About Kurumba Maldives
Kurumba Maldives, on Vihamanaafushi, was the country's first resort and is still one of the closest to Velana International Airport — about ten minutes by speedboat, which makes it the easiest resort for us to reach from our base. It is a larger, lively island with mature gardens, wide beaches, a mix of rooms, bungalows, and villas, and wide views across the lagoon towards Malé. Being so close to the capital, it suits short stays, family sessions, and last-minute bookings.
