Wonderful Xmas and New Year's Eve on this gem in the Maldives. Small island where you feel at home thanks to extraordinary people taking care of you, from restaurants/bars to sports/activities/spa, from reception/admin staff to housekeeping...they are all very friendly and welcoming. An amazing house reef surrounds the island and the water villas are just 'paradise on earth'. The food is very good and we had special events for the holidays that made the stay exceptional for adults and kids/teenagers. It was our first stay in the Maldives and we realize how fortunate we have been to land in Athuruga !
