Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa
All-inclusive diving base a short boat ride from Thudufushi Thila
About this stay
The small island of Thundufushi, in South Ari Atoll, is occupied entirely by Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa, built around one clear identity: diving, made simple by an all-inclusive rate that removes most of the daily decisions a self-organised dive trip would otherwise require. Beach villas and overwater rooms line a shoreline that stays quiet outside of meal times, with a house reef close enough for a pre-breakfast snorkel and a dive centre running regular boats out to Thudufushi Thila, the well-regarded site sharing the island's name. The pace favours early starts for divers and a slower afternoon for everyone else, with a spa and a handful of restaurants filling the gaps between water time. It suits travellers who want diving handled with minimal logistics more than those chasing an extensive activity list beyond the reef and the boats.
- All-inclusive diving-focused resort
- Close to Thudufushi Thila dive site
- House reef for snorkelling
- On-site spa and dive centre
Our take
I recommend Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa to divers who want an all-inclusive base in South Ari Atoll. It is the only resort on the small island of Thundufushi, close to the well-regarded Thudufushi Thila dive site, with a dive centre, a house reef for snorkelling and a spa, and full-board dining in one rate. Beach and water villas line a quiet shore; rated 9.2 from 84 reviews.
- ✓Book your dive package as part of the room rate before arrival, since it prices more predictably bundled than added day by day once on-site.
- ✓Use the house reef as a warm-up or rest-day snorkel rather than skipping it in favour of boat dives alone.
- ✓Confirm current kids' programme details directly with the resort if travelling with children, since facilities lean more toward diving than a dedicated club.
Why we love it
- Direct proximity to Thudufushi Thila, a genuinely well-regarded South Ari Atoll dive site, reachable by a short boat ride rather than a long crossing.
- An all-inclusive rate that bundles diving, meals and most activities into one predictable price.
- A house reef close enough for a boat-free snorkel between scheduled dives.
- A small, easy-to-navigate island with short walks between the beach, restaurants and spa.
