Pros: Exceptionally good dive center and staff there, beautiful dive sites and sea life, spacious and rooms, helpful staff
Cons: Island itself is pretty big for Maldives while beaches are not the best you can potentially find (small lagoons with protectors from currents, you cannot really walk on the beach around the island). 2 cars are not enough in the rain for the whole island

super, relaxing, battery charging!
Pros: all-inclusive is realy all-inclusive. I would recommend taking this option. Staff is very friendly and are helpfull from arrival till departure! The house reef is sufficient for snorkling and the nices coral and sealife is present at the far sides of the island. You can go a far end into the sea at Haali bar (great sunsets) and snorkel all the way to Bar East for a nice cocktail!
Cons: nothing in particular although drinks, during dinner time and breakfast, could take a while!

Pros: The perfect paradise! All the acomodations are really comfortable with a nice view. The staff is so nice, always available to help and to chat a little bit. The food is really good, with a few restaurants that you can choose, with a lot of food options. A lot of bars, activities to do and places to be so you never get bored.
Cons: Sometimes the DJ music near the pool was to loud. We would prefere if it was more a chill-out environment rather than a nigh out mood. Also, we think that the music group that entertains the sunset bar and some evenings could be better.

Traumhafte Insel mit vielen Rückzugsmöglichkeiten um Energie zu tanken!
Pros: Das Hausriff ist unschlagbar - direkt vor der Türe! Personal ist überwiegend sehr herzlich und freundlich. Bester Mann des Hauses: Martin Der general manager ist sehr zugänglich und ebenso interessiert und freundlich.
Cons: Großteil der Kellner im Faru wirkt sehr genervt. Möglicherweise sind sie zu wenige. Könnte allerdings auch mit den überwiegend vorherrschenden unhöflichen russischen Urlaubern zu tun haben, die sich bemüßigt fühlen ihren Lebensfrust an dem Personal abzulassen. F&B-Manager reevaluieren! Zimmer wurde immer relativ spät gemacht - ist aber nur eine Notiz keine relevante Kritik. Zuletzt weil es mir extrem negativ (wie immer und überall) aufgefallen ist: Viele RUSSEN!!!!

Voortreffelijk
Pros: Ronduit het beste beste hotel waar ik ooit heb verbleven. Meer dan uitstekende service. Voortreffelijk eten. Een hop on off shuttle busje dat je rond het eiland brengt en waarvan je de realtime locatie op een speciale Dhigali app kunt zien (geniaal bedacht). Leuk huissrif om te snorkelen, gratis subplanken lenen, prive tuintje voor ieder huisje. Goede duikschool waar het personeel alles voor je doet, en je apparatuur voor je voorbereid. De vlucht met het watervliegtuig naar het eiland is een ware belevenis. Bij het inchecken in het hotel sta je niet in een rij. Je krijgt een prive medewerker toegewezen en je meeneemt naar een lounge , waar je plaats kunt nemen en waar je gelijk aan de champagne mag. Bagage wordt allemaal naar je huisje gebracht. Elke dag een gevulde minibar met A-merk dranken en versnaperingen en fruit. Echt super relaxt. De dag voor vertrek krijg je een briefje op je kamer wanneer je bagage wordt opgehaald en wanneer je wordt opgehaald om naar je transfer te brengen. supergoede wifi waar je met gemak mee kunt netflixen en videobellen. Als je een strandbedje uitkiest krijg je een belletje naast je bedje om de bediening te roepen. Hele leuke sunset bar. Voor de rest stuk voor stuk uitstekende a la carte restaurants. Ik denk dat het last wordt een hotel te vinden in deze prijsklasse dat dit overtreft.
Cons: Ik zou zorgen dat je de transfer zowel heen als terug met het watervliegtuig maakt. Is comfortabeler dan met de boot en de binnenlandse vlucht

Pros: La segunda parte estuvimos de la luna de miel estuvimos en villa lagoon con piscina. Vistas y paisajes únicos Hay que destacar la atención y la amabilidad de su personal que nos ayudaron en todo, ya que nosotros hablamos español, pero no fue obstáculo para comunicarnos especialmente con Hasan. El atardecer Espectacular, con un clima perfecto, temperatura agradable día y noche, humedad perfecta, música en vivo, los colores de sus aguas. En el Hali Bar música en vivo. Puedes organizar el día como quieras con la aplicación del hotel. Me encanta estar en el agua, estaba gran parte del día haciendo snorkel se ve gran cantidad y variedad. Hay también actividades acuáticas. Nos sorprendió la cantidad y calidad de las comidas, te vas a la segura, este punto fue muy importante para decidir por este hotel Estamos muy felices de haber vivido está experiencia

Pros: Hotellet är mysigt och trevligt. Restaurangerna är jättebra och har bra utbud.
Cons: Vissa av personalen var inte lika vänliga/hjälpsamma som andra. Man fick en känsla av att de gjorde oss en tjänst för att hjälpa till. Detta gäller specifikt restaurangpersonalen. Dagen vi skulle lämna hade vi fått ett schema på när vi skulle lämna hotellet men vi fick ringa flera gånger då ingen dök upp vid utsatt tid vilket gjorde att vi fick stressa oss till lobbyn med ett litet barn.

