I found the island of a perfect shape and size, well cared for, Gilbert & Mr Frederic managed very well. We were greeted by Glenn, a very cheerful, nice and very helpful on all fronts. Room always clean, if something was missing it was enough to point it out to the room boy or Glenn and everything was fixed. Reef around the island very populated, easy to reach, The gardeners are always at work to clean several times a day. Service at the bar excellent, all the staff are really nice and friendly. The waiters remember what guests usually order, very good. Note on the restaurant: excellent, fresh and varied food. Chefs personally prepared meals for us during our stay, a 5 star service which really made us relax. The grill with variety of meat and fish, the pasta dishes are also excellent. The breakfast. All. The dinner on the beach for the Maldivian evening and the cocktail party are also beautiful. Soft evening entertainment very welcome. We had a great time with all the staff, who are always been super kind and caring. An excellent business card for the resort. Needless to say we'll be back Read Less

I can talk only in superlativus about this place. As soon as we arrived to the airport we met with a representative person and he guided us immediately to the Seaplane terminal. It took appr. 25 minutes to arrive to the Resort. We booked the Diamonds Athuruga Resort, All the Athuruga staff made our stay wonderful, They was absolutely helpful, always on time and very understanding with any requests. Our one-week stay was so nice, we felt sorry when we had to leave the Island. The house reef is extraordinary we wento to snorkeling every day. We even saw three turtles ans sharks. The staff were fantastic! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was perfect! Thank you to every single staff person who made our time lovely! Hope to visit again this incredible place soon. Read Less

Our stay in Athuruga was absolutely amazing. We've stayed 3 nights in a beach villa and 5 in a water villa to experience both and this is something that I recommend. The water villas are a dream just like you see in those background pictures, where you have stairs directly to the water. The main difference between these rooms is that the water villa includes wi-fi and a second restaurant (water villa restaurant) but is also more expensive. Apart from these differences, both rooms are amazing and super clean - the staff cleans the rooms twice per day so everything is always pristine. The bathroom in the beach villa is wideopen which gives a lovely touch. On the marine life experience, we investigated a lot before booking this option and I can tell you that it was even better that we hope for. It locates in the south part of the ari atoll and it incredibly reach on biodiversity. You get to snorkel on the house reef and can do it by yourself or with the staff (they have group snorkeling twice a day) and it's amazing. The best experience of my life. We were able to see turles every day, thousands of different fishes, morays, eagle rays and sharks!! (black tip reef shark - a lot!; nurse sharks and one white tip reef shark). Besides these, you can spot baby black tip sharks near the shore swimming near you (completely harmless) and they are just the cutest. If you want to see marine life at its best just choose Athuruga!! And finally, I would like to thank the excellent professionals that work at Athuruga: they are always nice, kind and funny, and they made these experience the best. (Please forgive me if I forget someone of mispronounce) - Thank you to Nishan, Iju and Paulina from the waterports! You were all amazing! From the restaurant, bar and reception: thank you Anaz, Sabarish, Nizam, Ahmed, Zayan and Ameen. I hope you win employee of the month. If I ever go back to the Maldives, I'll be back to Athuruga.
