Diamonds Athuruga

Jan Neužil

Our stay in the Diamonds Athuruga was absolutely perfect and exceeded all our expectations. The resort itself was amazing, beautifully located, and our water villa was flawless – offering comfort, privacy, and stunning views. There was always something to do, yet everything felt very natural and in harmony with the surroundings. The activities were well thought out and enjoyable: beach volleyball, table tennis, sunset yoga, snorkeling with sharks, kayaking and even windsurfing. The snorkeling directly at the house reef was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water, vibrant corals, and abundant marine life. The beach and the ocean were simply stunning. The food was diverse and of excellent quality, with a wide selection every day. A very special thank you goes to Nasooh, our waiter at the main restaurant, who took exceptional care of us throughout the entire week. He was always kind, attentive, and genuinely positive, and he truly made our experience unforgettable. All staff members were incredibly friendly and professional, and we felt truly welcomed and well cared for during our entire stay. We did not experience a single negative moment. The only minor downsides were the higher prices of excursions within the resort and a weaker internet connection – which, in the end, turned out to be a blessing and the perfect opportunity for a true digital detox. Overall, this trip was a dream come true. The Maldives were the perfect choice for our honeymoon, and we honestly could not have chosen a better destination. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience.

The resort itself is generally nice and the food is good. However, the reality does not fully match what is shown in the promotional photos. This is especially true for the beach bungalows — instead of a wide, sandy beach, many of them have unpleasant, smelly and moldy sandbags placed directly behind the terrace, which significantly restrict access to the water. This looks nothing like the beautiful beach presented in the photos. At first, the hotel staff were dismissive and insisted that changing the bungalow was impossible. This was clearly untrue, as we could see guests checking in and out regularly. It felt like the staff simply did not want to disturb their accommodation schedule or make the effort to rearrange it. Bungalows with sandbags should not be offered at the same price or standard as those with a proper beach. We understand that this is nature and that the resort may have limited control over coastal erosion, but such accommodations should not be priced at a premium. If you choose this bungalow type, be aware that you will most likely be assigned a similar or even worse one — some bungalows had no beach at all, only old sandbags directly in front of the terrace. In a resort of this class, such a situation should never occur — especially during a honeymoon, which unfortunately was negatively affected and partially ruined by this experience.

The most beautiful things we have ever experienced and seen. We would like to thank the entire team at Diamonds Athuruga Resort. Everything was perfect. Even if we tried, we wouldn’t find a single flaw. Our water villa was beautiful and always perfectly clean, the food in both restaurants was always fresh and excellent. The waiters and chefs were incredibly kind; we have never seen such good staff before. The island’s reefs are stunning, healthy, and full of beautiful fish, small sharks, rays, and turtles Truly a perfect place to relax.

A sweet small island. We spent here three weeks in July 2025. Why Athuruga Maldives? - a beautiful reef near the beach - warm and clean water - safe entrance to the reef - each Beach Villa has its “own” space in front of it and the most guests respect it - staff very friendly and helpful (thanks, Abdulla :) ) - unfortunately, the beach is currently washed away at some villas - food OK, we have communicated minor defects directly We would definitely like to thank the staff and recommend this island.
