180 bungalows and villas lie tucked along the beachfront, in the trees, or snaking over the water. Staying away from the traditional thatched roofs synonymous with the Maldives, Dhigali is all white, modern architecture with crisp, clean interiors that both feel youthful, and meet the hotel’s sustainability goals, requiring less energy to cool. For the adventurous types, you can drop the little ones at the Kids Club and hit the beach. From jet skis to parasailing, snorkelling to PADI-certified scuba diving, there are endless ways to experience these beautiful open waters.
If you’re lucky, you may even spot dolphins on one of the hotel’s regular cruises, or a squadron of manta rays as you plumb the wonders of the reef. Families have an array of restaurants to choose from, while honeymooners can treat themselves to a private dining experience. Discover local seafood cooked to perfection with Maldivian spices, or find comfort food from a selection of Western favourites. Both families and couples are welcome here, and you’ll find plenty on the menu whether you wish to switch off in a quiet corner or explore all that this island has to offer.

- Guests love the dolphin cruise and frequently commend the knowledge and warmth of the guides
- The hotel offers 5-star PADI scuba diving experiences, and the island boasts nearly year-round opportunities to see manta rays at an array of dive sites

There are relatively few dining options compared to other islands and their restaurants can sometimes fill up quickly, so make sure to reserve a table on the hotel’s app
The games area is slightly lacking, though if you love billiards and table tennis, you could still be busy for hours
The resort is slightly more geared more towards families than other retreats, which can sometimes make it a little noisy
The water villas run parallel to the seaplane’s landing strip, and flights sometimes take off early, so just keep this in mind if you like to sleep in
