Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Niva Kurumba Maldives from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the convenient 10-15 minute speedboat transfer from Malé airport to Niva Kurumba Maldives. The resort is known for its beautiful and well-maintained island setting, often providing a refreshing welcome drink on arrival. Many appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms; some found the city view from the island less appealing and noted occasional airplane noise due to the proximity to the airport. Dining options are a highlight, especially the fresh and varied cuisine available in the main restaurant and the unique experience of the sushi-making class.
