Descripció de la platja
The main reason for going to the island is a beach vacation. The private island resort is called Kurumba, it is associated with coconut palms that grow here in abundance. In 1972, founding friends laid the foundation for a whole industry in lush tropical gardens and dazzling white sandy beaches.
For several decades, Kurumba has become a favorite resort thanks to its crystal clear water, protected by a house reef lagoon, exceptional service and a large selection of experiences.
Kurumba has been launched as a typical tropical village. But ordinary home comfort has undergone a complete transformation a couple of decades ago. As a result, vacationers are greeted by a world-famous resort and with all the attributes corresponding to it.
Newlyweds and senior couples, small groups and families with children come to the island. The coast is divided into two parts, in one of which VIPs settle: the president of the country with a retinue, for example, or the prime minister of a neighboring state, a famous actress. Guests settle in duplex villas with private beach or bungalows and confidential rooms.
There are no special parties and noisy discos, no one is imposing his society, rest for those who love silence and merging with nature.
The beach is very comfortable, no stones, no coral, soft sand, valued by families with children. The nearest corals are located in approximately 20 meters away, fish of different colors scurry around. Sometimes dolphins appear nearby. In the evenings, the ocean glows because of plankton, this is a captivating spectacle. The water level does not change much. The area close to the beach and pool is maintained in perfect cleanliness.
Along the beach under palm trees are loungers, bag-chairs, comfortable mattresses with pillows. There are tables also, sitting at which tourists dine and at the same time watch beautiful views.
When is the best time to go?
Maldivi-ekvatorijalna je zemlja s tropskom klimom, gdje je vrijeme uvijek toplo na + 27-30ºS. No, otoci imaju neke sezonske značajke. Od sredine aprila do kraja oktobra ovdje često pada kiša. Sušna sezona traje od novembra do aprila. U to vrijeme početno čisto more postaje potpuno prozirno, a sunce obasjava nebo 12 sati dnevno.
Važno: Velika količina planktona se sakupi u oktobru i novembru uz obalu, zbog čega okean poprima pomalo nejasnu nijansu. S druge strane - plankton osvjetljava more noću, stvarajući neopisivu sliku. U ovom trenutku obalne vode ispunjene su raževima - nevjerojatno fascinantnim stvorenjima koja ni po čemu nisu inferiorna u odnosu na delfine.
