I love this lovely cozy all inclusive hotel. The entire staff and dive team were personable and welcomes you like family. The chef prepares very tasty meals and made a great cake for my birthday! I would very much recommend this hotel for a fantastic snorkeling or diving experience in the Maldives.

Superb experience with professional staff.
Not only making us feel like home but also safe. Such a great team, from Kawshar, Saeed, to lovely Lucinda, Cam, Dylan; whome placed our safety first with daily exciting excursions. Food was fantastic with Chef Shanthi and Amith. Boat was safe with Captain Ibrahim and Sohag.
Big shout out to Afzal, the hotel manager who helped us to have a flawless journey despite the weather.
Romney left for her holiday but did not forget to ring and ask us on our last day, how thoughtful!

I usually do a lot of research on my dive trips, this shop pop up right away and booked my trip as we only have few days left to fly to the Maldives. Busy life!!
I have been diving for 20 years now. I usually get paired up with someone i have no knowledge of their diving profile, so its always a hit and miss. Well, the experience did not disappoint me. They went above and beyond. Because of what I do for a living, and I know where to tell my hard earned to go ... I know what is GOOD AND BAD. I feel local and i feel CARE. The place is exactly what is described. My fear is gone. From the staff, the “Guest Service”, to our suite, food, my diving experience (most important), and lots of personal touch. It made our stay extra ordinary. Outstanding. I am all about QUALITY, my expertise. Thanks to you all! It was more a “bad bye.” Short but sweet ... we will be back for more dive, we promised!
I did not expect the birthday presentation, i will never forget it (: Thanks again!

Wonderful diving holiday in a happy friendly hotel

We stayed with Romney and her wonderful team in August 2018. We travelled as a family of 3 - two adults and a 14 year old. All of us loved it!
The diving set up was very professional and safety-conscious, both in and out of the water. All the staff were very experienced and knowledgeable. We loved the efforts they made to celebrate our diver's 100th dive. The snorkellers were also ensured a great experience; there was a huge amount of aquatic life to see. We were lucky to snorkel with whale sharks on a number of occasions and a manta on the last day.
We loved the family atmosphere that was created back at the hotel ( and on the boat every day), and we were so lucky to meet some wonderful people during our stay. The team took the time to get to know us all, and there was a lot of laughter, joking and teasing of each other.
The food was amazing and we had dinner under the stars every night. The island is also interesting as local people live, work and school their kids here so a stroll to the harbour in the evening is a must.
The hotel itself is neat, well equipped, clean and homely. You can help yourself to tea, coffee and drinks whenever you like. It was so relaxing to stay here, there was simply no bother, and it was a perfect rest for office weary people needing a break.
We just loved it! We loved the place, the experience and all the Boutique Beach Team. Go as soon as you can!

Feels like home

Anyone that visit Dhigurah has got to stay with BB. My sister and I stayed 3 nights and it was the best decision ever. The staffs were very welcoming and friendly. The food was so delicious that I cannot stop raving about it and always looked forward to every meal at BB. On the first day of our snorkelling trip, we saw mantas and on the second day, a whale shark! In the evening Mette shared videos and photos taken during her dive trips and nice little chats about Singapore. I will definitely return to stay in BB when I am in Dhigurah. Thank you so much!! -Belinda

Awesome and authentic gem

Boutique Beach is just perfect to both relax and unwind, at the same time as being an ideal spot to explore the Maldives marine life. Afzal and his team really look after their guests in a modest but well appointed all inclusive hotel on the edge of Dhigurah Village; The transfers were suppurbly coordinated, the rooms were generous and comfortable, the meals were gorgeous - if one wants to get away from it all for a decent holiday, Boutique Beach ticks all the boxes.

Ali and the team on the dive boat were knowledgeable, accomodating and passionate - we couldn't have wanted for more. We were only snorkelling but we still managed to see turtles, manta ray and a whale shark.

