다이아몬드 아투루가 비치&워터 빌라

Diamonds Athuruga Beach & Water Villas is a 5-star all-inclusive resort by the Planhotel Group, fully renovated in 2010, located in the Ari Atoll and reachable in just 20 minutes by seaplane. The resort's most thrilling feature is its whale shark encounters — as one of the few Maldives resorts offering close-up whale shark experiences, guests have year-round opportunities to swim alongside these gentle ocean giants, an awe-inspiring experience that captivates marine life enthusiasts. The resort truly lives up to its reputation as a snorkeling paradise, earning a perfect snorkeling score of 5 out of 5. The reef encircles the entire island, with colorful tropical fish, graceful sea turtles, and manta rays as regular visitors, offering a world-class house reef snorkeling experience. The all-inclusive package covers nearly all expenses for a truly carefree vacation. With only 70 villas, the resort is small, refined, and exceptionally private. The configuration of 5 restaurants and 2 bars is remarkably generous for a resort of this size, offering diverse cuisine from seafood grills to international dishes. The outstanding house reef provides endless delight for snorkeling enthusiasts, the PADI dive center offers professional underwater adventures, and the spa delivers rejuvenating treatments. Notably, Diamonds Athuruga has accumulated over 1,600 reviews on TripAdvisor with an impressive 4.74 rating, reflecting its excellent value and service quality.
