About Dhiguveli Maldives

Dhiguveli Maldives is a 3-star, 19-room guesthouse on the local island of Dhigurah in South Ari Atoll, reached from Velana International Airport by speedboat or domestic flight plus a short boat transfer. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, balconies overlooking garden areas, mini-bars, and flat-screen TVs. Facilities include a family-friendly restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a rooftop dining area, a beachfront sun terrace, and a lush garden. The property sits roughly 150 feet from the long bikini beach on Dhigurah, one of the more extensive stretches of tourist beach on any local island. Dhigurah's principal draw is its position within South Ari Atoll's whale shark protected area, with year-round sightings on dedicated snorkeling trips arranged through village-based operators; the house reef just offshore is also suitable for snorkeling, and certified divers can access thilas and channels known for manta rays and reef sharks. The guesthouse holds a 4.7/5 rating from 221 reviews, with guests highlighting the kitchen, spa treatments, and responsive staff. It suits budget-conscious travelers seeking authentic island life alongside serious marine activity.