чудесный остров. можно смело рекомендовать как парам, так и семьям с детьми.
Pros: пляжный бар Hali прекрасен и жарким днём, и вечером- с волшебными закатами и живой музыкой. приватное расположение пляжных вилл, удобное перемещение по острову на багги, хорошая кухня, приветливый персонал. детский клуб порадовал- дети могли проводить там время, когда на улице самое пекло и, при этом , они всегда были заняты чем-то интересным. отлично организованные Новый год и Рождество- всё было очень красиво! неплохой домашний риф в паре метров от виллы- кого только не видели, пока плавали с масками (и акулы, и дельфины, и манты, и черепахи, а рыб- устанешь перечислять)
Cons: мы были 10 дней и уборка не всегда была своевременна - приходилось звонить и напоминать.

Вилла 310. Пакет все включено. С двумя детьми (2 и 8 лет).
Pros: Все понравилось! Территория большая и невероятно Зеленая, ухоженная, в тени, много мест уединения, велосипеды только для персонала, можно доехать на багги до удалённого места. Перемещались в основном босиком. Кроссовки нужны только для спортзала. Туфли вообще бесполезны. Много кораллов на берегу, но есть лагуны , в которые можно зайти и поплавать, не опасаясь пораниться. Рыбки, крабики- везде. Летучие лисицы летают, птички поют. У Сансет бара в ранние часы 7-8 утра возле отмели плавают рифовые акулы. Скатов не видели. В пакет входили 2 экскурсии на лодке: дельфины и со стеклянным дном, и каякинг. На эти экскурсии можно просто записаться через приложение, которое легко установить прямо по приезду. Отдельно хочется отметить команду на лодке «в поиске дельфинов», очень дружелюбные к детям ребята, высмотрели стаю из сотен дельфинов и манту. Все были очень довольны! Изысканная еда, разнообразные блюда, очень вкусные. Особенно понравились блюда из морепродуктов и рыбы: на гриле, тартары, raw бар, севиче - отдельная любовь. Есть простые однокомпонентные не острые блюда, которыми можно покормить детей (помимо типичного детского меню в виде наггетсов и картошки фри). В ресторанах a la carte FARU все заказанные блюда оказались потрясающе вкусными. В ресторане BATUTTI очень красивый интерьер и невероятной красоты посуда. Попробуйте мороженое с Чили и специальный пряный чай. Также хочется отметить коктельную карту. В течение дня в барах можно отведать холодное просекко, освежающие вкусные алкогольные и нет коктейли на любой вкус. Сансет бар с ежевечерней живой музыкой и напитками - шикарный аперитив на закате перед ужином. В Детской комнате совершенно великолепный персонал. Большое спасибо. Ребёнка одного там можно оставить с 4 лет. Детская площадка в теньке, но детям есть чем заняться без неё. Ребёнок был в восторге и каждый день хотел скорее туда пойти. В целом, в отеле детей много, но незаметно. Рекомендую брать с собой детям круги, лопатки и ведерки.
Cons: Два раза проигнорировали уборку виллы. Хотя висела табличка с просьбой убрать с 8-00 до 13-00. Это очень расстроило. Так как внутри собирается песок, не смотря на краны при входе. Но после конкретной просьбы делать уборку до 13-00, в связи со сном детей, больше таких ситуаций не возникало. В ресторане a la crate FARU медленное обслуживание. Повторный заказ на напитки был проигнорирован. Звукоизоляция на пляжной вилле плохая. Прекрасно слышали соседнюю семью с детьми, думаю, что они нас тоже. Особое внимание хочу обратить на неверное составление персоналом итогового счета относительно внутреннего переплёта. Не был включён ребёнок старше 2 лет, его посчитали по ошибке инфантом. Данные были высланы мной заранее, также мы прилетали на остров , в том числе с ребёнком, и также у персонала была возможность предупредить нас об этой ситуации все наше пребывание на острове.

