Kurumba Maldives has unveiled a new shisha lounge.
The lounge, aptly named Fez, was opened on Sunday by Mohamed ‘MU Maniku’ Umar Maniku, Chairman of parent company Universal Enterprises and one of the pioneers of tourism in the Maldives.
According to Kurumba, the new shisha lounge features Arabic colours and an elegant design, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the sweet smells of a wide selection of flavoured shisha and mezze. Guests can also taste exquisite cocktails that invoke a sense of exploration and discovery, it said.
Kurumba Maldives, the first resort in the Maldives, has emerged as a grand resort of distinctive style and panache after a complete reconstruction. Located a 10-minute speedboat ride away from the main Velana International Airport, Kurumba’s lovingly nurtured tropical gardens include an orchid nursery. Shaded paths lead from one side of this 30-acre circular island to the other, while intimate white beaches are protected by eco-breakwaters of weathered coral.
With 180 bungalows and villas dotted throughout the island within verdant foliage only a pace or two from the beach, Kurumba offers a wide range of luxurious accommodation. The villas and rooms have wooden floors and are elegantly furnished with solid timbre furniture.
In addition to the newly opened King Thai restaurant, the resort boasts seven restaurants and five bars featuring an impressive variety of cuisines, including Italian, Japanese, Indian and Lebanese choices.
Offering a wide range of treatments, Veli Spa proposes the traditional Dhivehi Beys treatments, as well as both modern and traditional treatments. This complements the resort’s recreational offerings such as its two outdoor freshwater pools, three tennis courts and the fitness centre.
