Before you book
Is Diamonds Athuruga suitable for children, and what's the water villa policy?
There's no dedicated named kids' club on the official site — children's services are handled generically through Guest Services, with cradles and high chairs available on request. Water Villas (both One Bedroom and Two Bedroom Pool categories) admit children 8 and under only with a signed parental or legal-guardian disclaimer.
How is the house reef, and is there a resident marine biologist?
The reef drops off directly from the island and is home to an active in-house coral nursery. A resident marine biologist runs weekly Biology Evenings, workshops (manta feeding technique, coral development, plankton studies) and a guided snorkelling excursion, alongside a weekly beach clean-up on a nearby uninhabited island — guests can also join Citizen Science data-collection sessions through the resort's Maldives Marine Lab, run in partnership with the University of Milano-Bicocca.
