Late mornings, woken by the warming light. Spacious surrounds. The aroma of fresh coffee rouses your senses. A cool breeze wafts in, from your downstairs terrace or upstairs balcony. A refreshing shower in the garden bathroom. A moment of privacy, before the children rush in from the adjoining room.

The sparkling lagoon beckons. You hurry onwards. Sand between your toes. Later in the day, curled up with a good book on your private terrace. Serene. Alone. Time for yourself.

A breezy sanctuary, immersed in quiet on the North side of the island. Your own personal space to occupy. The lagoon awaits just steps away, containing its untold magic. Soak up the scenery through the shade of native trees, sipping a cool island concoction. Then plunge in. Days filled with discovery out on the reef, alive with colour.  

Come home sun-baked and happy. You wash off the salt in your spacious open shower, the balmy air on your skin. A separate bath to laze the day away. Snuggling together on lush fabrics. Oceanfront sunsets. The peace you’ve yearned for. 

Awaken to the exotic song of birds. A tropical garden surrounds you, sea breezes weave their gentle way through. Your deluxe bungalow nestled in greenery. The delight of an open-plan bathroom and oversized free-standing bath. A vitalising rinse in the garden shower, the cool texture of sand and stone underfoot. Air-dry on the outdoor daybed, pinpricks of blue through the foliage. A dip in the sparkling sea. These are the Maldives bungalows that you've always dreamed of.

Rise leisurely, tracing the high ceiling beams. A beautifully appointed bungalow on the island’s Western shore. Venture outside, a private terrace with stunning ocean panorama. Breakfast at Ocean Grill, a premium selection cooked to order. Beachside basking, day in, day out. Perfect serenity. Iconic Maldives bungalows.

Steps from your daybed onto the powdery beach. A brief swim, then showering behind glass walls. Days of revelry, followed by festivities that start with your own cocktail kit. The proud service of Kurumba’s staff a welcome presence. Sunsets at Sand Bar just a stroll away

Nestled in verdant tropical gardens. The extra space, the thoughtful touches. A host of in-room beverages from cocktail kit to premium Lavazza coffee. An à la carte breakfast at Ocean Grill. The chatter of the kids, lifting your spirits. They splash and frolic in your private  plunge pool. An open-plan courtyard with rain shower to cool off.

Reunite at one of the most vibrant Maldives family resorts. The day is for family bonding; the night, for warm remembrances. Everyone cosies up in the oversized sitting room to watch the latest hit in widescreen. The sliding door closed, the children asleep. You mix drinks at your private bar. Time for just the two of you.