Dreamy Honeymoon
Pros: When Your best honeymoon dream meets reality. So we were first welcomed by the hotel representative in the airport who took us through all the process till the sea plane, then we landed by the dhigali island to be greeted with smiles and hospitality from the property manager and the rest of the team. From there we spent 15 nights in heaven. Firstly in lagoon villas for 13 nights then they upgraded us to the beach suit for our last 2 nights. During our stay we enjoyed every part of the island, from beaches to bars to restaurants. We were worried about the weather, however the weather were perfect, we saw around 5 rainy days, 5 overcast days and 5 sunny days, all were perfect. Shoutout to Maged “batota restaurant head chief” for his amazing hospitality and taking care of us throughout our stat, also to ruby “in capers restaurant” for her smily face each morning which gives u energy and good vibes for the rest of the day. Attention to details, feeling welcomed and taken care of are the main pillars of our happiness during our stay. We will be back if we are lucky enough.
Cons: Well, nothing major actually. Room 701 “where we first stayed for 2 days” was not very private as it was near the beach, but when we addressed the issue to the front desk they moved us to a further room to be more private.

Pros: Everything met our expectations. The Island itself is very beautiful, 80% of natural flora is preserved while building this resort, they have even a Jungle Walk, if you want to see how the island was when uninhabited. This is 100% barefoot island, I did not put my shoes on at all. The food is very tasty in all the restaurants and the choice is very huge. Villa was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Haali, the sunset bar is a gem, The East bar and main pool are a must, with so comfortable seating and live music in the evenings. We enjoyed also fishing and the glass bottom boat, while you can grab the snorkeling equipment and snorkel just outside your villa in the lagoon to see plenty of fish there. Last but not least they have a fantastic application, where you can reserve the table in all dine around, which is not common to the most of resorts, restaurants. Fantastic resort, fantastic stay! :)

We are here, in the middle of our stay, and everything is amazing: the island, the environment, the staff, the cleanliness, the views from the room, the food, etc. Snorkeling is a must if you arrive here! The daily program is diverse, there are lots of activities for all tastes and types of guests. We arrived on 25th of December, and we have been welcome by all staff, including the manager, Mr. Christian Szabo who is very considerate and courteous with everybody. What firstly impressed us were the beauty of the island and the Christmas decorations. There is a lot of attention given to guests and you really feel like home.

Great Staff, The service deserves more than 5 stars. We never got bored due to the many possibilities on the island. The Haali bar tops everything. There Are childern and families on the Island, but its Never too loud, everyone was polite! Our room was upgraded free of charge. The rooms are also nice, only the design is very banal.

Me pareció un resort muy bien integrado en la isla, limpio y tranquilo, un buen lugar donde pasar unas vacaciones de relax, las playas y las zonas de snorkel muy buenas, por poner una pega y como crítica constructiva hacia la dirección del hotel es que no pudimos cenar en los restaurantes con reserva por que estaban completos y no nos daban opción, estamos de ir a resort por todo el mundo y esto nunca nos había pasado y en el buffet a la hora de comer había muy poca variedad………por la calidad del lugar deberían de tener un poquito más de cuidado en estos términos, he de agradecer el servicio ofrecido por el chico que nos limpiaba la habitación (waseen) hizo que todo estuviera perfecto durante la semana y Putu en el buffet también se portó genial con nosotros……un saludo desde España volveremos a vernos Dhigali

We stayed in Dhigali for 4 nights, everything here is awesome, excellent service. There are 4 restaurants, 1 cafe and 2 bars for dining, all good! You can have snack and drink anytime. The buggy serves from 7:00 A.M. and you can find the immediate status with APP, it helps. It’s unforgettable in Dhigali. Thank you all.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful resort and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable, providing all the amenities one would expect for a relaxing stay. The staff at the resort were incredibly attentive and friendly, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests were well taken care of specially rilwan and Hadhoum. From check-in to check-out, their warm hospitality made me feel extremely welcome and valued as a guest.and also madey he is with 24 hours for our services. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the food. The resort had a variety of dining options, each offering a unique culinary experience. The quality of the food was exceptional, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, leaving me eagerly anticipating my next meal. Overall, my resort stay surpassed my expectations in every way. The combination of top-notch accommodations, excellent service, and delectable cuisine made it a truly enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway with exceptional food.

After a hectic wedding weekend, spending our honeymoon at Dhigali was exactly what we needed! The resort itself is absolutely beautiful - we really enjoyed our Lagoon Pool Villa, all the food and beverages, and the service we received during our stay. The app makes it super convenient to manage your bookings and itinerary, as well as track the Shuttle Buggy around the island. A big thank you to Ateh who did an amazing job with our photoshoot, Softi who ran our Sunset Cruise, and Hasan and his entire team who made our stay so memorable!

