The hotel has amazing staff. It is close to the bikini beach. Has a wide variety of excursions and scuba diving available, they help in everything including all transfers and communication, even with the speedboat transfer from the airport. Top floor restaurant has great food and drink options, and an amazing view. They even have umbrellas for rainy days so you do not need to pack them.

The property is nested in pristine jungle a bit further away from the busy streets and closer to the beach area. There’s a bit of construction happening outside, which does not interfere with you having a great time. The hotel is being run by a highly friendly hospitable family with all the members taking part in looking after you - they are cooking, cleaning, showing you round the island, arranging tours for you, speed boats if you want to explore other places, everyone speaks perfect English. The rooms are clean, spacious and well decorated. There is a no plastic policy in the hotel, which also makes it environmentally friendly. Tea, coffee and breakfast are available in a comfortable lobby area. You can also rent bikes (including bikes with child seats). The staff are very friendly with the kids as well, i could even sometimes leave my son with them while working, which was extremely convenient. The wifi connection allowed me to hold multiple zoom sessions. All in all, i highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to explore this beautiful welcoming island!

This was the best hotel I have had in Maldives. Finally I was so used to their facilities that the other hotels seemed quite bad to me. Everything was amazing, great bed, cleaning every day, hot shower, good breakfast, even a world electricity socket. And the diving with Go Divers was amazing too (manta’s, whale shark, turtles).

The hole place had a really nice vibe. The garden was amazing, the room was clean and well-maintained. The customer service was excellent, the owner was really helpful and kind. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every time. They also provided additional programs like snorkelling and night fishing which were amazing. There was also an option to have dinner at the accomodation. The portion was really big and the food was really tasty. All in all this accomodation is one of the best place I’ve ever stayed. Thank you chillax Thoddoo for making my vacation unforgettable!

The accommodation was spotlessly clean. It is ideally located near the bikini beach but another local beach is also nearby. Breakfast is huge and certainly caters for a variety of tastes. We also opted for Dinner there also. Again it was varied each evening and very filling. Certainly excellent value for money, beautifully cooked by Noor. The dining area is very pleasant communal area with tea & coffee freely available. There was a real team effort creating a really friendly and welcoming environment with a real effort to ensure that everything that we needed was attended to. Nothing was too much trouble from picking up & dropping off at the ferry to early ‘out of hours breakfasts. Any questions we had Noor knew the answer. A fabulous stay, I would highly recommend! Thank you.

We stayed at Aria Beach for our last week of a wedding anniversary holiday. When we arrived and told Sam, our host, that it was a wedding anniversary trip he upgraded us to the duplex apartment at no extra charge. Sam is a fabulous host and has done a great job of ensuring that the rooms are comfortable and luxurious and very well equipped. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and it's obvious that they pay much attention to detail. Sam was in the process of opening up the smoothie bar while we were there so we enjoyed many delicious fresh juices and smoothies. The hotel is right on the beach and has lovely deck chairs set up under the trees right at the ocean. The hotel has a number of lovely areas to chill from the seating in the dining area to the pool to a fabulous 'tree house' deck with bean bags. We highly recommend this accommodation!

    It's difficult to exaggerate what an absolutely amazing island this is. Our family had never been to the Maldives before and we weren't really sure what to expect, and it was better in every single way. The island is big enough to discover new things every day, even though the resort was full you could still find empty little beaches and quiet places to sit. At 2km long, you could walk the entire length and back through the forest as an afternoon stroll, the trees and plants are breathtaking. The beaches are pure white sand, the waters clear, and you can snorkel with turtles and sharks 10m from the shore. We booked 2 beach villas for our family and were so happy with our choice - even though the water villas (on stilts over the sea) are the famous pictures you see from the Maldives, we actually loved being surrounded by trees and greenery and the best beach on the island for sunbathing and swimming was 50m away. The villas were spacious, well-equipped and really comfortable. The outdoor shower was a nice touch, showering under lush forest and watching the fruit bats flying overhead was surreal! Also a veranda at the front with sunbeds was nice, so you didn't have to be at the beach if you didn't want to. As a family with 2 teenagers, there was always plenty to do and the island is of course safe enough that we could each do our own thing when we wanted and meet up afterwards! We used the dive centre (Rasdhoo Divers - amazing dive sites and VERY friendly and helpful staff, well organised and great equipment), did excursions, visited most of the bars and pool areas, enjoyed the DJ at the beach bar in the evening, used the gym, and there are watersports and tennis etc too. The a la carte restaurants are apparently exceptional, but we were really happy with our buffet restaurant, Haruge. There was always a huge variety of dishes at all 3 meals, all of a very high quality.

