Dhigufaru Island Resort

This is a fairly small resort with around 85 villas. There is entertainment in the evenings on four nights and three quiet nights. This suited us as we went for the peace and tranquility of a romantic holiday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The beaches here are superb and so clean. We stayed in an overwater villa with a pool facing the sunset. It was lovely. The service here is very good, the food is quite good but not quite five star I think. There were families with kids here, but not many and it didn’t affect us as a couple. The a-la-carte restaurants are ok, but nothing special, and if we went back we wouldn’t bother trying them as it’s not really worth the extra money. These are not included in the AI package but you do get a discounted price . The pool bar is a great place to watch the sun set and it’s very chilled here. There is also a beach bar near the entrance to the overwater pool villas boardwalk which was very handy. We really liked the vibe here. It’s very relaxed and a very beautiful island. It’s not really quite 5 star in my opinion, but then the prices here are very reasonable for the Maldives, and I think it’s great value for money. We would definitely return.

It is one of the best islands in the Maldives and we visited 12 so far. The people are some of the kindest and warmest you can wish for. We were welcomed with traditional Maldivian drums that melt our heart. We had booked 14 spa treatments, 12 massages and two facials and so far we had two Balinese massages, two Thai massages and two aromatherapy massages and the facials. The ladies at the Spa are passionate about all the treatments, kind and very knowledgeable. They gave us some of the best massages so far! And a good giggle too. The island has a friendly atmosphere, there are beautiful wild birds lots of colourful fish around the reef and plenty of things to do. The island also has a lovely jewelry shop with helpful staff and there is also a doctor on duty, again, very knowledgeable and a nice person. We thoroughly recommend that if you get a chance you visit Dhigufaru Island Resort. We are thinking of coming back too. Still a few days left from this holiday and too good not to share about it!

We had a 5 night stay in a sunset over water villa and loved the experience. The rooms were spacious enough and the outlook was perfect. We frequently saw beautiful trevally, tropical fish, stingrays, black tip reef sharks and crabs outside the villa and were lucky enough to see a huge stingray while snorkelling over the house reef. We found the food was excellent; we both love curries and found plenty of selection. I also really enjoyed the Maldivian specialities like the mas huni - I’ll be trying to recreate this at home! The staff were wonderful, and we had an enjoyable balance of relaxing, socialising, swimming and snorkelling. The highlight was snorkelling with the nurse sharks - incredible. Everything was perfect for us and we have no problems recommending this to other couples.

Our 5th visit Always like getting back to our calm happy place The very best lagoon Excellent value Everywhere does really need upgrading Don’t plan for fluffy white towel luxury and service This is a well run resort but certainly not top notch We love its simple yet solid service from some lovely people Some good entertainments, activities and Spa We come back for the people and the magnificent lagoon Thank you to all our friends

Hands down if you love snorkeling, this island is a must visit! Stunning water, Coral’s, colorful fishes and beautiful beaches! Cosy rooms with everything you’d need and perfect value for money and more. Rooms and everything was hygienic and clean! Food was also good but can be improved! Our room attendant (Jihad) had left a birthday letter when we arrived, which added a personal touch that went beyond the usual service standard. While I’ve seen birthday cards prepared on behalf of the management, having the room attendant personally take the time to leave this thoughtful gesture felt unique. I would happily recommend this resort!
