Amazing experience even the weather was so bad. All the stuff are very kind and nice. Specially Shahdhan, the waitress of the breakfast, bar men at east bar and sunset bar. They care every single detail. We hope to come back early and be sure we recomend it to our friends.

Dhigali Maldives is the best place if you want to relax. As soon as we landed at the airport, we were met by people from the island. They had arranged the transfer by seaplane from the capital, Malé, to the island. We were greeted by smiling and friendly staff. There are several restaurants on the island, but whichever you choose, you won't regret it—the food is magnificent. The villa we stayed in is beyond description. Everything you think a beach villa should have is there, and more. I would like to give a special thanks to Madey and the whole team who made sure we didn't miss anything. Read less

We had the most incredible time at this resort, and it's all thanks to the amazing team and thoughtful amenities. Here's a quick rundown of what made our stay unforgettable: Shuttle Bus: What a convenient way to get around! The shuttle service is fantastic, and the best part is you can track its arrival right from the app. No waiting around – you just hop on when it’s close. The App: Speaking of the app, it’s a lifesaver! Everything you need is there, from menus and dinner reservations to booking activities. Super easy to use and very helpful. Food and Beverages: If we could rate this 12 out of 10, we would. The food is absolutely phenomenal, with each restaurant offering a unique concept. They even served Eggs Benedict for breakfast! A special shoutout to Kumar, the F&B manager, who went above and beyond to make our dining experiences memorable. We still find ourselves thinking about our favorite meals! The freshness and variety are simply unmatched, and you can enjoy delicious food and drinks pretty much anytime you like. The Staff: Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. A big thank you to Jayce, Bosse, Tiari, Ismail, Maneer, Jallee, and of course, Kumar, who truly made our stay special. Rooms: We stayed in both a beach villa and a water villa with a pool, and both were amazing. The water villa, in particular, offered such tranquility and privacy – perfect for unwinding. The rooms were always spotless, with room service twice a day keeping everything in tip-top shape. Dive Centre: The dive trips were incredible! We were lucky enough to see mantas and turtles, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Island: This is a small, intimate island, perfect for those looking to relax by the ocean or the beach. If you're expecting a big island with lots of exploring, this might not be it, but for us, it was ideal. We spent our days sipping drinks at the wonderful Haali Bar, soaking in the sunset views. Activities: During our stay, there wasn’t a huge variety of activities since it wasn’t the main season, but the ones we did participate in were great. There was a fantastic band from Sri Lanka that played modern music with a laid-back acoustic vibe at sunset – truly delightful. When we weren’t relaxing, we enjoyed snorkeling around the island. We’re already dreaming about our next visit and can’t wait to see all the wonderful people again. Thank you for an unforgettable stay! Read less
