We recently had the opportunity to stay at a family-run guesthouse on five different islands in the Maldives, and we can confidently say that the guesthouse we stayed at was by far the best of them all. Not only was the service and hospitality exceptional, but the island itself was a true paradise. The beautiful nature and stunning beaches were truly breathtaking. The crystal clear water and white sandy beaches were like something out of a postcard. We spent many hours exploring the island and its surroundings, taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the lush vegetation. The island is surrounded by coral reefs teeming with colorful fish and marine life, which made snorkeling a highlight of our stay. We were lucky enough to see mantas, dolphins, sharks, sting rays and many more fascinating sea creatures during our stay. The snorkeling and diving opportunities were truly exceptional, we even came close to seeing a whale shark by an hour but unfortunately missed it. But what truly made this family-run guesthouse stand out was the exceptional personal service provided by the staff. The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They were always available to help with any requests or questions we had, and they truly made us feel like valued guests. A special touch to our stay was that we were served breakfast and lunch directly on the beach (different spots) which made our experience even more special and memorable. In short, if you are looking for a Maldives vacation that offers the best of both worlds - exceptional service, beautiful island, stunning beaches, amazing marine life, and a family-run atmosphere - then this guesthouse is the perfect choice. It was hands down the best stay we had on the whole Maldives, and we cannot recommend it enough.

breakfast, dinner options were exceptional apart from the atoll restaurant buffet on the sunday evening which was v. poor

Very clean accommodation. The staff was very helpful and kind, and made sure our stay was comfortable. Recommend this hotel very much!

- The alpha & omega of this resort is the staff. So friendly, smiling and willing staff I haven't experienced yet! From the cleaning service to the restaurant staff to the reception - all of them are very helpful and you have felt that they are only for you there! A huge praise for the personal manager who is in charge of this. - You often feel like the island is just for you. Great privacy. This is perfect for INTROVERTS. - Resort was very clean including beaches. - The village walk tour outside the resort was amazing and strongly recommend to you if you want to see how the local people live! Big thank to the Zee (If I remember correctly the name) from reception for a guide.

He view, the rooms, the staff, the activities actually everything!

Perfect barefoot luxury. Fabulous balance of authentic Italian food (with Italian chefs) and local Maldivian fish. Diving was world class

Everything about the water villas

Everything is great! Best in maldives. The warm hospitality and the food.

We loved every moment in Athuruga! it was an amazing stay! The property is beautiful with white sand, the best lagoon and a very beautiful house reef with easy access from the beach. The food was amazing with 2 restaurants to choose from (buffet and a la carte). This was our 6th time in the Maldives and our favorite. What make it so special were the people that worked in the resort. They were all genuinely nice and worked very hard to make our stay wonderful. Our special thank you to the administration for the free upgrade to the water villas and to Mr. Nizam for going the extra mile to make us even more comfortable. We would like also to thank: - the water sports personnel for the free guided visits to the house reef which was a magical moment; - the water villa restaurant employees, specially Mr. Mohamed for the great service and the Chef of both restaurants for the very tasty food; - the cleaner of the water villa 6 for always taking great care of the room and always being so nice to us. We plan to return again in the future.

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Everything at the highest level. Beautiful views and a very well-kept facility. The overwater villa with sunset views and a swimming pool fulfilled all our dreams about the Maldives. We will come back!!!!
