Location
Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa is located in a magical and idyllic antidote. The beautiful island with breathtaking views offers the perfect location for those who want a quiet and peaceful vacation. The house reef is amazing and the beachfront area is very good. The resort is located 25 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport, which is an experience of itself. The seaplane ride gives a view on the beautiful island. The location of the resort is ideal, as it is located in a paradise and the small island is perfect for couples who only need each other. The walk around the island takes only 15 minutes and is a must-do. The guests loved the chilled and beautiful island and described it as Isola meravigliosa. However, some guests found the transfers inadmissible. Overall, the guests enjoyed the location and the stunning views and would recommend staying at Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa.
Breakfast
The breakfast at Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa seems to be a hit with guests! From fresh juices to themed nights, the breakfast options are varied and delicious. Guests can even enjoy breakfast in their water villa through the room service option. Covid restrictions may have limited the buffet, but the chefs go above and beyond to accommodate guests and ensure the food is of excellent quality. An à la carte breakfast is also included. The menu changes daily, featuring a different 4-course meal every day and there are options for vegetarians and vegans. Guests rave about the live grilling station and the homemade mousse. The buffet offers a variety of options, from fresh fish to local and European dishes. Guests warn that the same breakfast is served every day for 6 days, but overall, the breakfast is varied, succulent and fantastic. The only complaints seem to come from a lack of variety for some guests and language barriers for others.
Dinner
If you're looking for a resort with amazing dining options, Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa should definitely be on your radar! Guests enjoyed themed nights with varied and delicate cuisine and raved about the delicious food with excellent quality. The water villa restaurant served a different 4-course menu every meal, which was a wonderful experience with great presentation. The à la carte restaurant over the water also impressed with its varied and delicious offerings and breakfast and dinner were included. Guests loved the amazing fish selection, the freshly prepared dishes and the large selection of salads and fresh fruit. There were options for vegetarian and partially vegan diets and even Italian food was prepared on the spot! The only downside was the lack of seafood and some guests found the desserts a bit lacking. Despite the relatively expensive additional restaurant for water villa residents, it wasn't worth the extra cost as the food was largely the same as at the buffet restaurant. While some guests had the same dinner for six days, the overall dining experience was definitely worth it.
