Dhigali is a beautiful resort, however, they are understaffed for the level of service they allege to provide. We found ourselves often waiting 30 minutes for service on the East Beach or the Bar. The staff want to provide five star service but there are simply not enough people to run this resort at a five star level.

My husband and I spent 8 nights at Dhigali and we can't say enough good things about it. The Premium All-inclusive plan is truly all-inclusive. From having bottles of wine nightly at dinner (probably over 100 to choose from) to large, diverse menus in the restaurants. We wanted for nothing. Drinks were amazing. The island is beautiful with a great house reef.

It was our first time in The Maldives and I'm already planning a return trip.

Brilliant

Fantastic location, decor and design; in particular the bar. Would love to return one day.

My only (serious) quibble was with the arrangement of seaplane transfers. We were staying elsewhere for 4 nights and at Dhigali for 4. We were given about 10 hours' notice of our flight times, overnight (i.e. we were notified at 8pm that we would be departing for our flight at 6.45am). This was terrible scheduling with a six month old baby - we were not yet packed and the baby was now asleep - but we couldn't get the flights changed because the airline office apparently closes within minutes of setting the next day's schedule.

In retrospect, the resorts knew we had a small baby and could have done something about this - either by booking us on a later flight in the first place, or simply by warning us that seaplanes are often scheduled for extremely early in the morning at very late notice, so that we knew to pack well in advance. We were booked onto the early flight by default because we were already in the Maldives (whereas other passengers would arrive later in the day on international flights) so, again, our scheduling was foreseeable for expert resorts to whom this is an obvious risk - while not necessarily being obvious to first time visitors. In the end we got only 3 hours sleep, trying to pack around a sleeping baby.

The good news for Dhigali is that it is our only criticism of our whole experience, and it is very easy to address - so I do hope they do that.

very new, good design and fun experience

the hotel was put into use around 2014 so the facility is quite new. there are construction going on in some part of the island but it wasn't nosiy.

the staff are quite friendly and since there are quite some walk between rooms and bars and restaurant, you will need to take buggy quite a lot.

food price is very reasonable and room dinning experience is briliant.

snorkerling is not the best in Maldives given the visibility of the tide, but you still can spot many spicies.

recommend tHe finishing tour and you can have the fish you caught cooked for free

Paradise!

Can't rate this resort enough. Total paradise and perfect for relaxing in luxury. The resort is extremely well maintained, rooms are beautiful and the staff couldn't be more helpful. The spa is a tucked away haven in the middle of the island and provided some of the best treatments I have ever had. If you want to find paradise - this is it! Well done to all of the team at Dhigali.

We stayed 3 night at the overwater-villa and it was so fantastic! You can have private place not only the room, but the sea in front is almost yours --- I can snorkel there all day long.

The Easter Sunday Dinner was terrific, deserts and foods are very very nice.

My wife loves the sunset yoga session, as well.

We have many many great memory staying at this hotel.

Dream Holiday Come True

Would like to thank Riaan and his staff, Chef,& Ebay.
From the very start we were treated like VIP\"s. Ebay, sorry about the wrong spelling, he assisted us with a lost passports and wallet successfully.
Riaan really went out of his way to make our stay so special unforgettable
Every member of the staff from the waiter staff to buggy drivers were all friendly and a pleasure to talk to.
The dive shop staff were the same all very helpful,we enjoyed our scuba diving trips so much.
I think credit must go to Riaan and his staff, for creating such a pleasant place to holiday.
Thank You

Awesome brand new resort, staff were friendly!

Never had a bad experience during our stay. We stayed for three nights there and every night was worth it. Forecast was raining the whole week and every day my skin got tanned darker and darker.
Friendly staff, room cleaned twice daily. Adam who cleaned our room seemed very nice and doing a great work.
Promised the supervisor Alibe I’d rate this resort five stars and I tell you what, they deserve this 5/5 rating. From the first day we waited at their air conditioned lounge to the last day we left Dhigali with tears on our face.
The only cons were mainly the location of the resort. It’s far from the airport, we took a nearly 60min seaplane to the resort seabed and transferred to a boat for another 10min. I felt really uncomfortable taking a boat especially after the flight. What’s more, on check out there were three stops before arriving the airport, me and my wife almost puked! Was a bit expensive for the seaplane, I’d only take it once in my life just to experience flying high above the islands of Maldives.

Beautiful Island, vibrant nature with palms, white sand and turquoise blue water , a magnificent housereef just ready to explore its underwaterlife.
It is really a magical island with its own sense for good vibes. And even better it is build with a very nice resort with an awesome team full of good people which make your stay even better. The food was very good and you have a lot of options for a culinary highlight. If you really want the full package i think this is it! I really look forward to book it again with the PAI in the near future! See you next time!

