Went for a relaxing holiday in early December 2011. We stayed in a water villa and had a fantastic time. Was great to have the privacy and be able to swim in the lagoon right by the villa. The ocean side is definitely best for snorkelling. The snorkelling is absolutely wonderful, made the holiday totally worth it. The resort was... More

We just spent a month in the Maldives--we stayed in 3 different island resorts and 1 week on a dive boat. Our favorite island resort was Athuruga Island Resort. The island is quaint and smaller in size but one you can walk all the way around. The natural beauty, the elegance, the comfort, and the food of the resort is... More

It is a very small island, managed by an Italian staff, with all the pro and cons of that. The island is basically divided into two sections. The beach villas and the over water villas. The second one are recommended: larger, luxury, with much more privacy and a dedicated restaurant. There is another buffet restaurant for the beach villas. The... More

We spent a week at Athuruga for our honeymoon and couldn't have been more impressed by everything about it. It was our first time in the Maldives, and we were very impressed. The Maldives are a VERY long journey for people from New York but it certainly was worth it. For any Americans reading this review and considering Athuruga, be... More
