Family friendly Hotels in Dhigurah

We recently had a wonderful vacation at the Whaleshark Beach Hotel on Dhigurah Island Maldives. For sure this is a best guesthouse in whole Dhigurah Island, which provides a full resort experience at an affordable price. The room was spacious and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The staffs in the hotel were helpful, and they helped us with everything from arranging speedboat transfers for arriving and leaving the island, and they were supportive for booking excursions. We did two days' excursion (whaleshark safari and manta snorkelling), and the professionalism and safety measures were outstanding. The staffs were quite kind, friendly and considerate. The excursions were well planned and we always felt safe and had fun snorkeling. One of the highlights was the meals prepared by the top roof restaurant in the hotel. After having the dinner at the hotel's restaurant when we arrived in the first day, we ended up with having all dinners there. They provided a variety of cuisine all around the world (pasta, pizza, Asian style fried rice, burgers, sandwiches, curries, local maldives cuisine, tacos etc.), and the food was so delicious! Thank you again Chef :) ! All in all, we had a wonderful time in the Island. Many thanks again to all the staff working in the whaleshark beach hotel! We are absolutely happy with our choice! If you’re looking for a warm, local and family vibe of the Maldives, this is the place to experience it!

We spent two dreamy weeks at Nova Resort over Christmas and New Year's. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, especially towards children, and everyone put in a lot of effort to ensure we had an amazing experience and a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration away from home. The buffet on December 24th and 31st was absolutely fantastic. Beyond that, the food is delicious and varied. The island is stunning, with sandy beaches all around, and the (beach) bungalows are very spacious and new. With our three children, we stayed in a double (family) bungalow, which was fantastic. The room service comes twice a day and is extremely friendly, thorough, and efficient. The house reef is teeming with colorful fish, sharks, and even turtles. The diving school staff provide excellent care and guidance. We hadn’t been diving in a long time and felt we were in very capable hands from the start. I went on the manta snorkeling tour by boat with my son. We were incredibly lucky and saw many mantas and even a whale shark. It was a breathtaking experience, but it really depends on luck—some didn’t see the big fish, which makes it an expensive outing for the whole family. Another matter of luck is the weather. We had great weather at the beginning but were a bit unlucky towards the end with lots of rain and wind. You should be mentally prepared for this, as you usually only see sunny pictures. It was our first vacation in the Maldives, but certainly not our last. The atmosphere of the small island, the friendliness of the staff, and the amazing underwater world absolutely won us over. Thank you to the entire Nova team for the wonderful time!

We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights. The welcome was nice and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, regularly cleaned, with towels and beach towels. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle, which is quite enough for an ordinary day. The food was delicious every day (thanks to the skilled chef), brought to the table in a really pleasant, cultured way, always with a smile and kind words (thanks to the wonderful waiter). They tried to fill the time according to our requirements, but they gave very good advice on what is worth seeing and experiencing. What was extraordinary,was the attitude and behavior towards us. I have never seen such kind, warm-hearted, peaceful people as here. Nothing upset them, they would give you everything, they were helpful as much as possible. And not only some of them, but absolutely all of them! Starting with the manager, through the cooks, waiters, cleaners, all the employees... the absolute highlight was my birthday, where they surprised me with a beautifully decorated room and an even higher level was the dinner! They baked me a cake with with candles, sang, congratulated (again, everyone), arranged the table such unbelievably way, cooked a fantastic meal (as can be seen on photos). Saying goodbye was hard and tearful for me, because these were really the most wonderful holidays in my life

We had a wonderful holiday in Dhigurah Cottage with their kind and helpful staff. We had amazing whale shark and manta trips. The sunsets and the long beach walks are amazing on the island. The furniture of the hotel is pretty new, the bed is comfortable and the air conditioning feels good after a hot walk.

This hotel on the island of Dracula, similar to a small resort, has excellent room service and is clean every day. The staff is also very enthusiastic! Due to the beauty of Dracula Island, it also adds charm to the hotel! Give our 11-year-old child an extra bed for free, great! Like praise

So what i can except that this place is exceptional! ( And i work in a resort!) So start with the cleanest room and the cleanest bathroom that i've ever had! The bed, the pillows were so confortable!

Thank you again for everything that you've done for us ! Everything was just PERFECT thanks to you. We will never forget Tides Dighurah !!! One of the best place i 've been ! Anne and Celine

I spent 3 nights at Bliss and had a lovely time. I would recommend it, as it was value for money, comfortable and was at a great location. - My experience in booking my room was pleasant, the response was prompt and efficient. All the information I needed was sent to me in advance. The hotel booked my transfer details and had someone waiting at the airport for me. - The room was lovely. Quite adequate in size. A nice bathroom and a lovely veranda. - The breakfast consisted of a granola bowl and some toast. It was adequate. The coffee was good. - The location of the hotel is wonderful, just opposite the beach. The island is lovely, with a forested side and a beautiful sandbank. - The excursions were great. I did the manta tour and the whale shark tour and was lucky to see both. The boat captain was a good spotter and so was the boat assistant. Just know that you can only go on the excursion that is booked for the day, depending on demand. You can't book an excursion as per your preferences. - The staff was friendly and accommodating. Archana was great. They also helped me make some last minute changes to my airport transfer, which was greatly appreciated. Suggestions: - The bathroom had a slight bad smell sometimes - There was an electric kettle, but no coffee/tea/sugar/milk - The guide in the excursions was diffident and uninterested in us guests. He was mostly interested in taking photos and videos for himself. He was not a good spotter either, in fact the boat captain spotted more. The guide did not even speak to us, let alone tell us about the fish and marine life (perhaps he doesn't have the knowledge?). He did not look out for us, even though the conditions were very rough on the second day. He is not a safe person to snorkel with. I suggest the hotel changes to a different guide. - The food at Hermit's is overpriced. The sandwich I had was a big disappointment. I went to a restaurant nearby for meals (called Aveli's) I think Bliss is value for money and I would recommend it. I would stay there again.
