Diva Resort

Dhidhoofinolhu

It is a masterpiece, combining the natural beauty of Maldives and a tropical outdoor style of life, close to nature, with refined luxury and elegance.

Just a short 25 minute seaplane transfer away, step out onto an island resort, surrounded by a crystal-clear lagoon and miles and miles of ocean in shades of blue and turquoise.

Fabulously designed and decorated with a flair of contemporary blended elegantly with traditional Maldivian touches each room type offers space, intimacy and luxury. The Junior Suites designed with dramatic orange touches give the suites a warm, sunny feel, further enhanced by the use of local wood for the bedroom floors and terrace decking. Each suite has ocean views and a private garden area.

The Beach Villa’s and Beach Pool Villa’s are identical in décor however the Beach Villa’s have a larger garden area but no swimming pool. The sunsets from the west-facing Beach Pool Villas are sensational – and there is a view of the lagoon and sunset even from the bed itself.

The extensive use of local wood for the floors and fittings, as well as the Pierre Frey fabrics from Paris, give an added warmth. The décor is subtle and elegant, with sand and ochre colours that echo the beautiful sandy beach, just outside. The individual terrace is more like extended living space, with its wooden decking and a settee for reading, lounging or simply gazing at the lagoon. There is also a table, large enough for meals or for use as a writing desk. Each Villa has a private garden on its far side, featuring a sunken swimming pool with a wooden deck surround, 2 sunloungers and an outdoor shower.

Surrounded by the gentle, shallow waters of the lagoon the Water Villa’s are perfect for sitting, sunbathing or taking an outdoor shower in complete privacy, or simply gazing at the wonderful expanse of sea or the neighbouring islands from your own private terrace. Beautiful Maldivian wood flooring, Egyptian cotton sheets and Pierre Frey fabrics from Paris give the bedrooms a warm and luxurious feel. The décor has been inspired by the lagoon, with touches of turquoise and shades of beige and ochre, offset by motifs of sea life that bring the ocean setting dramatically to life. The lagoon itself is clearly visible from both the bed and the bath.

Gastronomic dining at Diva Maldives features three styles of cuisine. There is the Oriental style, taking its inspiration from Lebanese, North African, Indian and Indian Ocean island cuisines. The second style is “Italian” whereas the third style is “Asian”, featuring Cambodian, Thai, Malaysian, and other dishes. Throughout the resort, guests discover the island and the country they are in, while enjoying cuisines from all around the world. The resort's flagship is its gastronomic Japanese restaurant.

The country has some of the most fabulous sites for diving in the world and luxurious Diva is the ideal base. The most beautiful sites are less than an hour from the resort and the boat journey makes diving trips even more enjoyable. You set out in dhonis, a traditional Maldivian form of boat, and an experience in itself. For those who wish to keep closer to shore, there is a host of activities from which to choose from, which will excite, relax and create memories inspired by Mother Earth’s little piece of paradise.

We have had some brilliant feed back on this lodge but as yet this property has yet to be reviewed by Ultimate Hideaways.
