The entry room category, set back in the garden rather than on the beachfront — a straightforward base for guests spending most of their time at the restaurants, bars and dive centre rather than the villa.
3 adults, or 2 adults + 1 child or infant · No private pool · Garden
The largest single category on the island at 72 units, one step up from the Superior Room with a day bed added for a third guest or child.
3 adults, or 2 adults + 2 children · No private pool · Garden
The same footprint as the Deluxe Bungalow, moved onto the beachfront — the category to ask for when direct beach access matters more than square footage.
3 adults, or 2 adults + 2 children · No private pool · Beachfront
A larger garden villa with two day beds and its own pool — enough separate sleeping space for a family of four without moving up to the Family Villa.
3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children · Private pool · Garden
A beachfront villa built around a private jacuzzi rather than a plunge pool — one of the smaller categories at just six units, so it books out early.
3 adults, or 2 adults + 2 children + 1 infant · No private pool — private jacuzzi · Beachfront
At 200 square metres, the largest single-level pool villa on the island, with ocean views to the east and lagoon views to the west and the pool set in the garden between them.
3 adults, or 2 adults + 2 children · Private pool · Ocean views to the east, lagoon views to the west, pool in the adjacent garden
A two-level villa with a sea-facing deck and its own pool — one of just four on the island, and the category we point larger families to before the Residence.
Occupancy not itemized in the factsheet — ask IMJ · Private pool · Sea-facing, two-level
The island's sole residence-tier category — 768 square metres on the beachfront with two bedrooms and two private pools, the largest stay Niva Kurumba offers.
Two bedrooms; occupancy not itemized — ask IMJ · Two private pools · Beachfront
Two interconnecting Superior Rooms, opened into one two-bedroom configuration — a practical fit for two families or a family travelling with grandparents who each want their own door.
6 adults, or 4 adults + 2 children · No private pool · Garden
Which villa category suits a honeymoon stay?
We point honeymooners to the Beach Villa (Jacuzzi) for its beachfront setting and private jacuzzi, or the Deluxe Pool Villa for its own pool and views over both the ocean and the lagoon. The Two Bedroom Kurumba Residence is the top-tier option for a group taking the island together around a wedding.
Thirty minutes on dates, occasion and which villa actually suits you: no obligation, no scripted pitch.
A few ways into the resorts, by the kind of trip you have in mind.
