PIONEERS IN PARADISE

Not long ago, the Maldives were unknown: a hidden archipelago scattered across the Indian Ocean, each island a paradise of coral reefs and lush foliage. Our story began in 1972 on these very shores when we opened Kurumba, the first-ever Maldivian resort, welcoming adventurous travellers to our humble beachside huts. Over five decades later, Universal Resorts has grown to encompass eight distinguished Maldives resorts, each offering a unique and bespoke experience. While much has changed since those early days, the spirit of pioneering adventure remains at the heart of everything we do.

What We do

For over half a century, Universal Resorts has curated unforgettable Maldivian stays, elevating the experiences of discerning travellers while championing our vibrant local community.

Our transformative journeys go beyond luxury, immersing our guests in the very soul of this enchanting archipelago. With Universal Resorts, your guests will experience the Maldives as never before — a curated blend of exclusivity, authenticity and unparalleled service.
