Dhigali Maldives - A Premium All-Inclusive Resort

We booked total 5D4N here in Dhigali (2N in Beach Bungalow and 2N in Water Villa). I would say the entire stay experience was so great, relaxed and enjoyed to the fullest. We came here with Seaplane arranged by the resort, and we were welcomed with a team of people standing by the jetty, so warmth and delighted. Hardoum was the one that assigned to do the check-in process, must give her a kudos as her service is tip top and everything are well explained. She even patiently took out a board with the resort map and explain each agenda carefully as this private island is huge (packed with 4 restaurants and 2 bars even, on top of the resort rooms!). The resort is tech friendly where guests are required to download Dhigali App for any restaurant, water sport, spa reservation, also to track buggy location to pick us up anywhere. Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+++

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 ***** 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.

From arriving on the seaplane all the way through the holiday the staff really care. The beach villas are wonderful- we chose to upgrade to over the water for the last part and just WOW what an amazing experience and end to a very special holiday The spa is a must the ladies there are just brilliant Diving - husband said it was brilliant and well organised Dolphin trip - A MUST Restaurants great even the buffet one, and the staff there just wonderful Thank you Dhigali

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.
