Dhigali Maldives

Overview

You know that dream when you've won the lottery and you're on a private island living your best life? Good isn't it? Well, we can't guarantee you'll win the lottery but we can guarantee you'll be living your best island life here.

Location

• The resort is quite literally... On the Beach. See what we did there? Well, actually it's on an island. But you'll be surrounded by sand so it gets a big old tick from us

• It's around 40 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport

Rooms

• There's a load of room types available here including; Beach Bungalows, Beach and Water Villas, Lagoon Villas and a choice of Suites

• Certain room types are available with a private pool upgrade too, if you're feeling fancy

• In every room, you'll find...

  • King-size beds

  • In-room safe

  • Minibar

  • TV

  • Tea and coffee-making facilities

  • An open-air bathroom with a rainfall shower (it's like showering in your garden but much more private... and it's warm)

  • A private outdoor area to soak up the sun

Food & Drink

• Capers - the main buffet restaurant serving up a selection of international cuisine and local favourites

• Jade All-Day Diner - a restaurant that serves light bites and late lunch in the afternoon then transforms into an amazing Asian a la carte in the evening

• Battuta Signature Restaurant - a journey through North African, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian flavours

• Faru - the place to enjoy fresh seafood and grilled meats with banging views

• Pizzeria - Delicious burgers. Jokes. The clue is in the name here (we have it on good authority they're the best on the island, too)

• Drinks are offered across the resort with East Bar providing a relaxed atmosphere and extensive drink selection, and Haali Bar being the perfect place to grab a cocktail and watch the sunset. Ideal

Sports & Entertainment

• If lounging on the sands (or by the pool, we don't judge) is you're thing then you are in for a treat here

• Three pools dotted across the island with plenty of loungers about

• Fitness centre - if you really must

• Kids' club to keep the littlest guests entertained (ages 4-12)

• Watersports centre AND a diving centre

• Full spa if you feel like being pampered

Transfers to the Maldives hotels are from Male International Airport via either domestic aircraft, seaplane, or speedboat. Luggage allowance varies depending on transfer type:

• Domestic aircraft (20kg hold luggage and 5kg hand luggage)

• Seaplane (20kg hold luggage and 5kg hand luggage)

• Speedboat (No luggage restrictions)

Immediately upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by either airport or hotel staff, who will escort you to your transfer departure point, and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding transfers and timings. Please note that other flight arrivals or sudden changes in weather might mean you need to wait up to 3 hours before boarding the transfer.

If you’re travelling via seaplane, flights can only operate between 09:00 and 15:00. If you land in Male after 15:00, or if there are any sudden weather changes, you’ll need to stay overnight in an airport hotel. Don’t worry – if this is the case then we’ll be in touch to make the arrangements. It’s also worth noting that, like most holiday transfers, seaplanes will stop at multiple resorts on the way.
