Fantastic peaceful vacation on an island
31 Jul 2025
Increadibly amazing resort on an island. Best experience of our vacations. Beautiful big rooms, comfortable beds, nice interior. Wonderful sandy beach, emerald clear water, amazing views. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and… Show more varied, there was a lot of fruits and a large selection of drinks. It was interesting to go on a boat ride and fishing. The territory is very well maintained, we walked barefoot all the time, a lot of greenery, shady paths in the form of a tunnel in the jungle. We spent wonderful 2 weeks at the resort, the first 10 days we lived in a beach villa, and in the last 4 days as a compliment we were upgraded to the water villa with own pool. It was an incredible experience. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Especially we would like to thank Mary - front office supervisor; Mary - restaurant waitress; Akhil - restaurant waiter and Iqbal - supervisor who reacted immediately to our kind requests and we had very nice talks and explanations.Show less

We would like to thank every single member of staff at Dhigufaru island resort and also the seaplane company Manta Air for getting us from the airport to the resort itself. A boat took us from the seaplane pontoon over to the island itself… Show more where we were met by Liz, our island hostess and her team who then escorted us along the wooden jetty to the reception where she gave us her contact number should we require anything. What makes this island so special are the staff who gave an impeccable service throughout our stay and the beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise sea. The semi water villa we stayed in was everything we expected it to be with a wonderful outside bathroom that was cleaned twice a day with fresh linen, towels and beach towels. The food and all beverages were excellent with plenty of choice and excellent waiter service which was the same at the pool bar. We did visit the Spa for a full body massage that was excellent with the staff making sure you were comfortable at all times. Ocean Dimension, the dive centre helped fulfil my wife's ambition to swim with the Manta Rays, they were excellent and made sure everything was explained regarding safety in the water. They also confirmed suitable numbers of rays were there before committing to the trip and constantly checking you were ok whilst in the water. There is a doctor on site, who, as it happens was able to resolve a medical issue that arose with my wife regarding medication. We will definately visit again as this was paradiseShow less

Off-Season Maldives – The Best-Kept Secret!
31 Jul 2025
We just returned from a 5-day family trip to Dhigufaru Island. It turned out to be a perfect vacation that far beyond our expectations! From the first day of arrival, we experienced outstanding service and made us feel the true enthusiasm… Show more of the Maldives. Customized service for large family groups As a large family group, we were impressed by the hotel's thoughtful arrangements in advance. They provided adjacent beach villa and water villa to us according to our requirements, and helped us coordinate our dining and activitie schedules, and make sure everyone's needs were well taken care of. One of the most memorable moments: the entire Dhandifulhu team helped us prepare a surprise 25-person birthday celebration, and as well arranged a private beachfront dinner under the stars - a memory our family will treasure forever. We also enjoyed an amazing dolphin cruise and sunset fishing tour, with sightings of unimaginable wild dolphins that surprised everyone, from kids to grandparents! Rainy season experience is more real and warmer On the day we left the island, the weather suddenly shifted - a heavy tropical storm forced the cancellation of our scheduled seaplane, and we had to catch an international flight that evening. The reception team acted fast, rearranging us another seaplane, and helped with all the luggage, and even preparing a backup plan in case of further delays. Thanks to their efforts, we finally make our flight! Other unforgettable highlights Well-maintained villas with twice-daily drinking water refills and fast response to any issues. Incredible marine life: baby sharks, rays, and different various fishs right near the jetty; and countless hermit crabs, various birds around beach area - even more stunning than in the promo pictures. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets everyday, each sky and ocean color slightly different - nature at its most peaceful and magical. Last, "staycation": Dhigufaru offers more than just picture-perfect beaches, and the people there, made this place feel like home. If you're looking for a stess-free, deeply relaxing Maldives escape, whether as a couple, family, or group, this is the place to go. We are already planning our next trip back!Show less

BEAUTIFUL IS A SMALL WORD
31 Jul 2025
We( husband , wife and daughter)stayed in Dhigufaru island resort for 6 nights ( 3 nights beach villa + 3 nights pool water villa. We took the all inclusive plan. ARRIVAL There was a person Waiting for us at the Male airport. He took care… Show more of our luggage and even handled the seaplane tickets. Everything went on very smoothly. Then came the welcome live music and the welcome drink with cold towel upon arrival. We were checked into our villa and briefed about the resort. VILLA house keeping is very very good. They cleaned everyday and very nicely. The beach villa was very very spacious. The bathroom is amazing. The pool water villa was smaller but very well planned. Lots of space for all your belongings. Pillows at the pool water villa were very bad. STAFF everyone at the resort were so welcoming and warm. Julia , nico at the Ocean dimensions were so friendly. They helped us a lot with our snorkeling. The staff at the restaurant stole my heart. Akhil is a star. Hospitality was top notch. The chefs went out of their way as my husband is allergic to Gluten. The ladies at the spa were very warm. Rani guided us well with choices of massage. We took an extra massage ( paid) FOOD 6 nights means we ate 18 meals. Every meal was a delight. The spread was always very interesting. Especially the live counter CONS: * The desserts were not very great though. As I'm a baker myself I could tell they are using too many setting agents( gelatin) which was in the end making all the desserts taste the same. There can be improvement there. * Pasta sauces could be better. I felt canned tomatoes were being used for the pomodoro( red sauce). Which tasted very artificial. ALL INCLUSIVE * There was so much included in the all inclusive. The fishing trip was amazing and the Dolphin cruise was a master plan. They make you do all of this with so much love and interest. Food was amazing. Coffee was very very good. Lots of options CON: The selection for cocktail & mocktail were very limited. Not very good brands of alcohol were being used. I think we could have gone with half board inclusive & ordered our drinks. LOCATION the most amazing part of the resort is its location. There are dolphins, a variety of fishes , sharks, corals, reefs just around the island. Thank you team Dhigufaru for an amazing experience. Memories we will cherish forever and definitely recommend to our friends and family.Show less

Our ATOL number is T7365 and your protection begins as soon as you’re booked. If a supplier fails, you’ll get your money back, and you can’t get stranded abroad because ATOL ensures you’re brought home at no extra cost.
Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday.
