The first thing you have to bear in mind is my review is based in a three times Maldivian stay. And that, no matter what, this is paradise. Maldives is awesome. Facilities-wise, the island is OK. There's some 45 bungalows surrounding the tiny island and some other 30 water villas artificially built beyond the island, connected thru a long walk.... More

As repeat guests we felt we were welcomed as old friends, but on reflection I think this is probably just the way they treat everybody. Our specific requests were met and from the moment you arrive you can relax. I reviewed this resort following our first visit last year and the excellent standards achieved then have been maintained. There is... More

We went to Athuruga for the last week of April and the first week of May 2013, it was our second trip to The Maldives, but first to this island. We arrived at Male at around 8:30 in the morning, passed through the airport very quickly and were soon at the MAT terminal. We only waited about 45 minutes for... More

I think more or less everything is said about the island and staying on the island. I again what to underline the perfect service. They understand themselves definitely as a team and their teamleader is the resort manager Petra, an extraordinary person who lives "her" resort. There is nothing she is not able to make happen at guests best, from... More

Our seventh visit to Athuruga, and we're already planning our eighth! Athuruga is so friendly and laid-back. The staff stay there for years, so they must like it too, and it shows in their warmth and friendliness. The sands shift around the island from one year to the next, so you may find that your favourite room no longer has... More

Athuruga is a super little island with very good All Inclusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay and didn't feel ready to leave at the end. We emailed in advance to ask for a detached beach villa not overlooking the water villas. We were allocated number 23 and can honestly say this had the worst bit of beach on... More

From the moment we arrived in the island to the moment we boarded the plane, the staff were always attending us. I would like to congratulate the management for the hospitality level they have instilled in all of their personnel. The Beach Villas are also very nice but I would definitely say that the Water Villas are the real thing.... More

The perfect mix of nature, luxury facilities without any excess, great service, excellent food and optimal privacy. Personnel is very well managed and the structure well mantained and very stylish. It's like being home even if you far from anything that is referring to your home
