Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa Maldives

Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa Maldives is the archetypal luxury Maldives resort, two tiny white specks of white-sand island fringed by a pristine coral reef and turquoise lagoon.

Just 35 minutes by speedboat from Male Airport, in the south Male Atoll, Anantara Dhigu Resort offers some of the most spacious luxury villas in the Maldives, some of which have private pools.

For those looking for crystal clear turquoise sea, fine white sand, plenty of facilities and a luxury resort easily accessed from Male, Anantara Dhigu Resort may be the perfect choice in the Maldives.

Anantara Dhigu has just 68 villas, suites and over-water bungalows, on the edge of tranquil lagoons. Rooms are very spacious and stylishly modern, with either sunrise or sunset views, and all just steps from the powdery white sand beach and tranquil lagoon.

Facilities and activities include diving, snorkelling, surfing, island hopping, tennis and of course, Anantara’s renowned Anantara Spa.

Anantara Dhigu Resort is great for a luxury family holiday to the Maldives as they have a great Kid’s Club, quality activities and two-bedroom Family villas, with separate bathrooms.

Fushi Cafe

Greet the Maldivian morning sunrise, at the Fushi Café on the white sandy beach of Dhigufinolhu. Adjacent to the Anantara marina, Fushi Café does informal all-day dining and themed Maldivian dinner buffets set to the tune of the Bodhu Beru band.

Fuddan Fusion Grill

Sample the freshest seafood scooped straight from the ocean or feast on imported steaks at this lively fusion grill facing the inner turquoise reef of Dhigufinolhu.

Prime aged imported cuts from Japan and Australia, Maldivian prawns, Wahoo and lobster are the menu mainstays.

Baan Huraa

Inspired Thai cuisine comes to the sublime beauty of a teak-house over water. Set on stilts above the Dhigufinolhu lagoon, the house opens to sweeping views across the Indian Ocean.

With internationally acclaimed Thai chefs, Baan Huraa offers a unique dining experience of authentic flavours of the Orient.

73 Degrees

The light and airy Maldivian-style thatched-roof pavilion faces the lagoon of Veligandu Huraa.

Enjoy the sumptuous breakfast buffet of fresh tropical fruits and juices, cereals, homemade breads, grilled meats and vegetables and a made-to-order omelette station, or select seafood plucked right from the Maldives at the Seafood Market.

Anantara Spa

With the sound of calm waves running beneath you and panoramic views of pristine ocean it’s time to unwind and enliven your spirit with the luxury spa at Anantara Dhigu.

Choose between nine sumptuous spa suites, each perched over the lagoon on Dhigufinolhu. The spa menu features holistic therapies designed to enrich and detoxify.

Diving

While Anantara certainly looks splendid from above the water, in the Maldives, you’ll find some of the most beautiful sights are below the surface. See a panorama of spectacular marine views on a full-day diving safari guided by the experts from Anantara’s own PADI 5-star Dive Centre.

If you’re a first-timer, get your PADI certification or simply snorkel  on the edge of the lagoon, perusing the fabled Maldivian coral gardens on one of the daily guided snorkelling trips.

The Anantara Dive Centre offers two boat dives a day to over 20 nearby reefs teeming with undersea life. In addition, the Centre runs full and half-day 'safari dives' to reefs and sites further offshore. 

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.

Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.

Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.

The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.

We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.

Regional connections from across the UK are available.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!

That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.

Do I need a visa for the Maldives?

If you're travelling on British Passports, no visa is required for stays of up to a month.

Please double check before travel however as visa requirements are subject to change at any time.
