A small island in South Ari Atoll with Italian style, a house reef close to the beach and a resident marine biologist.
Diamonds Athuruga is a small, green island in South Ari Atoll, about 20 minutes by seaplane from the airport, run by the Planhotel group from Lugano. The German tour operator DERTOUR also sells it under its ananea label, as ananea Diamonds Athuruga. The look is white and Italian-inspired, and the resort is best known for its all-inclusive plan.
Rooms run from Beach Front Villas and Lagoon Villas (45 m²) to Beach Front Junior Suites with a separate living room (70 m²) and Water Villas over the lagoon (150 m²); two-bedroom Water Villas with a jacuzzi sit at the end of the jetty.
There's an international buffet, a teppanyaki, the overwater Thari restaurant, a Maldivian restaurant and a beach grill for seafood, plus two bars. Serena Spa, an IDive PADI centre, a resident marine biologist and a coral conservation project round it out.
Good to know
It's small and quiet, with no kids' club, and the beach rooms are modest in size. Children under eight can stay in the water villas only if parents sign a disclaimer.