Infraestrutura 5/5 Infraestrutura ótima. Tudo está em ótimo estado de conservação e funcionamento, hotel bonito e bem cuidado. Transporte interno 2/5 A ilha é grande e na minha estadia apenas um ou dois carrinhos faziam o transporte. Muitas vezes a espera foi bem longa. O hotel não disponibiliza bicicletas para os hóspedes. SPA 5/5 Fizemos uma massagem de casal. Massagem espetacular e atendimento impecável, vale a pena Atividades/Lazer 1/5 O hotel é muito fraco no quesito atividades, tanto diurnas quanto noturnas. Precisam melhorar muito nesse sentido. Claro que é um hotel para hóspedes com perfil mais reservado, mas por vezes precisam haver mais opções para o lazer dos hóspedes. As duas excursões inclusas deixaram a desejar, principalmente o Glass Bottom Cruise. All Inclusive 2/5 Ao reservar analisei criteriosamente o cardápio tanto de bebidas quanto dos restaurantes. Para minha decepção foram removidos vários itens do cardápio e outros passaram a ser pagos, caso do vinho Serie A Familia Zucardi. Haviam poucas opções de carne de vaca de qualidade, sendo que a principal, filet mignon, foi removida em setembro dos restaurantes Faru e Jade. Os drinks tem qualidade mediana para ruim, melhor optar pelas doses ou cervejas. O restaurante buffet Capers oferecia pouca coisa na hora do almoço, menos de metade do espaço de comidas estava ocupado. O Battutta é o melhor restaurante, seguido por Jade, Faru e Capers. Destaque para a pizzaria e o café que entregam itens de bastante qualidade. Serviço 3/5 Não há um padrão. Alguns atendem excepcionalmente bem, outros nem tanto. A minha reserva dava direito a alguns itens extras mediante disponibilidade. Os mesmos só foram oferecidos após minha solicitação. Quarto 5/5 Villa Beach with Pool.

Não ocorreu, nos colocaram em um lounge compartilhado com vários hotéis, onde havia uma cafeteria com tudo cobrado a parte. Quanto ao Seplane, apesar de pagarmos um valor altíssimo, foi superlotado e pousou em outro hotel, demorando muito mais tempo Custo Benefício 4/5 O hotel tem bom custo benefício, porém se eu retornasse para as Maldivas, buscaria outra opção.

We were Dhigali just 4 nights, for such a short period, it was wonderful vacation. Resort has 4 restaurants and 3 of them is a la carte restaurant that you need to make reservation, since we have a very limited period, resort made reservation for us and when we arrived they informed us about our bookings that was a very thoughtful action. All of the resort staff is very friendly and especially the staff working in the restaurants are very professional and experienced. Resort Manager Hassan is very friendly to the guests. I think he is great team leader as he manages the staff from 20 different nationalities and make them to work with harmony. Within more than hundreds of options in Maldives, Dhigali is one the best in terms of service and location. In addition, it is a beautiful combination of tropic forest and exotic beach with delicious food. Just have a small observation, due to food culture of the region, foods are very spicy.

Hemos estado 7 noches en el complejo y todo nos ha encantado. Desde nuestra llegada al aeropuerto de Male, el personal del hotel nos atendió con amabilidad. Hicimos el traslado en hidroavión hasta el hotel y nos recibieron con una bebida y nos explicaron como funcionaba la App, para poder reservar cenas y excursiones. El paquete todo incluido tiene todo lujo de detalles, entra casi todo, salvo excepciones muy particulares. La habitación , en nuestro caso la water villa, nos enamoró. Limpia, cuidada y con todo lujo de detalles. Impresionante vista del amanecer y buena ubicación para hacer snorkel. La comida es muy buena y variada, teniendo muchas opciones. Hay diversos restaurantes que ofrecen distintas experiencias. Las bebidas están muy buenas y hay bastante variedad. Especial mención a los postres, frutas y sabores tipicos del pais. Los restaurantes, en especial Batutta tiene bastante encanto. Todo está muy limpio y prestan mucha atención a que disfrutes al máximo. El personal es educado y se preocupa de que no te falte de nada. Especial mención al equipo del East bar. No podríamos describir en una reseña todo lo bueno vivido en Dighali, la mejor opción que hemos tomado en nuestro viaje a Maldivas.

