Paradise is made of this! An 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.
Maldives is famous for its marine diversity and especially for its whale-sharks, which average well over 20 feet in length. 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. The boat journey makes diving trips even more enjoyable. Guests set out in dhonis, a traditional Maldivian form of boat, and an experience in itself.
The sea is never closer than in the exclusive Water Villas, standing on stilts over the lagoon. You can simply slip from your own private deck into the water.
The island is 25 minutes from Malé by seaplane and 2½ hours by boat, a short journey but one that you will never forget.

48 Junior Suites (65m²)
All the junior suites have sea view and are located on both side 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 look out both over the garden and towards the sea.
Many of the Suites have interconnecting doors with the next room and the others have a single bed that can accommodate a child under 12.
87 Water Villas (80m²)
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. The lagoon itself is clearly visible from both the bed and the bath.
Each Villa has its own luxurious bathroom with a sunken bath, and the bedroom can sleep two people, as well as a teenager.
Overall, the setting is fantastic, the décor simply stunning and the whole ambiance warm and relaxing.
45 Beach Villas (95m²)
The Beach Villas are as attractive as the Beach Pool Villas, with larger gardens but without individual swimming pools.
12 Beach Pool Villas (116 m²)
The west-facing Beach Pool Villas offers sensational views of the lagoon and sunsets.
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.
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.
There is plenty of room for a cot and there is an overall feeling of spaciousness and a sense of being part of nature.
Presidential Villa (288m²)
Diva’s Presidential Villa is the height of luxury in these exceptionally beautiful settings. Attention to detail is clear as soon as one steps into the villa, a refinement which contributes to a distinctive elegance in this grandiose setting. The glass floor in the centre of the lounge area is like a life size aquarium, provides a fantastic marine show, an exceptional viewpoint for your guests. The stage is set… the fantastic aquatic ballet can begin: at your feet there are thousands of multi-coloured fish such as yellow back fusiliers, sergeant major damselfish and other exotic species. This is natural beauty at its best... reflected in the fabrics and their regular pattern, just as the waves, as well as in the turquoise blue and orange hues. Relax in the lounge and admire the aquatic show or enjoy the serenity and luxury of the sumptuous terrace; a splendid combination of luxury wood decking and chequered granite slabs laid on the water. The infinity plunge pool merges with the lagoon and ocean… the horizon has disappeared…
