Diva Resort and Spa

Paradise is made of this! A small island resort, surrounded by a crystal-clear lagoon and miles and miles of ocean in shades of blue and turquoise.

This is the place for a real break, far removed from the bustle of modern life, on a beautiful island, full of tropical greenery, surrounded by a fabulous lagoon, perfect for swimming and snorkelling and close to the Maldives’ best dive sites.

The Maldives is famous for its marine diversity and especially for its whale-sharks. The country has some of the most fabulous sites for diving in the world and luxurious Diva Resort is the ideal base for discovering it. The most beautiful sites are less than an hour from the Resort.

Accommodation

Junior Suites

All the Junior Suites look out to the sea and are near to the beach.Each Suite has a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, terrace and private garden area. The designer has used dramatic orange touches to give the Suites a warm, sunny feel, further enhanced by the use of local wood for the bedroom floors and terrace decking. Even the stylish bathrooms, with their sunken terrazzo baths, look out both over the garden and towards the sea.

Beach Pool Villas

The rooms, with their luxurious en-suite bathrooms, are pure elegance and 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 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.

Beach Villas

The Beach Villas are as attractive as the Beach Pool Villas, with larger gardens but without individual swimming pools.

Water Villas

Beautiful Maldivian wood flooring, Egyptian sheets and Pierre Frey fabrics from Paris give 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. Each Villa has its own luxurious bathroom with a sunken bath.

Restaurants and Bars

Senses – Seats: 60

The view from this restaurant is out over the swimming pool and the lagoon beyond. Guests from Water Villas can have breakfast here. Exquisitely prepared salads, grills and seafood are served at lunchtime. The room is bathed in candlelight for buffet or à la carte dining in the evening, when the best of European cuisine meets the oriental savours of Morocco, Lebanon and India. The result is really amazing!

It shares the chic atmosphere of the nearby Senses Restaurant and serves a wide range of cocktails and international wines and spirits, including of course, French champagne.

Iru

The circular Bar stands dramatically beyond the beach, its terrace jutting out over the sea. It glows with colour and is filled with light as the sun sets. As well as a tempting selection of drinks and cocktails, snacks are also available in the evening.

Veli

The Bar is next to a circular swimming pool that extends out to sea, with views of the turquoise lagoon all around. The atmosphere is laid-back and cheerful, the place to lounge around barefoot in a swimming costume and pareo during the daytime. The Bar serves Italian, French, Spanish and Japanese tapas during the daytime.

Infinity Spa

The common areas include a boutique, which includes a room for manicure and pedicure treatments, a cold pool and a whirlpool. After the common areas, guests pass into separate ladies’ and men’s sections, each containing a sauna, hammam, ice room, heated pool, a room for relaxation and outdoor showers.
