!"#$%&'()"*&+',*(-.
Kurumba, (means coconut in local language Dhivehi), a fruit
so well engraved in the heart of the Maldivian culture also
penetrates deep into the country’s tourism industry. Its fruit
bearing palms are emblematic of this tropical haven in Maldives.
Kurumba, as we know today, is one of the pioneers of the local
tourism industry. Kurumba Village was established as the first
tourist resort in early 1970’s. Today it is a popular luxury five-star
holiday destination.
