4 stars

Famed as the first tourist resort in the Maldives, this excellent hotel has a wide range of facilities with a fantastic array of restaurants serving cuisine from across the world. With a lively natural house reef in the beautiful Indian Ocean, fantastic diving and snorkelling opportunities lie within easy reach. Even better, this resort is just a 10-minute speedboat ride from the airport or Male, so you won’t need to wait long for that first delicious cocktail on the sand.

Amazing hotel. Great staff and food. Our favourite was the beach bar with Islam. A real gentleman, attentive and made the best pina colada in be ever had!

“Heaven on earth”

Karumba is a beautiful resort only a short boat ride from Male'. The hospitality shown to us by all the staff was perfect. The white Sand beaches are indescribable. Karumba has been providing resort services for 49 years and it shows. The grounds are littered with orchids and frangipani. The food was buffet style and outstanding. Swimming in the ocean was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend booking at Karumba

“Highly recommended”

I’m thrilled to express my happiness and satisfaction with this place and its staff. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Mr. Maged Harby and Mr. Joy were always there to support and facilitate everything we needed. The food was exceptional, both in quality and cleanliness. I highly recommend this place for family trips.