A short stay in paradise

I am not very fond of water nor sunbathing. I was curious to experience the Maldives but still a bit in doubt whether I will like the stay. However, I was in paradise after arrival at the Boutique Beach hotel. Daily excursion is arranged the evening before, excellent buffet with a variation of international and local cuisine keeps you well fed. The small size (6 rooms) gives it a family feel and there is always a motivation member of the attentive staff crew around should you need something, have a question or being only after a small talk.Did not need to care about transportation to/from the island (apart from expressing my preference), thus you end up being in this place and the only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy it to the max!
Obviously not under control of the hotel or the associated divers crew, but we were lucky enough to spot all the animals we were coming to see. Thus, this is not only a home at a beach with white sands and crystal clear water, it is located in the area where the travel books promise these experiences.
Time flew and we had to leave paradise after 4 days. No doubt I would chose the same hotel again and recommend it to any friend who is after this kind of Maldives experience (the hotel is on a local island and not the right place if you are after a resort stay).
A big thank you to all members of the crew who gifted 4 days in paradise to us!

PS: they organized a birthday surprise for me - you have to try yourself if you want to know more.

Great location with friendly staff

Me and my partner visited the hotel for my 21st birthday, we booked this hotel due to the budget price of the hotel and previous reviews of the snorkelling opportunities. Greeting at the airport and subsequent journey to the hotel was stress-free and we were welcomed with much needed cold towels and a welcome drink. The room itself was what we expected for the price we paid, it was clean and had basic amenities, as an all inclusive hotel there is a fridge for you to collect drinks as and when required. There were a few things that niggled me such as the mould on the chair on the balcony (only due to exposure to the outside), and the wobbly tap on the sink which could easily be overlooked as it did not affect the experience.
The hotel is definitely meant for divers, we did not book an excursion package and as such the excursions were fairly pricey (about $25pp dollars for a basic trip, $50pp for an all day experience) which did mean that I didn't go on as many as I had planned. However, if booked with the excursions included then this isn't an issue you can just go whenever.
The best part of this hotel for me is the beach, if is beautiful and a 30 second walk from your room. The reef is close and you can see fish just standing on the shore.
The hotel went above and beyond for my birthday with a candlelit dinner on the beach and a homemade cake. I really did feel so special and their care felt genuine. All in all a relaxing experience but be prepared to spend money for extras

Perfect resort experience

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed! It is pretty much all inclusive; there wasn't anything I wanted that I needed to buy from them (although there was one thing I needed to buy from the nearby village and *they* didn't miss the opportunity to gouge me). And everything they provided was fantastic. The food was really excellent, and I especially liked the fresh juice with every meal. There are extra snacks out between meals and a cooler full of drinks. They even thought of little details like including a beach bag to bring your stuff to the beach.

The beach, by the way, is twenty feet away. It's as nice as any beach in the Maldives. It's walled off from the rest of the island, though, due to the local sensibilities about swimwear. You can go where you like, but if you want to sunbathe you have to stick to the foreigners area. This might annoy some people but for me having a local village around to explore and people-watch was a plus. Aside from that, they've partnered with a local diving business to have daily excursions. I only went on one since I was here just a few days, but both the hotel staff and the diving staff made it super easy to get arranged.

The room was great. The furniture is comfortable and the overall design stylish. I loved the outdoor bathroom; showering in the open air is wonderful, but the high walls made it feel private still. And the staff was so friendly that I literally met the owner twice before I realized she worked there. Highly recommend!

Really being spoilt with all inclusive package! Everything was arranged and the dive/snorkelling trips to see the whale sharks and manta rays is a must!

Brilliant experience overall

wow, still miss the days my wife and I were there. Hotel staff from the owner Romney, manager Fayaz to the facilitating staff Shahid, chef Buddi and instructors Ali and Sammi made us feel right at home from day one. Thanks guys

As you may all know Maldives is the perfect honeymoon destination, any island would be amazing but prospective visitors must engineer their holiday according to their needs. We stayed at Boutique Beach for a week and wanted to make the stay our most memorable one, so we planned activities that brought us closer as a newly wedded couple. We took the daily excursion package that included daily snorkelling. You may or may not want to go out for the excursion and just laze about at the hotel or sunbath.

