We an incredible stay at this stunning resort! Everything exceeded our expectations. One of the highlights was the exceptional service—especially from Afsan Ali, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed . Even though a high-profile world leader happened to be staying at the resort the same time we were, the staff was attentive and still made us feel just as valued and important! The location was just a short boat ride from the airport. The waters were absolutely breathtaking, full of vibrant sea life—perfect for snorkeling. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The kids club was another highlight. One of my daughters participated in a fun cooking class, while the other enjoyed a painting session—both were thoroughly cared for by the wonderful staff. Firdhaus, the resort photographer, was incredibly patient and kind. He stayed with us until we got every shot we wanted and truly made the experience enjoyable. This resort is a true gem—luxurious, family-friendly, and genuinely welcoming. We’re so grateful for the memories made and can’t wait to return! Read less

We actually visited May 2024 (so sorry it has taken me so long to review!) for our 10th wedding anniversary. We first visited Kurumba back in 2014 for our honeymoon - and being back did not disappoint - it was even better! One of my favourite places in the world and I would never hesitate to stay here. The speed boat transfer is perfect, short after a long journey from the UK and that arrival seeing the island <3 Cold water and towels to refresh yourselves. Then the welcome that never disappoints - you feel like the only guests - the coconut ice cream is amazing! The staff are friendly, welcoming, get to know you - you feel sad leaving. Nothing is too much trouble but it’s also wonderful chatting to them and learning about their families and lives. We had a pool room which was fabulous - we’d have a swim first thing before breakfast or late at night, was a lovely luxury. I often enjoyed a coffee first thing on the front deck overlooking the beach. In the room, everything is thought of and lovely bathroom amenities. Sunbeds - this is a bug bear of mine on holiday. I cannot be doing with the sunbed wars and 6am towel dash, I have better things to do. I LOVE the fact that Kurumba have always had 2 allocated sunbeds on the beach for each room. Takes away the sunbed war stress you see in so many other places around the world! We did dine around all inclusive so could eat anywhere for lunch and dinner and always had breakfast in Thila - 100% recommend as such a luxe way to start every morning. We are in all the restaurants and every one was superb. Delicious food and wine. The Japanese/teppanyaki restaurant and Thila weren’t there in 2014 and these are fabulous additions - we ate most at these - overlooking the sea was beautiful. Nice location by the pool for drinks and food. We loved a sunset drink at the beach bar the other side of the island. The only shame was the newer beach bar wasn’t open whilst we were there and it was right by our room. The pool is lovely and makes a change from beach some days. Used kids club a couple of times - it was looking tired but the works were happening while we were there on a whole kids club complex which looked amazing. There was a brilliant outdoor splash park and playground too. Lots of kids amenities. The main bar overlooking the sea was as gorgeous as we remembered - our 2 year old loved seeing the planes taking off and landing and it didn’t bother us at all but appreciate it might some others who want complete silence. Great cocktails and entertainment in the evenings and staff wonderful. We did the glass bottom boat which was fabulous and the sunset dolphin cruise - that was incredible and one of our favourite parts of our trip. Our kids (and us) loved seeing so many dolphins - we hit a lucky day, perfect weather and conditions. The sea was like a bath and so clear. Exactly what you think of the Maldives. Sea life we saw turtles, reef sharks, stingrays, so many fish! Feel so lucky that our kids (and us) could have all these amazing experiences, learning about the culture and beauty. Beautiful island, bliss, such a special place. We will be back! Read less

We had a wonderful holiday, really the best from reception to departure. It’s a very beautiful resort with staff that were attentive to detail and were incredibly kind. Our bungalow was charming! We really enjoyed the excursions we went on and thanks to Saif my daughter had a great time on the Shark Snorkling excursion he is an angel. Every night there is a party hosted by a band or DJ, and special mention to Adil, a singer with an awesome voice who sang in several languages, it was incredible. The spa was very relaxing and a big thanks to Rina with her magical touch she literally spoiled me. The resort is also very kids friendly with a kids club with different activities. Thank you to all the staff thanks to you we had the best vacation. Read less