    Constance is a small hotel group with hotels in the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar. We have stayed at almost all of them because the service sets Constance apart from other hotels. The management takes care of all the guests' concerns. E.g. everything was perfectly organised for my birthday. A great menu in the wine cellar of the Jinn Restaurant (special thanks to the head sommelier and the chef who conjured up the menu). The bungalows are very nice, all with their own pool. Housekeeping twice a day who clean everything perfectly. The in-villa dining is perfectly organised. The food is not cheap but very good. The same applies to breakfast and the two a la carte restaurants and the buffet restaurant. Even better at Christmas and New Year's Eve with a great selection and super quality of all dishes. The wine list, whose wines you can enjoy in all restaurants, is breathtaking (over 100 pages!!). The spa is very good and staff also super friendly. A great holiday from arrival to departure. We would especially like to mention Mr Sameera Karunaratne, the Food and Beverage Manager, who checked with us every day to make sure everything was OK. My husband was not so fit for 2 days and Mr Sameera Karunaratne organised a very special meal for us in the villa. We didn't have to ask or pay anything extra for it. The same applies to a special evening with a menu on the beach because we missed the Christmas menu due to illness. Strongly recommended hotel!

    The resort was just the right size; neither too big or small. They seem to cater for couples rather than families which meant there were less people at the resort allowing the staff to be more attentive. Everyone was super friendly and the service was 5 star along with the food. We know of a few couples who visited Meeru island for their honeymoon and we did a lot of research and comparisons with Meeru but chose diamonds Thudufushi, and we have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommend this resort for couples.

    An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

    Dhigurah is a beautiful island with a long sandy beach, without sunbeds and umbrellas, the palm trees lining the island will provide you with sufficient shade. At the end of the island there is a sandbank, which can be reached by walking, cycling or scooter through the tropical forest. There are several shops with groceries, souvenirs and restaurants on the island. There is a lot of accommodation in different places on the island with quality services. The local people are smiling and friendly. There is a hospital, a police station, the Maldivian office and mosques on the island. Waste from the island is taken to the forest, where it is burned in the afternoon, we only felt the smoke from the waste when there was a strong wind. You can get to the island from the airport by speedboat, the journey takes about two hours, if you suffer from nausea, I recommend taking anti-nausea medicine, you will definitely need it when the waves are bigger. There is a coral reef around the island, you can see many colorful fish, we were lucky to see a turtle and a small shark. There are resorts on the surrounding atolls, to which seaplanes fly daily. What we didn't like on the island is the massive construction of new accommodation facilities, I'm afraid that in a short time, there will be more tourists on the island than locals and the island will lose its authenticity and beauty.

    Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

    We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

    I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling. The reef is very far out and at times the current was very strong. Prices for trips to see the whale sharks were quite expensive at 75 USD. And there were tons of other boats at the same spots - very zoo-like. Bikini beach, the only beach you can swim at in only your bathing suit is fairly shallow and windy. The better beach beside it requires you to be clothed. However, the local people are super nice and helpful.

    It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

    You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

    This resort is a nice isolated intimate island, staff is very kind and welcoming, rooms are nice, clean. tidy and spacious, well equipped and services twice a day. Food is mediocre. Activities and attractions are limited - scuba diving is great, the rest of the excursions and watersports are below average and highly priced for the what you get. Our overall conclusion is "insufficient value for money" I have rated it as 4/5 because we've enjoyed our time, but almost any spot at the Maldives is enjoyable with no much effort required from the resort