An unforgettable stay in Dhigali! We have had the pleasure of staying at Dhigali in June for 5 nights. Our experience in the resort was nothing short of exceptional. This was our second trip to the Maldives and I must say we have enjoyed it more thanks to the extraordinary experience that the resort delivers. Dhigali provides a true premium all inclusive package from the moment you are greeted by its representative at the airport until the time you check out to your flight home. Everything is taken care of providing a seamless transfer process ensuring the journey to the island was smooth. Dhigali is located north west from the capital island. It takes 40 minutes to get there. Although our luggage was temporarily delayed by the seaplane company due to weight restriction, the resort offered us on arrival a thoughtful and generous goodie bags including the first necessities to ensure we start our vacation in paradise optimally. The premium all inclusive package exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed a variety of delectable meals culinary inspired by the region. The restaurant outlets are : Battuta (Maldivian, Indian, Arabic), Jade (Modern Asian), Faru (grill) & the forest pizzeria for pizza on take aways! All restaurants offer an impressive selection of a la carte options including a dedicated menu for their vegetarian customers. The alcohol menu is exhaustive: large selections of beers, wines, spirits & cocktails. The fact that our mini bar was replenished daily added an extra touch of luxury and convenience to our stay. The resort's staff were simply outstanding. It is a real pleasure to see them waving at you when the seaplane docks at the jetty. We felt welcome from the moment we stepped foot on the island. We have been impressed by the delicate attention to all staffs to our needs: barman, beach boys, front desk, restaurant,... A good example is when the chef at Battuta personally came to check if the food was according to our taste. We have met with the resort manager who welcomed us upon arrival and later on at numerous time. He personally ensured that every guest had a remarkable stay. My wife and I agreed that their attention to details and commitment to guest satisfaction were truly commendable. I cannot forget to mention the resort helpful on site doctor. His presence gave up peace of mind, knowing that medical assistance is available 24/7. The island is truly exotic. Marine life is abundant which is ideal for snorkeling. It was a real pleasure to walk through to the island and feel the tropical energy that the forest delivers. The magic moment of the day is at sunset by the sunset bar. The sunset bar accompanied by DJ Kesh provide an amazing ambiance and vibes. We found ourselves captivated by the breathtaking sunsets while enjoying the perfect blend of music and cocktails. We were further impressed by the resort innovative phone application that enhanced our experience. The application features a detailed map of the island, restaurants menus with convenient booking option, and daily program events happening in the resort. Additionally, we could track the real time location of the resort's buggies, making transportation around the island a breeze. A few last words on the room itself. We had booked a lagoon over water villa with private pool. At time of booking a request was made to get one of the villa facing the west for best sunset views. We were happy to hear upon check in that our request got granted meaning staff take particular attention to the booking requests. The villa was spacious, well furnished and comfortable. The only negative point of this review is that I have noticed that the outdoor deck lacks of maintenance. Wood treatment with a fresh coat of paint and varnished will help to restore its luster. Our stay in Dhigali was truly memorable. The resort commits to what it advertises. No disappointment at all, only happy memories and satisfaction of a perfect vacation. I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking an escape in the Maldives.

The Dhigali Resort is truly a paradise on earth. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service from the staff. The service is not only personal and attentive, but also goes above and beyond to make sure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The resort itself is breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches are truly a sight to behold. The villas are spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities you could possibly need. The attention to detail in the design and décor is truly impressive. One of the highlights of our stay was the dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the variety of cuisines on offer was impressive. The staff were also very accommodating and attentive to details. Nothing was ever too much to ask for!

Overall, the Premium All-Inclusive Dhigali Resort in the Maldives is a truly exceptional experience. The service is unmatched, the location is stunning, and the amenities are top-notch.

No words can describe our stay. We stayed in beach villa with pool for 7 nights and was so impressed with accommodation. Was looked after by shomo villa 404 what a lovely human being spent 2 of my last days looking for him to say thank you but never saw him. We decided to move to lagoon villa with pool for 3 nights to experience both types of accommodation and it was lovely especially the first sunset we had was just stunning. We both preferred beach villa. STAFF. What can we say apart from some of the nicest people I've met. Made some good friends. Monlady at halli bar,Paula in cafe and young jallal in East bar ( only 17 ) 3 people that made our stay that extra bit special. It was meant to be a once in a lifetime trip but the staff and island have thrown that out the window and are already going to book for nxt year. Shout out to hassan the resort manager who is such a humble man. The premium all inclusive is great and any extras are explained so there is no hiding costs. Look forward to seeing u all next year.

