About Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort

Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort sits on Dhigufinolhu Island in South Malé Atoll, reached by a 30-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport. The resort holds 110 villas arranged between beach and overwater categories, with a choice of sunrise or sunset orientations and higher tiers adding private plunge pools. Dining covers four restaurants, including Sea.Fire.Salt. for premium grills, Aqua for Italian poolside service, Flavours of Asia for Japanese, South Asian and Thai, and Fushi Café for international buffets, and guests can additionally dine at the restaurants of sister property Anantara Veli across the lagoon. Meal-plan options span Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board. The lagoon around Dhigufinolhu is protected enough for kite-surfing, windsurfing and stand-up paddle, while the house reef supports snorkelling and diving directly off the beach, and the wider South Malé area delivers accessible dive and surf sites. The Anantara Spa runs treatments from overwater pavilions, and family travellers can use a supervised kids' club and dedicated pools. The short speedboat transfer, multi-property dining access through sister resort Veli and strong in-house culinary programme distinguish Anantara Dhigu within the South Malé segment, making it suited to couples and families seeking variety without long onward travel.
