I felt that our stay at Simna’s place would be great even before leaving our home. I didn’t communicate with Simna but her husband Shabyr contacted me before we departed to ensure we had everything arranged before getting to the Maldives. We arrived early on a Friday morning and Shabyrs man was at the airport to greet us. He collected our baggage, bought us ferry tickets to Male and got us onto the ferry. Due to the season (it was Ramadan) our early morning speedboat to the island was cancelled. The next one was late in the afternoon. Shabyr arranged 2 rooms in Male for us to rest while waiting for the next speedboat and had his staff look after us while we waited. Once we arrived at Bodufolhudhoo Islsnd, Shabyrs staff met us again and took us to the hotel. The hotel itself is simple, pretty and clean with everything required for a comfortable stay. It’s in the centre of the village so there is ample opportunity to mix with the locals. Monil was our chef and coffee master, Kawser was our housekeeper and Mohamed was our tour guide. These 3 men were absolutely awesome - friendly and always willing to help. The island itself is not large - it can be walked around in about 10mins but it has a great private bikini beach, 2-3 inexpensive restaurants to choose from, convenience stores that sell snacks, drinks and personal hygiene prices if you require that. The reefs around the island are amazing and filled with sea life. I would recommend asking Shabyr about the daily meal package. That worked out very well as there was no need to worry about drinks and food - we just told Monil what we felt like eating and he would cook it fresh. I would highly recommend seeing the Maldives this way. It was inexpensive and we got the chance to meet and learn about local life and people. Shabyr and his team get a high 5 👍🏻

Sajjad respondió amablemente en todo momento, nos facilitó los datos del alojamiento, también organizó el traslado de ida y vuelta en lancha rápida. El Resort Diamonds Athuruga es un paraíso, la playa limpia, con su agua cristalina. La water villa que es lo que reservamos era amplia, cómoda, mágica y súper limpia. Además reponían el minibar y hacían 2 limpiezas diarias. La zona es tranquila ideal para relajarse, desconectar del planeta y conectar con tu pareja. De puede hacer snorkel 🤿, salir en kayak, y pádel surf. En el restaurante Ali nuestro amable camarero fue encantador en toda la estancia. También hay noches con cena en la playa. Otra opción que dan es pedir el desayuno y desayunar en tu water Vila… eso es lo más maravilloso que experimentamos. Destacar también a Ajin el chico que nos llevaba y traía con el cochecito hasta la villa en el agua, súper amable y simpático Sajjad es un anfitrión MUY RECOMENDABLE, siempre pendiente que tu estancia sea perfecta. Muchas gracias

My stay here was lovely. Located just a few steps from the beach. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and gave me guidance on how to get to the island via speedboat. The place was very clean and appropriately priced. The breakfast right at the hotel was nice too. Thanks!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, geräumig und befindet sich in der direkten Nähe des Bikini-Strandes. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker, das Zimmer war immer PERFEKT geputzt. Es war immer sehr leise, man hört die Nachbarn überhaupt nicht. Das Zimmer hat einen kleinen Kühlschrank und die Dusche ist nicht überdacht, ein richtiges Highlight. Man kann abends beim Duschen den Sternenhimmel sehen :) DANKE! einfach nur top!
