The Resort – Intimate island living in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Dhigufaru Island Resort sits within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, one of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet and home to some of the Maldives’ finest diving and snorkelling. Unlike the sprawling mega-resorts of other atolls, Dhigufaru is deliberately small and intimate – a place where staff know your name and the only crowds you’ll encounter are the schools of fish drifting beneath your villa.
The resort’s accessible house reef is one of its greatest assets. Step off the beach and enter a living underwater world teeming with reef sharks, eagle rays, sea turtles and vibrant coral formations. Your included guided snorkelling experience (with equipment provided) gives you the perfect introduction to this private aquarium, while the on-site Ocean Dimensions PADI Dive School opens the door to the Baa Atoll’s deeper wonders – including the legendary Hanifaru Bay, where manta rays gather in extraordinary numbers.
Your handpicked inclusions – All-inclusive dining, complimentary experiences and outstanding family value
Your all-inclusive meal plan covers daily buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner at Dhandifulhu Restaurant, afternoon tea at Raagudi Bar, and unlimited beverages throughout your stay. Beyond the table, set sail on a dolphin cruise, cast a line on a sunset fishing cruise, explore the house reef on a guided snorkelling excursion and let one child (aged 11 and under) stay and eat entirely free.
From the ocean-view Dhandifulhu Restaurant and beach-side Athiri Grill to the overwater Muraka Fine Dining, Thundi Pool Bar and Raagudi Bar, every craving and every mood is catered for — with a 30% discount at both Athiri Grill and Muraka Fine Dining Restaurant giving you every reason to explore.
Diving Upgrade: The Maldives is one of the world’s great diving destinations — and from Dhigufaru Island Resort, you’re perfectly placed to discover why. Select a Diving Upgrade package to plunge beneath the surface with six scuba dives guided by the onsite Ocean Dimensions Dive School, exploring some of the Indian Ocean’s most breathtaking dive sites, where manta rays glide through glassy water and coral gardens pulse with colour.
