Dhigufaru Island Resort
Nestled on the protected UNESCO Biosphere reserve of Baa Atoll , Dhigufaru Island, meaning “a long reef,” is the epitome of an exotic getaway. Whether you like to kick back, relax, and 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.
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.
Sitting serenely in the majestic landscape of the Baa Atoll and it’s UNESCO protected Biosphere Reserve, Dhigufaru Island Resort is a picture-perfect Maldivian paradise. Choose between a seaplane or domestic flight & speed boat transfers to make your arrival in style.
Your modern accommodation remains on the sea or sand. However, because the beach villas at Dhigufaru Island Resort are located on the Boaku and Veligandu sides of the island you have the ability to choose whether you’re treated to a staggering sunrise or enchanting sun set every day. Meanwhile, the selection of over water villas deliver everything from unending romance to unforgettable family bases.
Once you’ve recovered from the beauty of your base, you can then start to explore the other areas of island. On your travels you’ll discover a handful of beautiful restaurants, thrilling water sports – including diving and snorkelling around the house reef, and a soothing resort spa. There’s even an engaging kids club to keep the little tykes entertained while you’re in paradise.
All of which means Dhigufaru Island Resort is a top choice for everyone seeking a restful and memorable experience in the Maldives.
- Located in the midst of a stunning UNESCO protected Biosphere Reserve