Our family (including two older teenagers) enjoyed a truly excellent stay at Dhigali in late December into early January. We rated it very highly in all areas, with only a couple of very small issues (and one slightly bigger disappointment). All-in-all a great stay on a beautiful island, enhanced by consistently tremendous staff throughout the resort during our stay. Travel: We opted for seaplane transfers and we were well looked after on arriving in Male. We had only around an hour wait in the comfortable lounge and enjoyed the hour or so plane ride (with a stop in another resort on the way). The welcome at Dhigali was warm and check in was smooth with a good briefing. We arrived early afternoon and our rooms were ready, which was very welcome. The return journey was pretty stressful though; I think the seaplane times are outside the hotel’s control, but we eventually arrived into Male airport only an hour before our 9am scheduled Emirates flight to Dubai and then had to navigate the slightly chaotic airport. Lots of others seemed to be in the same boat luckily so the flight was delayed and we made it, but watch out for the return transfer times. The resort: Dhigali is a stunning island. It’s about 2km to walk all around; not too big but also not too small. Just right for us. The beaches are beautiful and it’s picture perfect. The facilities are well spread out, and apart from the new year’s eve dinner, it never felt at all crowded which was a real bonus given it’s a really popular time of year. We walked around almost all of the time but there are two buggies rotating the island which generally aren’t too far away from you and you can track on the Dhigali app. The app is actually pretty useful – you get logged in at check in and you can check/make restaurant & activity bookings, see what’s on each day, check restaurant menus etc. Definitely worth a look before arriving. We had great weather most of the time, though it was really tropical on new year’s eve. There was the odd, usually short sharp shower throughout our 10 days but generally great and very warm. If you’re looking for 100% guarantee of no rain, even in dry season, then the Maldives isn’t the place. Accommodation: We stayed in two adjacent deluxe beach bungalows on the south side of Dhigali – a short walk from the Faru restaurant/Haali bar and the spa. The bungalows were excellent – modern, high quality, decent amount of space, nice outdoor bathrooms and the rooms were well made up and turned down each day. The inclusive minibar is topped up daily and has a good selection of drinks and snacks and is a nice touch. There’s a nice terrace outside leading to the lovely beach (with sunbeds). There are a couple of beach towels in each room (which you don’t need to take to the main beach). The rooms are designed to be doubles not twins, so one of our boys enjoyed the double bed whilst the other got landed with a foldaway bed – not ideal but he coped fine. A twin option would have been nice. Food & drink: We very much enjoyed the variety and quality of food and consistently excellent service across the four restaurants. We did a mix of them all and would do the same again. Not normally huge fans of a buffet, but the quality and variety of food were really good. In the a la carte options there are a few items which attract a supplement beyond the all inclusive but we never found the need to go near them. You can check the full menus on the app (and our boys managed to get sides of fries everywhere if they didn’t love some of the sides). Nice to be able to get bottles of wine from a decent wine list. Breakfast is at the main Capers buffet restaurant and was great – huge choice and temptation every day. Lunch was either buffet at Capers (very good) or a la carte at Faru (also very good) which was a bit more sedate than the buffet. We used the pizza takeaway a few times – excellent quality and a useful option. There are two main bars – the east bar next to the main beach and Haali bar on the opposite side. Different options and both excellent. Great range of drinks and very friendly, personal and excellent service. The views and setting at Haali are as good as the pictures make out. Also good beach drinks service at the main beach. And we had coffees, smoothies and the odd sandwich at the coffee shop (near reception) which was also good. We stayed over new year’s eve so part of the package was the gala dinner. I think the supplement per adult is $300 or so, so it’s not a cheap night out on top of the standard daily rate (though really common and there was a pretty grand party planned). The weather was terrible all day, so management had to radically change the plans and for us it led to a really disappointing evening. We queued for 45 minutes to be seated for the meal (partly in the rain); there were other problems too and it really didn’t feel anywhere near good value. But we sympathised massively with the staff who had to work really hard to adapt to the weather. It took the edge off the evening but definitely not the holiday. Some of the buffet food options (steak, lobster, crab etc) were really, really good. Activities & entertainment: We found the snorkelling to be sensational – the variety and quantity of fish plus the odd ray, shark, turtle, eel within and outside the rock walls at the drop off were just amazing. We loved it and did loads of it across the resort. We found the best bit to be between Haali towards the dive centre but good everywhere. The all inclusive package includes a glass bottom boat trip and a choice of a longer dolphin or sunset cruise. The glass bottom boat ride was OK but nowhere near as good as the snorkelling. The dolphin cruise was great. There’s generally entertainment (DJ, violinist, saxophonist, singer) each evening somewhere in the resort and we found it OK. Some was very good and some comically bad! The gym is decent (3 treadmills, couple of cross trainers, rower, some weights) and there's a games room next to it. We used the spa only once but found it very good. Summary: We loved our holiday in practically every way. Dhigali is a beautiful, high quality resort with great accommodation, food & drink, lovely beaches and really consistently terrific staff (we also saw and spoke to the resort manager Chris regularly and he’s very present). We very much miss every part of being there! We’ll most certainly return to the Maldives and whilst there’s a lot of choice, Dhigali would 100% be on our shortlist.

