- [Should I try diving](https://www.kurumba.com/should-i-try-diving): ‘Should I try scuba diving?’ is one of the big questions we get asked in the Maldives. Admittedly, it’s not the worst dilemma to be faced with in life – but let’s see if we can help answer this question for you!
- [Above & Below](https://www.kurumba.com/above-below): Sneak a peek at his official ID, and you might read Mohamed Ibrahim, but the Assistant Manager at the Euro Divers installation at the watersports centre is known to all as Momo.
- [Staying Ahead of the Game](https://www.kurumba.com/staying-ahead-of-the-game): Every quality hotel and resort around the world has them. The little sheets of paper that lie beside your bed at night saying, “Your feedback is appreciated”. But, how many times do they simply end up in the waste paper basket, or stored away on a database that never sees the light of day?
- [Local Charms](https://www.kurumba.com/local-charms): Outside of walking tours to Malé, few visitors ever leave their resorts and explore the other 1,192 islands that make up this fabulous archipelago. Those who do will experience firsthand the warmth and vibrancy of traditional Maldivian culture, which in many ways still moves to the ancient rhythms of the sun and stars.
- [Keeping Paradise Pristine](https://www.kurumba.com/keeping-paradise-pristine): Covering an area of 19.2 hectares (48 acres), Kurumba is one of the largest resort islands in the Maldives. For comparison, it’s slightly bigger than Tiananmen Square in Beijing but only a quarter of the size of Gorky Park in Moscow. New York’s massive Central Park is 18 times larger. In sports terms, you could fit 26 standard soccer fields on the island, or just over 700 tennis courts. Amazingly, this patch of paradise is usually home to about a thousand people, in addition to the two cats and numerous colourful lizards and birds that inhabit Kurumba’s vibrant tropical gardens
- [Music in the Maldives](https://www.kurumba.com/music-in-the-maldives): Throughout the Maldives, whenever there is a special event – a wedding, a successful fishing expedition, the Eid celebrations at the end of Ramadan – the distinctive cadences of Boduberu, the iconic music and dance of the Maldives, can be heard reverberating through the coconut groves of even the remotest island. But there’s much more than Boduberu on these musical isles.
- [Sustainability](https://www.kurumba.com/sustainability): Since Kurumba’s opening in 1972, we have been giving back to the local community.
- [The Jewellers of Rinbudhoo](https://www.kurumba.com/the-jewellers-of-rinbudhoo): As striking as sunset and finely fashioned as nature’s intricate coral, this island country’s jewellery epitomises the Maldives’ rich traditions of art and craft. Historically, citizens of all social statuses adorned themselves with bangles and necklaces of lacquered wood, shells or coral. Meanwhile, the sultan and his court in Malé adorned themselves with fine gold and silver jewellery that was sometimes even studded with precious stones from Ceylon and Burma.
- [Maldives Airport Transfers](https://www.kurumba.com/preparing-to-visit): Boat transfers are available from the airport to the resort for when you arrive. It would be helpful if you or your travel agent could forward the resort your flight details to ensure a smooth transfer.
- [The Maldives](https://www.kurumba.com/the-maldives): Maldives is an island country and archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It lies Southwest of India and Sri Lanka in Laccadive Sea.
- [Our Story](https://www.kurumba.com/our-story): Tourism: an industry that brought prosperity and progress to the Maldives.
- [Timeless-Tales](https://www.kurumba.com/timeless-tales): Though the Maldives has been inhabited for millennia, little is known about its ancient history. What little background information we do have about this scattering of gem-like islands can be gleaned from centuries-old myths and legends. Passed down by storytellers throughout the islands until recent times, these tales were once an important part of life in the Maldives. Unfortunately, radio, television and the Internet have all but extinguished the art of storytelling. And as the last storytellers pass on, the nation’s largely oral tradition is in danger of being lost forever.
