Dhigufaru Island Resort
Few resorts anywhere in the world can claim a neighbour like Hanifaru Bay – and Dhigufaru Island Resort, set in one of the Indian Ocean’s most ecologically pristine corners, sits right on its doorstep, where manta rays and whale sharks frequent. Whether you’re a seasoned diver, a first-time snorkeller or simply here to drift between the pool and the beach with a cocktail in hand, Dhigufaru delivers it all with warmth and ease.
Your holiday rewards you from the moment you arrive as return seaplane transfers from Velana International Airport whisk you over a patchwork of turquoise atolls before delivering you straight to the island’s jetty. From there, your all-inclusive dining package begins with drinks at any bar you choose.
Days unfold at your own pace: fuel up on a buffet breakfast at Dhandifulhu Restaurant, spend the morning at Funa Spa’s salon, sauna, treatment rooms or foot therapy, before capping the evening aboard a sunset fishing cruise as playful dolphin pods join the fun in the Baa Atoll waters.
For families, this is an especially rare find: one child (aged 11 and under) stays and eats entirely free, making Dhigufaru one of the most generous family-friendly deals in the Maldives. Whether you’re treating the kids to their first glimpse of a coral reef or carving out a romantic escape for two, paradise here is simply better value.
