as well as friendly and determined to make your stay a memorable one...

    ...What I can say is that this is unlike any other island, it’s the first Maldivian island that was founded 50yrs ago and this shows, it’s such a well established hotel... Our latest trip was our 3rd visit to the island and on each occasion we’ve been treated incredibly well, by the delightful Amjad, Ahmed and Shimal in the restaurants, Chef Kelum has served us incredible food, Noy and Amil at the pool bar, all making our trip extra special... If you’ve ever wondered about taking young children with you this is the island for you, with a 7min speedboat journey from the airport, a fantastic kids club with activities and events on all day and a fantastic pool it makes entertaining them really easy...

There are so many restaurants in resort so that you can get large variety of options in cuisine... We enjoy our day like, first we have lavish breakfast, then we go for beach round and enjoy the beach view, then we go for some activities, and at last in bar area... Rooms are also very good and in low budget also as compared to other resorts in Maldives... We even connected today also... They are very best in terms of service, price and everything...

The kids club is great the ladies there made our children feel very welcome and the water park is perfect... When we arrived it was not operating however a gentleman came quickly over and turned the water on the kids loved it!... That evening we had booked ourselves in the Hamakaze restaurant... Without my wife noticing I advised our waiter that I wanted to make the day special... He went above and beyond to help us, provided us with a cake and a special bottle of fizz... I will 100% return to this special Island, the food, accommodation, service is all perfect!...

Just the loveliest stay at Kurumba, booked very last minute, literally the day before we arrived. The people are a delight, the snorkelling is like nothing I’ve ever seen, the massage was the best I’ve ever had (I’ve been to Thailand and had lots of massages) the food is sensational, went to the teppanyaki twice, the Thai and the Grill, all amazing! Sand is like talcum powder. The staff here are so lovely, so kind and welcoming - we are moving to Kuramathi tomorrow for 5 days and really hope it’s even half as good as here 🤞 First time to the Maldives but won’t be the last - lovely people and stunning place 😊

Hotel's Favorite
Just back from our third visit to Kurumba ( 1st in 2019 and 2nd in 2021). This time we booked the delux pool villa ( previous visits were in garden pool villas) and it certainly didn’t disappoint! We’ve had the most fantastic relaxing week. We booked the all inclusive and ate in each restaurant ( except the Arabic) and didn’t have a bad meal. Although our two childrens favourite was the japanese and I need to give a special mention to Robert - he is a fantastic chef and put on an amazing show ( we ended up going there twice). We ate lunch in the bar everyday - the staff in there are amazing! Special mention to April as she remembered my sons pizza order everyday. Although all the staff were fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble. We did the sunset dolphin cruise which was amazing and the children enjoyed the paddle board/ kayak rental that was included in our meal plan most days. My husband and children did a discover scuba dive with on site Euro Divers. Valantina was both knowledgeable and patient and gave them all the most wonderful experience which they all loved and can’t wait to dive again. My husband lost his watch during the dive and they found it later that day which was amazing service from them! It is the staff that really make this resort. Along with the amazing food and facilities. Yes you can see Male and the planes taking off and landing however we were not bothered by this at any point! Thanks to all at Kurumba - can’t wait to go back in 2023 😍

