Dhigali is a luxury resort in the quiet and more unexplored Raa Atoll, its remote location is one of the islands attractions.
It is a slender island with a house reef that surrounds most of the island, with lovely sandbanks.
The 180 rooms range from secluded villas on the island to overwater bungalows, or there is the Dhigali Suite with its beachfront infinity pool, private bar and personal butler.
It is an island that caters for everyone – from honeymooners to families, everything is covered.
The beach villas are ideal for families and the kids club is fantastic – so an island that is perfect for a family holiday.
Dhigali is known for its good diving and snorkelling, the great house reef and wonderful staff.
We would recommend a dine around package as the resort has several great dining options. There are also several bars – one that is often found on Instagram is the Haali sunset bar.
It is a resort that oozes class and it has a really clever, imaginative and fresh design.
