Niva Kurumba Maldives

North Malé Atoll

Niva Kurumba Maldives

Niva Kurumba Maldives was the first private island resort established in the Maldives and remains one of the country’s most accessible island resorts, well suited to a broad range of travellers including families, couples, and honeymooners — with extensive facilities, a varied programme of activities, water sports, cultural experiences, and evening entertainment ensuring consistent variety throughout every stay. Niva Kurumba also features a well-established house reef that can be accessed directly from the beach, making snorkelling easy and convenient for guests of all experience levels, while 7 restaurants, 4 bars, and the Maldives’ best nightly entertainment scene round out a complete island holiday experience.

  • Dhivehi-Beys Spa Heritage — The Veli Spa is proud to be the first spa resort in the Maldives to embrace and protect traditional Dhivehi-Beys herbal medicine remedies, creating signature treatments using oils derived from local coconuts and pastes made from indigenous herbs, inspired by a traditional Maldivian medicine practitioner.
  • 24-Hour Airport Speedboat Transfer — Unlike almost every other resort in the Maldives which requires seaplane transfers operable only during daylight hours, Niva Kurumba’s 24-hour luxury speedboat service means guests can arrive at any time of day or night and reach the resort in just 10 minutes.
  • Exceptional Entertainment & Activities — The resort presents a seven-day activities programme including cocktail mixing classes, cooking classes with the Maldivian Chef, wine tasting, painting with a Maldivian artist, and evening cultural performances — making it one of the most activity-rich resorts in the Maldives.