Ideally go for the all inclusive holiday packages so that you do not have to worry about food, as the islands fly in edibles from neighbouring countries and may cost a lot and you may face a hefty bill at checkout. We had unlimited food and beverage supply during our stay.

The hotel prides itself by providing a very friendly atmosphere among guests and by the second day we started sharing our experiences with the limited guests at lunch and dinner. It is a diving heaven for divers and aquatic life lovers. You need not be an experienced diver as the instructors guide you.

On our last night, local musicians were called upon to let us experience amazing cultural music which all the guests danced to the beat of. The overall experience was brilliant.

Amazing time in Maldives thanks to Boutique Beach

We had an amazing time in Maldives. We were thinking on going to a resort but we made the best decision going to Boutique Beach Hotel.

The hotel has the highest standards, with an amazing outdoor shower. There are only 6 rooms therefore you feel that all the staff is really taking care of you. That is also great for the beach, as there are no tourism and you feel like you are in a desert island.

We took the excursion package and I would recommend it, as you can combine relaxing time on the beach with a great snorkel, where you get to see turtles, small sharks, whale sharks, mantas, etc.

Highly recommendable

Paradise for diver. So so for the others.

Everything was out of my expectations. Love the bedding and the shower room. Everything in the room were well designed and tasteful. Couldn't give out a 5 stars cause it did have its flaws. Food wasn't as good as the other people have described. Of course, they weren't bad either. Mosquito was a minor problem, even though they did try to give out a repellent. Definitely not for non diver and the surrounding neighborhood was very interesting bit could get bored quickly. Lack of a nice clean beach also. But for the diver out there, you have come to the right place!

Paradise

Me and my boyfriend spent 7 wonderful days at Boutique Beach Hotel.The staff was very professional and really fulfilled all our expectations by individual approach and an effort to every guest request, from the first refreshing towel and welcome coconut drink to the last photo shooting that the manager took at the end of our stay. The Sri Lanka chef really tryed to please everybody, even made a seperate meal for my other half when fish was on the menu. :-)
We absolutely fell in love in an open roof bathroom with great view of the stars, very big comfortable bed, simplicity of decoration, interior design and sand floor dining room. We enjoyed the sunset on the rooftop terrace which was a great spot for taking pictures, watching the moon and movies under the stars as well.
In all-inclusive service they also provided us with cell phone, usb chargers, insect repellant, beach towels, snorkelling equipment and all excursions were included. The dive master Ismail and the captain took us to fabulous spots for diving and snorkeling with mantas, whale sharks and several times we saw the dolphins. We also loved the sand-band island trip, they really made sure every trip to the sea was an adventure.

Brand new boutique diving hotel on a local island

We stayed at the Beach Boutique Diving Hotel in Dhigurah as a couple for a week in May '15. It was a great experience. We loved the concept of a truly all-inclusive holiday, featuring water sports (diving and/or snorkelling), amazing nature, a taste of the local culture, all the comforts (the hotel is brand new, comfortable and stylish) and an exciting sense of remoteness. It is possible to follow a course to get a Padi, which is what we did; it was a very satisfying experience. Crucially, our holiday was made special by the staff, a great team of friendly and professional people. They were always friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to accommodate us. By the end of our holiday it felt like family. We would definitely recommend and we are sure we'll go back at some point.

Amazing Place with friendly people!

We were there over our anniversary and it was outstanding. The hotel is very clean and has beautiful rooms. The sand in the dining room, the open showers overlooking the sky and the proximity to the beach... we loved it. The food was fantastic and the people were super friendly. At each meal we got a fresh juice!
We'll be back soon. Particularly noteworthy are the impressive diving experiences with Mette :-) Thank you for making our dream vacation unforgettable. We miss the paradise place and the big fishes like whale shark :-) See you soon in our honeymoon!