Kids friendly. Family friendly. That is how I would describe this place. My young daughter, wife and I traveled and stayed at this property. To start off, we landed in Maldives and approached their Kiosk at the airport. From then on, it's been just like a dream. Every need of ours was taken care of. Right off the bat, I would like to thank Ms. Kavita, Azu and Shameela - the staff / babysitters at the kids club. My toddler had a whale of a time with them and the facilities that the kids club offers. Despite having met them only few minutes ago, my daughter enjoyed the company of her caretakers. One one of the days, my daughter hurt her finger pretty badly (she was with us at that time and NOT at the kids club). We immediately approached the staff at the kids club to seek assistance and they did a very good job of providing first aid to my daughter. They even called up the clinic for us and verified that it was open and informed them of our arrival. Their quick thinking helped us in a difficult time. So much was her comfort with them, that on the last day, when we dropped by to say our goodbyes to the team at the kids club, my daughter assumed she's being left off at the club to have fun and removed her shoes attempting to get in!! After much cajoling she accepted that it was her last day at the club and joined us in saying her goodbyes. Ms. Kavita, Azu and Shameela - truly an asset at the club. Families can trust them to take care of their children without hesitation. To Dr. Hend and Brother Sebastian - thank you for being patient with my screeching toddler and taking care of the injury on my toddler's finger! That you were available within the property itself was very comforting for both my wife and me and we happily enjoyed our stay knowing that if anything else were to go wrong, you would always be available. Then there's Mr. Nikko - they received us at the property and helped us with the check in formalities. And then, with a smile on their face, they showed us around the property before comfortably showing us our room and explaining the facilities. Each time they met us, they always had a positive attitude. On our last day, they even accompanied us and dropped us off to the departure gates - again with the same warmth and smile as they did when we first them. Very infectious personality and smile I must say! Cheered us up, even though we were sad we were leaving. I would like to also thank another receptionist whose name I did not make a note of, but should have. We needed dish washing liquid to wash our toddler's milk bottles and they called up housekeeping for us and I overheard her discussing with them "on how they can meet the client's needs" and proposing that we provide housekeeping with the bottles daily, who will have them washed for us. Thinking on their feet, they helped us with our dilemma. And housekeeping staff too delivered. Each time we called them up, within 5 minutes they showed up at our room, collected the bottles and had them washed for us - within 20 mins. EACH TIME. The receptionist was of eastern european descent based on their accent, if the property would like to recognize and thank them. Next up - Mr. Bais. They were my snorkeling lesson instructor. If you want to learn snorkeling without fear, he's the man! Seriously, I did not even realize I had completed the lesson and was snorkeling without any difficulty or fear - and I don't even know how to swim!! Such a good teacher! Thanks to that 20-30 mins of teaching, I snorkeled every morning, afternoon and evening on every day I was there!! Snorkeling is fun - but the way Mr. Bais taught it, I felt I was a snorkeling expert myself. Lastly (but certainly not the least), I would like to thank the service staff at the bars and restaurants. They always greeted us, knew our preferences without having to remind them each time and most important for us, made our toddler feel comfortable and played with her. In no particular order, I would like to thank Mr. Aiman (Vihamana), Afsan (Cafe), Saeed and Hassan (Bar). They made us feel special. P.S. Their bartenders and drinks are too good. Their mocktails and cocktails are out of this world! My family is still reeling from our trip - we earn to return back and soon.

We stayed at Kurumba Maldives primarily to break-up our journey back to the UK after a 12-night stay in one of the southern resort islands and we booked in the knowledge that the proximity to the airport & city would have both advantages (quick transfers and a chance to visit Male city) and disadvantages (aircraft noise). Along with hard paths rather than sand tracks, gardens rather than natural vegetation and sea walls, we expected an experience quite different to our normal choice of Maldivian resort. But from the moment we stepped on to the transfer boat at the airport we couldn't fault a thing (apart from the disappointing November weather) and we definitely enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room (deluxe Bungalow) was clean and well appointed and the dining offerings were superb - sadly our 3-night stay didn't give us opportunity to try them all. We visited Male on an excursion that was free of charge with our Dine-Around All-Inclusive package and circled a pod of dolphins on the boat transfer back the airport - a great way to finish our stay Thank you Kurumba, I'm hopeful that we'll be back one day.

Dear SL1967, Thank you for taking the time to share and we are so pleased that we were able to exceed your expectations. As you so rightly pointed out, there are some ups and downs about being so close to the airport, but we also truly believe that there are plenty more upsides to it, and we appreciate your comments.

The room was very cold and welcoming after a walk in the hot humid lush tropical vegetation to my room. Service was excellent and the staff were attentive and eager to please. This was paradise on earth. Even though I was a business trip, the beautiful resort and amazing pampering made my stay feel more like a vacation.

Outstanding hotel and resort. Excellent staff matched by the superb restaurants and location. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my birthday and they made both occasions unforgettable. The staff are highly trained and understand how to give exceptional customer service. The first time of visiting but will not be the last.

This is a beautiful resort! Our room was luxurious and the property is beautiful. The food was great. The staff was very helpful, the dive opoeration there lacked some basic gear for sale, or any gear really so I don't think they are set up for retail there. We really enjoyed our stay though and I fancy returning one day.