We travelled out on 9th November for a week. It was paradise. All the positive things you read about this island are true. The staff totally make all the difference to the experience. I cannot remember all names but the fabulous gent to looked after 714 villa was a credit to the island. Nothing was too much trouble and chatting to him about the fish we were seeing on a daily basis was informative. The other lady of special mention was Cathy - each morning at breakfast when she was on she made a special effort to greet us and show us to our table, and remembered our names each day. It was a few days later I realised it was her singing during some of the evening entertainment and she was fab. I miss you Cathy Also the waiter who remembered my cocktail of choice - Bubbly Dhigali each time we visited the sunset bar when my husband didn't know it!! We booked the restaurants before and during our stay and they were superb. Halli Bar was being refurbished whilst we were there - I do feel it took a little away from the experience. Also Faru and the Pizza hut were relocated during this time which made it much further for us to get lunch. However with the pop up bar they did make every effort to compensate for this. We were in a pool water villa but the pool is very much only a plunge pool. My only criticism would when we were travelling in the shuttle trucks to get around the island only 1 or 2 of the drivers were chatty (very different to elsewhere on the island), they also never seemed to acknowledge each other or other members of staff when travelling around. Would we return - yes in a heart beat.

We visited Dhigali for the second time after 2017 (opening year) because it is an ideal destination to relax and unwind. Basically, you feel like you're alone on an island - no stress, everything is informal. This resort is top-notch, from the accommodation to the food to the staff. There is nothing to criticize, only praise. Based on the very good experience, we will certainly visit this resort again.

Our hotel stay was absolutely fantastic, and my family, including the kids, thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our holiday. Everything went seamlessly, and the staff from every department were outstanding, providing assistance and support in every possible way. Unfortunately, we couldn't say goodbye to Tiari and the Kids Club team due to weather conditions and unexpected changes in our departure time. Kids club- Thank you for the lovely gift for the kids and they absolutely loved it. Also, I'd like to express my gratitude to Tiari from Capers for her warm and friendly welcome, along with the entire team. Receptionists Shanna and Vlada were extremely helpful throughout our stay, and Hadhoum made our first day delightful by ensuring everything was in order. I'd also like to give a special shoutout to Patricia, Anna, Zuzu, and Ems from the kids' club, they were outstanding, and our children had a blast with the activities. Lastly, Lorex from the cafe deserves recognition for his excellent service and welcoming smile.

Wir Reisen viel und durften schon einige Länder und darunter auch viele 5 Sterne Hotels kennen lernen Eine Erfahrung wie im Dhigali hatten wir allerdings noch nie ☺️ Top Hotel mit allem was man sich wünscht und noch einiges mehr. Zusätzlich zu der tollen Umgebung wunderschöner Strand, Meer ( ja das erwartet man sich schon irgendwie auf den Malediven 😉) war für uns die Freundlichkeit und herzliche Art der Mitarbeiter noch mal etwas besonderes. Nach 5 Tagen haben wir uns immer noch gefragt ist das hier Wirklichkeit Generell war man gefühlt alleine am Strand Unser BeachBungalow günstigste Kategorie - wunderschön nichts zu beanstanden. Sehr sauber geräumig modern. Außenband eine Klasse für sich ☺️ eigener Strandbereich mit eigenen Liegen und Sonnenschirm Einziges Manko die etwas härteren Betten -auch wir bekamen sofort einen Topper und Decken darüber gelegt Immer sauber 2x täglich Zimmerservice + Kontrolle der Minibar die auch aufgefüllt wurde Hauptrestaurant war absolut top und hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen Ich bin nicht die einfachste beim Essen habe aber immer problemlos etwas gefunden Dhigali wurde von uns auch aufgrund der Möglichkeit mehrere Restaurants nutzen zu können ausgewählt Hätte es aber keine Alternative gegeben hätte uns auch nichts gefehlt Battuta sehr zu empfehlen auch weil man landestypische Gerichte bekommt Die Kellner kennen einen nach ein paar Tagen und immer ein persönliches Gespräch, einfach anders ☺️ Zum Riff - teilweise tote Korallen und die korallenbleiche und auch leider kein Schutz für rücksichtslose Menschen die auf den Korallen stehen, es gibt aber auch sehr schöne Korallen intakt - hoffentlich bleibt dies so Sehr viele Fische und natürlich auch Haie ☺️ Der Dschungel mit seinen Bewohnern in der Inselmitte war für uns auch ein Highlight SPA nicht günstig aber auch hier alles absolut Top Es war unsere erstes mal Malediven und sicher nicht das letzte mal, Dhigali wir freuen uns schon wieder zu kommen ☺️ Fad wurde uns nie, es fehlte an nichts Gäste von überall und unterschiedlichem Alter, niemand ist unangenehm aufgefallen Wir mussten um halb 7 mit dem Wasserflieger weg, bekamen unser Frühstück am Abreisetag ins Zimmer und wurden mit dem Boot zum Flieger gebracht.

