Diva Resort & Spa Island Resort Maldives

Beach Villas

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

Water Villas

The gentle, shallow waters of the lagoon lap the steps of your exclusive Villa, as you sit reading, 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 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.

Beach Pool Villas

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 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 décor is subtle and elegant, with sand and ochre colours that echo the beautiful sandy beach, just outside.

Junior Suites

All the Junior Suites look out to sea and are near to the sea on both sides, as they are located on the narrow ends of the island. 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.

Hotel & Recreational Facilities

Diva Resort & Spa gives a warm welcome to groups and incentives and the hotel is happy to discuss with group leaders in advance the kind of facilities and programme they would like to organise. As the resort does not have a conference room, incentives tend to choose the destination for team-building exercises. The resort is also popular with groups of divers.

Activities

• Water Sports
  The reef area itself is full of colourful specimens, many peculiar to the region. Guests particularly enjoy the experience of seeing the rays being fed within the lagoon.
  
  The boathouse organises trips for snorkelling over the reefs, as well as catamaran excursions. Windsurfing, rubber ring and banana rides, water-skiing, wakeboards, jet-skiing, pedal boats and kayaks are also all available. The boathouse also arranges catamaran and windsurfing lessons, given by staff trained by the VDWS, the German watersports training centre.
  
  

• Land-based Activities
  A wide variety of activities are available, including beach volley, table tennis, badminton, floodlit tennis courts, a gym, billiards, table football and games machines.
