Overview

Diamonds Athuruga sits on its own island in the Maldives, reached by seaplane from Malé. Accommodation is split between over-water villas, where private terraces open directly onto the lagoon and canopy beds sit above the water, and beachfront bungalows with verandas and open-air showers. Every room comes with tea and coffee-making facilities. The days are shaped by the reef and the water around it: snorkelling, fishing, canoeing and windsurfing…

    Unspoiled nature and wonderful views

    The location is truly magnificent. The waiters and generally all the Maldivian dining room, bar, and kitchen staff are always smiling, kind, and very helpful. The sea and the colors are heavenly. The Maldives are in an exceptional natural setting.. I appreciated the silence and peace of this little corner of paradise. Cleanliness could be improved. Good quality cuisine but perhaps a little monotonous; it would be nice if there were more variety of fish and meat at the grill. A special thanks to Davide and the very nice Martina. Some excursions, like the evening swim with nurse sharks, are sold at an exorbitant price.

    Wanting to return

    This is my second time at this resort and I will definitely return for a third. Considering that I usually don't like returning to places I've already seen, this already says it all and speaks to my great satisfaction with this paradise. I can't find anything I didn't like, and I'll take this opportunity to compliment the entire staff, from the guys in the restaurant, to the chefs, the housekeeper, the diving team, the water sports team, the bar staff, and the reception staff. Regarding this, even though I usually never name people, this time I want to make an exception because I had the pleasure of meeting Davide, who impressed me with his kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism, but above all, it was nice to see his joy in doing his job, and that is not always a given. Truly well done!

    Small, cozy island with very warm staff

    Anyone looking for a cozy little island is in exactly the right place here. We were welcomed very warmly by Elena. Thanks for that. Upon arrival at the main jetty, you are greeted by many staff members. Great!! Our beach bungalow was noticeably showing its age and, in our view, needs to be renovated. Does not meet the expectations for 5 stars. The food selection is manageable and changes weekly; perhaps every 2 weeks would be better. Above all, the breakfast selection is very limited, unless you love sweets. We would have liked more variety of vegetables and edible sausage here. Thanks to Moti (best pizza chef), Titu (head at the grill), Lalith and Yousuf at the pasta station, as well as Aminoul (breakfast eggs). At the grill station, there were always 3 different types of fish and additionally 1 meat dish. But it was almost always the same without variety. The same at the hot food station. More local items besides lentil dahl and 1 curry would be great. 1x weekly beach dinner with buffet - very nice. Our head waiter Mohamed quickly remembered our drink preferences. The same applies to Rohith at the main bar. The selection of bookable excursions is okay. 1x weekly free excursion to a local island. Small shop for souvenirs and clothing. In our view, this is overpriced (155 dollars for a bikini???). Great house reef, especially the reef edge provides super insights into marine life. The fact that the corals begin close to the beach, however, makes it somewhat difficult for beginners. Thanks to Hannes and his team who [guided] us through Your warmth will remain in our memories for a long time.
