Guests visiting Maldives are often very calm. Even if you choose a semi-detached room it is less likely that you would be disturbed by your neighbours. What about a harbour with frequent boat movements? Would you be disturbed? There 6 Superior Rooms (room numbers 101 - 106) facing this harbour, remaining of the Superior Rooms are on the side and stretch of rooms go further away from harbour. But, who knows you would not end up in one of these 6 harbour-front rooms? Good news that Kurumba no longer gives these rooms for normal guests, they are used to accommodate flight crews. On the good side, Superior Rooms are very close to reception, restaurants, watersports and many other facilities. The sight of windsurfing and other watersports in the clear lagoon, just in front of your villa, may be a pleasant experience as you lay down on the beach lounger.
