Maldives, and the first to open in the country in 1972. The resort
was completely rebuilt in 2003, and offers state-of-the-art scuba

fishing, parasailing and windsurfing.
The accommodation in Kurumba is private and secluded, consisting
of luxury bungalows scattered throughout the 48-acre circular
island, connected by shaded paths. The island is quiet with little
in the way of nightlife, although there are seven excellent
restaurants serving everything from French and Italian cuisine to
Japanese, Indian and Lebanese.
