Thila’s cuisine is contemporary and features Maldivian grills. Daily Premium breakfast is served in Thila for guests residing in the higher room categories.

The stunning overwater gazebo that houses the Hamakaze Japanese restaurant now carries a wider range of Japanese cuisine ranging from teppanyaki to your favourite selection of sushi and sashimi. A must try on your next visit.

New ice-cream selections, Teppanyaki ice-cream

To cool yourself off after a day of activities, come on down to Kandu Bar and give its new ice-cream selections a try. Enjoy these ice cream ranges with delightful toppings that come with them. It would definitely be the coolest way to spend your time at Kurumba!

The word “teppanyaki” is not only about grilled meats. If you have not heard or seen ice-cream being “stir-fried” on an ice pan, try any of the new rolled ice-creams the next time you visit Hamakaze. A complete new way of preparing ice-cream with absolute entertainment.

Cake Corner at Kandu Bar

If you have a sweet tooth or are feeling the munchies whilst having a drink or two at Kandu Bar, try the selection of cakes at the little Cake Corner. Selection ranges from Boedalous Pear Tart, Eclair Strawberry Open Face, Passion Dome Cake and Chocolate Orange Cake — one or more of which would definitely capture your fancy.

Kurumba, the very first resort in the Maldives, is set on a tropical island in the North Male Atoll, conveniently located a brief 10-minute speedboat ride away from the main airport.
