Travelers' Choice
We invite you to a wholly new experience, one that allows you to discover the duality of Maldives natural beauty, under water, and above water. We offer you a chance like no other, one that gives you the choice, to be as busy or as quiet as you want to be. Nestled on the protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Dhigufaru meaning "a long reef", is the epitome of what you would imagine as an exotic getaway. Whether you like to kick back, relax & take in the magnificent, stunning beauty of the island and surrounding reef, or if you are looking for a more action packed, exotic adventure, we offer the perfect balance of both. You have the choice of flying directly to Dhigufaru via Seaplane, which will be approximately 40 minutes from Male' International Airport, or take the domestic schedule flight to Baa Atoll Dharavandhoo Domestic Airport, which is approximately 20 minutes plus a speedboat ride of about 30 minutes.

The moment I landed at Dhigufaru I was welcomed by Chaitanya and he was an excellent host... Very calmly he explained us everything and asked us about our flights and made sure we are not rushed into our rooms... He gave me his managers number as an SOS in case he is not accessible... But Chaitanya was always available whenever needed and ensured me and my wife had a pleasant stay at Dhigufaru... I would also like to pass my appreciation for one of the other staff in Thundi pool bar who arranged a spicy Prawns curry on 14th Jan 2023 for my wife on special request and ensured it was properly made as per the request for Lunch... Please pass my thanks and appreciation to each and everyone of your staff for doing such a fantastic job... Keep it up !!!...

The service at the airport both ways welcoming us and taking us to the seaplane checking us in was above and beyond and I wish I could remember his name... The staff on the island were all fantastic with special mentions to Ismail Cinta Amjad and Ahmed who looked after us so well... Massive bathroom, best and quietest air conditioning ever, secluded big private garden with outside furniture and 15 yards out to your own sunbeds where you will see the biggest turquoise lagoon and powder white sand that you will feel your getting a foot massage...

Our welcome host which is assigned to take care of you was DHANANJAYA, amazing professional and friendly, looking for ways to spoil you... also the hotel gave us a free wine bottle and fruits on our arrival for our honeymoon, also a nice decoration on the bed... Oh, almost forgot about this, every day at 5:30 they feed the mantas and sharks which is just amazing...

    It was a wonderful resort with a shallow sea where you can enjoy the waves and a nice coral reef located nearby. In addition to the sunset view, there are great views throughout the day, and at night you can see countless stars that cannot be seen in the northern hemisphere... The accommodation and swimming pool were kept clean and the food was good... Highly recommended for families traveling with children...

    ...What a beautiful place it is... absolutely beautiful, the people who work there are wonderful, the chef cooks amazingly delicious food, the guys from Sport Center are always ready to take you on an unforgettable experience on the water, the girls and boys in the bar and in the restaurant are always smiling and helpful... Personally, I think that everyone will find something for themselves there... You can completely relax, enjoy the silence and beautiful views, take advantage of the many water attractions, there are also some excursions... Every day there are also some small events and evening shows... we were lucky and had the opportunity to eat dinner typically on the beach for all guests... me and my husband were fascinated by this place and we loved it at first sight... we stayed in a water villa with pool and it was our happiness...

    My wife & I had a wonderful 3D2N holiday at water villa no 506 (with personal pool)... They provide free earplug but I found it insufficient to block the noise... After 40-min ride, the Seaplane dropped us at small floating dock, where a boat will transfer us to the resort jetty in less than 5min... Resort gave u early check in (very nice)... From our water villa we can jump straight into the water which is about a neck level during high tide... Personal pool has wall divider for privacy from your neighbor... Food selection is good and you will be well fed throughout your stay if u take the full board or All Inclusive package (recommended)...

    We had a magical relaxing holiday at Dhigafaru.The whole island is fine white sand, the pathways, restaurants and the bar, there really is no need for sandals or shoes... Fiden in reception was really amazing, contacting us by Whatsapp so we always had someone on hand for any bookings or problems... All the staff in the restaurants led by Haritha were friendly and obliging... The water villa was a real heaven, and the fish life around us I had never seen before... Food was international and plentiful, and the cocktails were great just needed individual tweaking... If you are looking for a really relaxing holiday, this resort is perfect...

    ...From the minute we landed in the Maldives we were waited on hand on foot. The service at the airport both ways welcoming us and taking us to the seaplane checking us in was above and beyond and I wish I could remember his name... We stayed in a Veli Beach Villa which was just perfect... Massive bathroom, best and quietest air conditioning ever, secluded big private garden with outside furniture and 15 yards out to your own sunbeds where you will see the biggest turquoise lagoon and powder white sand that you will feel your getting a foot massage... The food in the restaurant is amazing so much choice and the service is too...

