Awesome resort and reef

What can I say about this resort other than it is fantastic Resort Very clean and well laid out with a bus to take from us from one end to the other on a constant loop. We were there at Easter and were given a beautiful Easter egg and chocolates in our room. Sunset bar went from chillaxed in the day and then for 2 hours at sunset changed into ‘the place to be’ The whole island had a relaxed aura with beautiful beaches and waters. Accommodation We had a water villa which was lovely and well worth the extra, the mini bar added to the seclusion being able to get refreshments and snacks without leaving. You could access the reef directly from the water villa and the positioning of the water villas meant that you are not far from the island (unlike water villas on other islands which stretch out quite a way) House Reef Superb. We are avid snorkellers/divers and were amazed at the quantity and diversity of sea life, including turtles/stingray/reef sharks, as well as big shoals of every kind of fish. You can snorkel around 80% of the island all was equally good and easy to enter from the beaches. . Dive Centre Well organised, helpful and friendly. Food/dining We were on the All Inclusive package. Exceptional equality of food at all restaurants. There was something to cater to every taste and or dietary needs. Best pizzas ever outside of Italy at the pizza shack on the beach. The only negative I can say is that the resort advertises 3 a la carte restaurants (which was a major factor in booking Dhigali for us) however booking one of the a la carte restaurants was somewhat traumatic (on what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday) as bookings were done via the app which you had to access at exactly 9:30 in the morning to stand any chance of getting in to any of them and invariably they were already full or the only slots left were 9:00 at night (too late for us) this may only be a problem at peak holiday periods. Staff They were all outstanding, smiling and attentive at all times. Too many to thank, but special thanks to: The house manager who boxed up our Easter egg and took the trouble to come and find us in the restaurant to tell us had been done The Dhigali dive boat staff could not have looked after us better, the only thing we had to do was dive, they did everything else. Thank you to the cleaners at the water villas for pointing out the various fish that were between the walkway and the villas. Most of which I would have missed. Altogether a fantastic resort and and All Inclusive package, I would go back again tomorrow. Read less

Exclusive but noisy at times

Dhigali is a lovely medium size island with plenty of facilities to offer. We have stayed at its sister island Kuramathi on a number of occasions but wanted to try something a little different.

Dhigali is a lovely medium size island with plenty of facilities to offer. We have stayed at its sister island Kuramathi on a number of occasions but wanted to try something a little different. What stands out for this island is the food offering. We were on the premium all inclusive option and every restaurant offered 5* food. We wish we could have tried it all! The restaurants do get booked up very quickly which is worth noting if you’re only visiting for a short stay. The island was kept immaculate, the gardening team, which often don’t get enough credit, put a lot of work into keep paths and beaches serene. Guests wouldn’t realise that the jungle paths need constant maintenance, they kept on top of everything which we appreciated! We stayed in a water villa and had read previous reviews about noise from the bar and proximity to the jetty so therefore asked to be in the middle (which they provided for us). The room itself was spacious and well appointed with a very comfy bed. Brilliant access to the house reef. One of our biggest irritations about this room however, was the frequency of the sea planes. We were not aware that directly in front of the water villas was the landing strip for the planes and they are very, very loud. They are also landing and taking off multiple times a day. The worst was the 6am daily wake up from the sea planes, which as I stated were in relatively close proximity to the villas. It somewhat ruined the tranquillity of the villa. Having known this we would have picked a beach villa instead. Overall, the island gave an exclusive feel and we had a great stay. Read less

Shame about the reefs in the Maldives

May 14, 2025 Papanya Brit in Paris

The coral reef was a mess and the overpriced trip to sea turtles took us to a horrible reef completely destroyed. The man at the dive Centre was most unpleasant. And I did not find the manager called Christian helpful. The problem with the Maldives is always the same each island is a monopoly.

Won’t be returning

The best thing about Dhigali is the dive crew. Thank you Sajith and Franzine for some fabulous dives, and helping to create some amazing family memories. We are all still enthusing about our days with you. Also thanks to the fantastic boat crew all of whom were super professional and helpful.🤿 As for the rest of our experience: Battua and Jade great but it’s a scramble to book the a la carte restaurants on the App because the system opens at 9am each day for bookings up to 3 days in advance. Therefore everyone is waiting and the most popular times and restaurants are frequently booked up straight away..not good if you are away diving in the mornings. Buffet is pretty standard. Pizza place great. Drinks great and service good. Beach villas on the north side great. Take plenty of insect repellent…mosquitoes are a big problem. The hotel knows this as they have insect cream and hydrocortisone cream under the desk at reception. The holiday was spoilt for us by large groups of guests who took over the restaurants being loud and obnoxious, and allowing their children to run amok amongst the other guests. Also, in the evening after sunset at Hali bar, the kids would throw sand around, and shine torches in our faces. I did try to complain about this to the manager, but was simply told that it was impossible to control peoples behaviour. So basically, not his problem. Make sure to check your seaplane departure times, because the seaplane arrived and took off late resulting in my daughter missing her flight. Manta air took no responsibility for this, and she was left to sort things out herself. Read less

Myself and my husband have just returned home from the most incredible 9 days at Dhigali. It was our first visit to the Maldives so we went not knowing what to expect and a little worried we may become bored (we always like to be on the go), but we were not disappointed at all. If you want a relaxing holiday then you can have one here, but if you want days filled with things to do, you can also have that! We took advantage of the free water sports, SUP and canoeing, the dolphin tour and the glass bottom boat and we snorkelled everyday. The marine life is incredible and we were lucky enough to see turtles three times straight off our water villa. We also did the dolphin jet ski tour which was amazing, we were surrounded by dolphins within touching distance. The facilities, restaurants and all the staff are 5*, but we particularly would like to give credit to Dhonbe who serviced our room daily, Thiari who was a waitress in the Jade and Capers restaurant, and Ashfag who served us daily in the café, they really did go above and beyond. We cannot recommend Dhigali enough and would love to visit again one day Read less
