My husband and I came for our honeymoon. We had a overwater villa with a pool. It was so relaxing and we had beautiful weather all week. You can consider of “foodies” because we love to try different cuisines and foods. Every night we ordered different dishes for all meals (starter, main course, and sometimes dessert if we weren’t too full). We took great advantage of the to-go pizzeria that was near our villa. Haali was a great bar to watch the sunset. There was a DJ and/or Saxophone player depending on the night and they were amazing. There was also a movie on the beach one night, everyone received popcorn and it was so yummy! I am a gluten-free eater and the resort as a whole was SO accommodating. Very allergen friendly restaurants, meals, etc. Our cleaner for the week, Mehedi, was truly amazing. He made sure we had everything every single day, twice a day. Read less

There is so much to say about Dhigali Maldives, it is truly the most beautiful island with so much to explore. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with direct access to the beach where you can lounge and snorkel. We visited during a quieter season so had no problem booking the restaurants, activities or excursions via the app. Even if it was busy, all it takes is a bit of pre-planning to ensure you secure the spaces you want. The buggy service was also really helpful, although you can walk from one side of the island to the other in less than 20 mins whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery and wildlife. The premium all inclusive package was truly that, so many options that there’s no need to spend a penny while you’re there. Food was incredible with lots of options for vegetarians (additional options were available upon request). Anything of an extra charge was clearly stated. The level of customer service was like no other, all staff were so attentive and friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Shout out to Naseem for the fun game of beach volleyball, and Sri for the dreamy yoga session & Gua Sha class! Highlights of the trip were the dolphin cruise (we managed to see them although it’s not guaranteed!) sunset cruise, and the sunset saxophone night at Haali Bar. All in all, we had a perfect stay from start to finish, and we dream of going back to Dhigali Maldives one day soon. Read less