素晴らしいハネムーンになりました

初めてのモルディブでしたが、近い将来必ず行きたいと思いました。
新婚旅行でしたので、失敗のないようにツアー会社経由で予約することも検討しましたが、色々調べると個人で組んだ方がお得かつ、自由度が高いと思いホテルズ.com経由で評価が良く価格も予算内で比較的新しいディガリにしました。
結果的に大正解で、モルディブの中では規模が大きいにも関わらず静かで落ち着いており、滞在中騒音などのストレスなく過ごせました。
今回プールの付いていない水上コテージである、ウォーターヴィラに宿泊しました。ハウスリーフが島の中でも残っているシュノーケルエリアが目の前でしたので、シュノーケリングメインであった私と夫としては最適の滞在でした。
ビュッフェのみならずレストランやカフェピッツェリアなど食事の選択肢も多く、食事には全く困りませんでした。
最終日は夫と二人で帰りたくない、また必ず行こう、と最初で最後と決めていたモルディブですが期待を良い意味で裏切られました！

Excelente hotel, mas pode melhorar

Hotel excelente, villa à beira mar espaçosa, limpa, banheiro com parte a céu aberto, muito diferente. Todos os restaurantes eram muito bons, apesar de ter algumas moscas no buffet principal, o que não deveria ocorrer. O lual/coquetel para ver o por do sol foi muito agradável. O mar era ótimo, mas tinham muitos baby sharks na beira, que segundo o hotel, eram inofensivos (mas assustam). Único senão: optamos pelo regime all inclusive, então não haveria porque nos apresentarem um conta para assinar no final de cada refeição ou de cada consumo de bebidas, onde estava descrito tudo o que havíamos consumido com seus respectivos valores, sendo que o valor a pagar era zero. Entretanto, havia o local para TIP. Achei bem constrangedor praticamente obrigar o hóspede a preencher um valor de gorjeta em tudo, pois a pessoa se sente constrangida em simplesmente \"riscar\"o respectivo local do valor da gorjeta. Prefiro dar pessoalmente a gorjeta em dinheiro para a pessoa que me atendeu, do que ter que assinar uma conta para tudo, num hotel all inclusive. Não merece nota 10 por isso.

Alles toll - aber für Schnorchler nicht ideal

Wasserbungalow prima, Upgrade mit Pool.
Frühstück und Abendessen für maledivische Verhältnisse super.
Insel relativ groß, es verkehren laufend kleine Elektro-Fahrzeuge zum Transfer.

Das einzige was wir persönlich vermissten: Eiin schönes Riff und viele Fische.
Riffe überwiegend Korallenschrott.
Menge und Vielfalt der Fische hatten wir auf den bisherigen 3 Inseln deutlich mehr.
Schade ..

Im November hatten wir reichlich Sturm und Regen mit viel Wind. Regenwasser dringt durch Wände, durch Terrassenschwelle, durch Fensterprofile. Wir haben viele Towels gebraucht um weiteren Schaden zu vermeiden. Betrifft vermutlich alle Bungalows; die Sanierung hat bereits während unserem Aufenthalt begonnen. Das Problem sollte damit bald gelöst sein..

Proche de la plage

Dhigali a ouvert ses portes en juin.
Hotel de luxe, décoration art comtenporain et moderne. Nous étions en villa plage(beach villa) que nous recommandons, coté nord. Les deluxes beach bungalow sont plus petites et n'ont pratiquement pas de plage, à éviter si possible. Par contre le lagon en face est top, et le snorkeling très intéressant.
Tout a été parfait, la villa, le garçon de chambre, les repas sous forme de buffet au restaurant principal.
A savoir, dans la chambre il y avait 2 bouteilles offertes par jour. Ce qui n'est pas négligeable quand on connait le prix d'une bouteille aux Maldives, ici ça a battu les records....Quand nous allions manger et que nous en commandions, la bouteille coûtait 5$ ( !!). Alors pensez à apporter la votre ! nous y avons pensé au bout de 2fois.
Tout était parfait sauf le prix des sorties.... et le prix des plongées..... (du grand n'importe quoi).
Prévoyez de demander le prix des transferts aussi. Chose que nous avions faite avant de réserver mais visiblement les prix annoncés à notre arrivée avaient largement triplés! grosse arnaque! plumage garantie!!

Not in a good location, but the resort is not bad.

The resort itself is very nice, but the water villa section is in a worse area where the watter is very muddy and rocky (some very big and sharp). Better not go in the water for a swim at low tide since you can't even have a one foot visibility. Suggest taking the beach villa instead. At least you can go to swim from your villa. The lagoon villa on the sand bank is way too expensive, 2-3 times higher which is unreasonably high in considering that sand bank isn't too awesome, though the water there is much clearer than water villa. The house reef isn't too spectacular. However, if you want a place to relax with a nice swimming pool, you can still consider it.
