Male City

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 :) )

He showed us all the restaurants, explaining how the all inclusive works and also gave to us his WhatsApp to talk to him anytime we need. Thank you Thaseen for helping us to have an amazing stay. The hotel is not really new, but every place is very clean and tidy. We stayed in a Water Villa Aqua Suit. Our room was incredible big, a lot of space for our bags and stuff, big room with a gorgeous view and a giant infinity pool. Our room was cleaned 2 times per day, our housekeeping Shamugel was super sweet and very attentive the details. He left clean towels every time he went there also passed every night to leave the room with the air conditioning on, nice smell and all the curtains closed. Thank you so much Shamugel. We really appreciate your hard work. The restaurants have a variety options of food, including vegan. I’m vegan and I could find so many options on each meal. The main restaurant called Aqua has a lot of options of every type of food. It’s a buffet so you can choose what you prefer to eat. It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast is always there and the view is gorgeous. A special thank you for Rita and Dilshad that was always smiling and making sure we were having a great time at the villa. Thank you for all the staff of the restaurants that work a lot to keep the guests comfortable and happy. Also thank you very much to Rathna and Ruwan the managers that received us all the time very gently and kind, making sure everything was perfect.
