Kurumba’s restaurants boast an impressive variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Indian, and Lebanese choices. Fez lounge features a wide selection of shisha, cocktails and snacks, Athiri bar is the best spot for gorgeous sunset views and Kandu bar offers live music.

Kurumba is paradise on earth, the resort is well suited for spending your honeymoon, the food is great, the beach is perfect, the weather is nice even in this rainy season (We stayed between 20th to 25th of July). The staff is very friendly and professional, I would like to thank: 1- Ibrahim Vaajidh (Security) for becoming my newest friend, and for sharing more information about the Maldivian culture and traditions. I really enjoyed our conversations ! 2- Ibrahim Zayaan Ali (equipment) for his help in getting nice GoPro underwater videos and for his kindness! 3- Nazim (Water sports) for his excellent/thorough training on the Jet-ski and for his snorkeling tips. 4- Shiffu (Photo studio) for giving us the VIP treatment on our photo session, and for staying late to prepare our album before our departure. (The photos are amazing) 5- Uoola (Main restaurant) for taking care of us (hint: Passion fruit jam :) )

Located just a 10 minute drive away from Male International Airport, Hotel Ocean Grand offers cosy and comfortable accommodation and a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours. Free WiFi access is available throughout the property including all rooms.

The hotel is nice and clean and provides awesome transfer services from/to Male airport. Hotel representatives on the airport was waiting for us in front of domestic flights arrivals (we arrived from another Maldives’ island) and was very helpful with transfer (the same the next day with transfer to Male airport in the morning). The hotel is a smaller one, but very nice and clean. Receptionists’ team (Mr. Arjun and Fahim) helped us with early breakfast, we needed to catch early morning flight. We had an ocean view room, which was nicely clean with comfortable bed and pillows. We spent here only 1 night, as our international flight back home was early morning.

    The design is more old fashioned and room is clean & huge. The refrigerator is old but working fine. I love that my room has balcony and has access to common living room. I will definitely recommend this budget friendly but super comfortable stay.

    Amazingly warm welcome from Thomas, easy transfer from the airport, lovely Thai oasis vibe of the courtyard and restaurant, clean and spacious rooms, heavenly breakfast with fruit salad, pastries, eggs, cheese, fresh orange juice and cold meat. For dinner the Thai restaurant is truly exceptional don't miss it and the drinks are incredible, try the Sala homemade ice tea. If we ever had a stopover in Male we'd return to Sala Boutique Hotel! Oh and strong wifi!
