Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort

Where do i start from the moment we were picked up from another island we felt special.The captain Faariz had spotted a big pod of dolphins so going in the opposite direction he went out of his way to follow them.When we arrived we were greeted by drums and staff on the jetty. Our personal host for the week was Saajid who whisked us off on a buggy for a tour of the island then checked us in once we were in our room.Nothing was too much trouble and he organised all our dinners for us.We stayed in a beach villa on the sunset side which was beautiful and the bathroom just wow.Ibbe our room cleaner was brilliant and always kept it spotless.The fushi cafe restuarant was brilliant for breakfast a good variety of food and a shout out to Priyantha, Maif,Raj ,Sobah,Gillu,Sajer and especially Tippu. The Aqua bar is definetly worth a visit for lunch or dinner italian was lovely.Disni and Muzach really look after you.The fire salt ice restuarant is definetly one to go to and try and get a table by the sea. food is unbelievable big shout out to Muzaah who really looked after us on our anniversary. A visit to the cocktail bar is a must Don the mixologist is a legend and if we had more time we would of definetly done a cheese and wine tasting with him as his knowledge is exceptional.The thai restuarant the food unbelievable and try and get a table by the rocks as the resident turtle likes to come out and say hello.Yok,Maath and Tippu are wonderful. A special mention has to be given to the marine biologists Ory and Elias.The knowledge and passion they have for the conservation of the sea and wildlife is contagious.Elias took my husband snorkelling over at picnic island (which is worth a visit as Ehis and sancho will look after you)at the tiki bar.Ory and Elias even came to find us to say goodbye on our day of departure. Watersports are great we tried seabobs which were brilliant fun and Ahmed and Anees were always on hand to help. We went over to the adults only island vili and had some lunch and also got to look at a villa on the private island opposite which the wonderful Joker sorted for us.The island is gorgeous and definetly worth thinking about if you want complete privacy. Pankaj food and bevarage manager of all 3 islands was a joy to talk to and he should be very proud of the good staff he has got. A special mention to the people that work so hard and were always ready for a chat Seda,Zahid,Monette,Usmann,Dhaish and Xavier.Simah that my husband spoke to every morning in reception was so lovely. I would reccomend this island for the variety of restuarants and the staff.You can see other islands in the distance in some places so if your after a remote location this might not be the place for you but if like me you feel more content knowing that other places are close by then it doesnt take away from the beautiful scenery. My big tip for going would be to try and find out what events they have on in the evenings as we were too late to book some as in a bo

The experience in general was the very best. The islands and facilities are amazing. We stayed in an overwater villa with private pool. It was truly magical. Kadir really made our stay a special one, taking into consideration it was our anniversary. Everything was incredible and felt like a dream

11/10 experience - where to begin. The food was incredible, staff exceptional, rooms were huge and clean, water sports were great. The whole trip was like a postcard from start to finish. I can’t fault a single thing. We had the best time and will be back.

Amazing service and amazing place. My recommendation to take sunset side of the island. Fish restaurant includes night view for sharks. Not so far from male, just 30 min by boat. Very good GYM with best technogym technics. Ram was max pleasure concierge.
