Kurumba Maldives has celebrated International Women’s Day this year with joy, laughter, unity and as a day of appreciation for all the ladies at the resort.

Called it “a balanced day”, women at Kurumba were given the opportunity to spend the day away from their daily routine and distractions, and fully enjoy their time together with activities and special treats.

Nothing was better than getting the day started with an outdoor yoga and meditation class – an energising way to set everyone up for a productive day. Later in the morning, the island’s sports ground was packed with excitement for the ‘Mini Olympics’ with lots of fun games like hoola hoop, sack race, running with lemon, etc.

Watching MasterChef shows on TV would bring you the thrill of an intense competition, but have you ever thought of participating in or watching a live one? At Kurumba’s BBQ Master Chef special edition this year with all female participants, the competition turned to be a real and fun show, full of passion and joy.

One of the highlights of the day was a special lunch treat from the management team for all women. With specially prepared delicious food, this get-together lunch brought everyone closer together.

The day continued to be not less exciting in the afternoon with a tree planting activity and a sunset dolphin cruise trip. Finally, the day concluded with a game show at the main bar.

Started in 1911, International Women’s Day has become one of the biggest events dedicated to women around the world. This year, the event marked the beginning of the campaign, “Balance for better” with an aim to celebrate women’s achievements and strike for gender balance.

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.
