Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & SPA

Our stay at Diamonds Thudufushi was the best vacation we have ever been on and exceeded all of our (high) expectations. GREAT HOUSE REEF: The house reef was easily accessible and right outside of our beach bungalow. After two minutes of swimming, we were surrounded by colorful parrotfish, anemone fish, reef sharks and many many more. FACILITIES AND ROOMS: Our Junior Beach Bungalow was beautiful, comfortable and always clean. We had spacious closets, a big veranda right on the beach and an amazing open air shower with palm tree tops as the view. We have heard goods things about the water villas, but can also highly recommend staying right on the beach with a beautiful sea view! STAFF: Everyone we met were friendly, happy, and eager to answer all our questions about the island and the marine life. The water sports manager (Raul) taught me how to snorkel on the first day, took us around he house reef and even tried to teach us how to free dive (all free of charge). They also offer many excursions, which we happily participated in, and the guides seemed almost as enthusiastic as us about spotting whale sharks, turtles and manta rays. Another fun experience was when we met a turtle while snorkelling around the house reef, and as the marine biologists had not seen it before, we got to name it in their database. They even sent us a certificate of the new turtle name. FOOD: The resort is all-inclusive and the buffet in the main restaurant has delicious food stations for various types of food: pastas, salads, grilled reef fish, fresh juices and eggs in the morning (and more) are cooked fresh in front of you. In addition, they have a special theme every night with special fresh dishes. Our favorite was the Maldivian night where the tables and buffet were moved outside in the island garden. WAITERS: The service was above and beyond. We had our own waiter who spotted us immediately every time we arrived in the restaurant. He always remembered our coffee and drinks preferences, and empty plates were removed almost as soon as they were put down. CHECK-OUT: The room was ready when we arrived, and the check-out was scheduled 10 minutes before our water plane was scheduled to depart (16.10). This is a hotel policy that we have never experienced at other resorts in the Maldives. This was my first trip to the Maldives and I will definitely be back at the same resort again next year. My mom has been to the Maldives 8 times before (at SixSenes, Veligandu and Olhuveli) but the stay at Diamonds Thudufushi has been her favorite trip of them all.

As we arrived on the island we were welcomed by the hotel manager and staff, they had our details to hand and booked us in straight away and took us to the restaurant for lunch and drinks. The view was breathtaking and after such a long journey we felt immediately relaxed. After lunch we were shown to our watervilla. The room was immaculate and has a huge deck with table, sofas and double sunlounger. We got changed and went straight into the water to snorkle. 10m off the deck we encountered a large hawksbill turtle and impressive coral. This set the theme for our holiday, we saw turtles every day and the reef both in the shallows and the drop off are the best we have found in the Maldives. The island is small and although occupancy was high the beach and restaurants were always very quiet. We had access to the over water restaurant which served high quality food from a small team who gave fantastic service. We also visited the buffet restaurant which also gave superb service with more casual dining. I would recommend Diamonds Thudufushi if you are looking for the ultimate Maldivian experience.

Very disappointed! Don't go to this island in March or April! During this period, there are no beaches on more than half of the island. It is very disrespectful of the management of the island to sell accommodation even though they are aware that the guests will be unspoiled! At this time of the year, the resort is sold out and there is no chance of you getting an upgrade to another villa. Choose a different resort in each case. This situation repeats itself on this island every single year and the management is not solving the situation!!!
