Just got back after 9 nights. This was our third visit to the Maldives in four years, having been to Baros and Lily beach, and I can safely say that Athuruga is the most beautiful of the three. The island: no sea wall, you can walk all the way around, all the bungalows have a great sea view. We were... More

Our fortnight in the second half of April was our sixth visit to Athuruga, still our favourite Maldivean island. The weather was superb - only two brief showers the entire fortnight. Beach villa room good – kept neat and clean by our room boy, who decorated the bed with flower petals on our penultimate night. The main restaurant food is... More

There have been several excellent, detailed descriptions posted recently so we will try not simply to repeat what has been said. We first went to Athuruga to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in 2001. It was our first trip to the Maldives and we had done loads of research. Priorities: • Excellent snorkelling • All-inclusive • Unpretentious but comfortable resort... More

We booked our honeymoon through Kuoni and spent 5 nights in Sri Lanka before flying to Male and then catching the sea plane to Athuruga where we spent the most wonderful 9 nights. It was our first time on a sea plane and we both loved the experience, amazed at the smoothness of the take off and landing and the... More

We flew out of Manchester with our friends on the 19th April via Abu Dhabi, with Etihad. The flight transfer at Abu Dhabi was eventful. We were advised that our onward flight to Male was from terminal 3, which is about a 10/15 minute walk from terminal 1. Going through customs took over half an hour and was somewhat chaotic.... More

This is how they market Athuruga and who am I to disagree! My wife and I have just returned from 10 days at this resort and we have to say we have had the most marvellous holiday thanks to a combination of excellent facilities and services, good value, and good fortune. The good fortune relates to the weather (not a... More

I returned to Athuruga for 8 nights flying on 1st May. I flew with Qatar from Manchester and was really pleased with the service and the flight. I was upgraded to Business from Doha to Male and this was probably because of the nightmare trip in November last year when I went to Thudufushi. As I was a repeat visitor... More

Tour Operator/Flights :- My fabulous niece works for the Flight centre and did a great job as always sorting everything out for us. We booked the Island with Kuoni but we chose different flights. My neice was able to lower the commission for us which saved us quite a lot from the Kuoni web site. If you don’t have a... More

Our second visit to this small and incredibly friendly, Italian run, island. I would endorse all of the comments made by previous positive reviewers about the management, restaurant, bar and grounds staff, the food, the chef and the accommodation. We deliberately chose beach accommodation rather than water bungalows but having seen both I would say that it is simply a... More