    ...The island is cleaner (less rubbish at the shore compare to the islands near Male), lots of vegetation, beautiful fish, stingray, and thousands of hermit crabs. The beach villa where we stay is right on the beach with some vegetation in front of our veranda... We have all inclusive package, with limited alcoholic drinks list (but all what we like are on the list)... The 24 hours bar, the pool bar as well has different entertainment theme every night... This island is beautiful, quiet, peaceful... From the time we arrived at the airport, when we reached the island, during our stay, and when we departed was very pleasant... All of the staff are courteous, accommodating, helpful, and remember your preferences... Thank you for making our stay memorable...

Amazing variety of drinks and cocktails included in the all inclusive package, only one beer option but is pretty good... Free activities which are good, kayaking for 30 minutes, free fishing trip and snorkeling equipment which is pretty good, this is free for the all inclusive package... Our welcome host which is assigned to take care of you was DHANANJAYA, amazing professional and friendly, looking for ways to spoil you...

    ...You're greeted with a friendly native drum procession when you arrive followed by setting foot on the white powder sand that feels like warm flour spread though out the pathways & common areas making trekking around the island a joy. The rooms were immaculate with an outdoor & indoor shower... Chose the all-inclusive package for breakfast, lunch and dinner which are prepared meticulously resulting in outstanding delicious meals... The entire staff provided excellent service, particularly the dive staff who were very patient and assuring for any novice scuba diving, snorkeling and water sports... The Funa spa is highly recommended, Ms. Ayu was extremely effective in relieving the stress & exhaustion that came from 22 hours of air travel...

    ...Small Island Resort and we had booked the water villas... It was not a very crowded resort and many times we felt that we had the island to ourselves... The room was pretty spacious and bathrooms were really nice too... The water villas came with balconies that had steps to the water below... Ours was a full board all meals included trip and we were worried about vegetarian options... We tried our hand a scuba diving and fishing and the staff there are really super nice, even if you are not a swimmer and help you out... The whole body massage was expensive but pretty good... Overall a very good experience at Dhigufaru...

#DighifaruRetreat: A dreamlike stay in paradise! From the captivating atmosphere upon arrival to the meticulous details and natural beauty, this resort is a true gem. Shubham's orchestrated dining service was outstanding, with his positive attitude adding delight to every meal. Tejas also contributed significantly to the wonderful atmosphere. Special kudos to Hunais for maintaining spotless surroundings. The staff's dedication elevated my experience. Notably, the warm greetings from every staff member made me feel like family, adding a personal touch to this unforgettable escape. #HighlyRecommend

We have just returned from the warmth and charm of the Maldives. Having extensively travelled around the world over the years, we were not disappointed. Once we had experienced the seaplane adventure from Male to resort we were met by the Dhigafaru team and to the sound of Maldivian drum walking from the boat jetty to the reception where we were checked in without delay and escorted to the water villa. The room was clean and tidy with good furnishings and of course the amazing view of the Indian Ocean. We had a fantastic week where nothing was too much trouble. The location of the resort is perfect with the sunsets out of this world. We found a good choice of food in the buffet and the seafood platter which we had on the beach was exquisite. We also enjoyed the dolphin trip, sunset fishing and took advantage of the spa facilities. Superb massage. We would like to personally thank the following staff which made our Maldivian vacation 10/10; Trisha Ismail Ajay Ikoo Manic Agha Vena Nina Would thoroughly recommend this unique island and particularly due its size and very hospitable staff and amazing setting in the Indian Ocean. Thanks again Dhigafaru, you gave us amazing lasting memories. We hope to return some day…

Dear Dhigufaru Resort Team, Our stay at your resort was nothing short of magical. The hospitality we experienced was worth every penny, setting the tone for an extraordinary getaway. The accommodations, both sea-side and pool-side, provided a heavenly experience that surpassed our wildest dreams. The exceptional food left us indulging with joy, Anagha from the restaurant team was a delightful host. Mary, who hosted us during check-in, played a pivotal role in making our stay truly exceptional. Her warmth, attention to detail, and dedication were evident in every interaction. From the seamless check-in process to her constant touch throughout our stay, Mary went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. A highlight was the stunning anniversary dinner she organized, complete with room decorations that added delightful surprises to our experience. Mary's personal touch and commitment to making our stay memorable were unparalleled. Given Mary's outstanding dedication, we believe she deserves more than Given Mary's outstanding dedication, we believe she deserves more than commendation – a well-earned promotion. Her exemplary service has left a lasting impression, and we look forward to returning to Dhigufaru Resort to experience her exceptional hospitality once again. From airport pickup to drop-off, every aspect of our stay was flawlessly executed. This flawless execution is a credit to your management and the golden staff who made our time truly special. As we head back to the UK, we are eager to spread the word about this jewel in the Maldives. Rest assured, each of our friends will be encouraged to make the trip, just as we did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating unforgettable memories. Warm regards, Sharu