The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the check-out experience was equally seamless. The dining options were fantastic, offering a diverse and delicious menu. A heartfelt thank you to Christian Szabo for consistently ensuring customer satisfaction; his dedication truly stood out. Kudos to Simba for the amazing animation that added a unique touch to our experience. Special appreciation to the entire team at Casper's Restaurant and all the bars/cafe – their warmth and service made our dining experiences memorable. Your staff's commitment to excellence is commendable, creating a lasting impression on our stay.. The resort's commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every aspect. Ending our stay with the guests contribution in Christmas tree decorations on the beach was truly amazing. It added a special festive touch that made our experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this paradise for anyone seeking a luxurious and rejuvenating getaway. Thank you for a truly memorable stay – we can't wait to return!

We are currently at Dhigali and the welcome from staff and their persistent ‘can do’ attitude is refreshing. I am coeliac and they were very accommodating and helpful with my requests. Nothing has been too much trouble me. Lots of smiling faces from the staff. Pool beach villa is very nice and well equipped albeit one extra toilet would have been helpful. Thank you Dhigali staff, we will be back.

Dhigali, Maldives (December 17-22, 2023) If you want to hit the vacation running, you must arrive at Male from the Middle East (arrival at 7 am)! Or Moscow and London will also do (around 9&10 am). Typically it takes another 2 and half to 3 hours thereafter to reach your resort. So if you have arrived from the Middle East, you should reach your resort by say 10 am. If you arrive from India, your first paid day is wasted! (as was mine). Your flight will be scheduled to arrive in Male at 3:30 p.m. will be delayed and you will arrive anytime between 4-4:30 p.m. then you wait for one hour for your connection before you get the connecting plane +boat or boat, that takes another 1 1/2-2 hours to your resort. (No sea planes after 3:30 p.m.). So you arrive at your resort around 8:30 p.m. in the dark, your mood is off you have missed the entire paid day! Thanks to airlines, governments and may be the resorts as well (they didn’t need to host you although they charged you, conveniently blaming airlines and government policies). You didn’t enjoy the sea, the drinks, the pool, the food, the ambience, the sunset. Nothing. But you paid for it! Ordinarily resort arrivals are just before lunch and you start with that. (Indian travelers are cheated of this) Official checkin is 2 p.m. and official checkout is 12 p.m. And if you have rain and choppy waters then you will miss the dolphin cruise, sunset cruise, the kayaking and pretty much all the real fun. PS: snorkelling is overrated, bordering on scam. Ordinary vacationers are not athletic or real divers and swimmers. You can wade into water and see all that can be seen in shallow waters. The Glass Bottom Boat (if available at your resort) is not to be missed! In an earlier (2021) vacation to Maldives, Planes from New Delhi arrived at very good time (7:30 am) to Male and we arrived at the resort (Kuramathi) by around 12:30 p.m.

We enjoyed a fantastic week at Dhigali in water villa 617. We flew into Singapore 10pm the night prior so stayed overnight at hotel H78 where we were informed that we would be picked up at 6 am for our seaplane at 7am the next day. Amazingly arrived at Dhigali in time for breakfast and our water villa was ready! Absolutely loved the location, so convenient close to Capers and fabulous snorkeling from the steps of the villa with just a short swim to the drop off. In fact I thought this stretch of drop off in front of the water villas was the best for snorkelling. There's a spot just past the last water villa heading towards East Bar where a pipe discharges water after desalination for drinking and the fish love this spot! Huge schools of wide mouthed mackerel and so much marine life to see there. I also enjoyed the snorkeling around the East Beach, very calm, not much current and plenty to see including an octopus! I felt snorkeling in front of the beach bungalow and deluxe beach bungalow areas was much less interesting as it’s a long way to the drop off , and not much marine life to see other than some fish around the rock walls. The island never seemed crowded to us, the only time we saw lots of people was at the cultural night. The buffet never seemed crowded and the standard of food at the buffet was excellent. There was live cooking station making eggs in at breakfast , and a wonderful lady made the most delicious grilled fish and meats at lunch! We prebooked all speciality restaurants by email prior to arrival. Dinner bookings start at 7 pm which is enough time to enjoy the sunset with a cocktail at Haali bar and then get to dinner. We particularly liked Battuta, then Faru. One night we ate at Capers and I have to say the food was outstanding. Mosquitos did not bother us at our water villa at all. However in areas with more vegetation like near the café, reception and table tennis/ pool table area the mosquitos were numerous. The cocktail menu is somewhat limited however we found the staff were happy to make any cocktail we requested that was not on the menu, like pina coladas, expresso martinis etc. Wifi was great throughout the island. Staff were all very friendly and Simba who takes the aqua exercise classes in the pool is an absolute scream! If you want a good laugh join in his pool classes – it was one of the highlights of our trip – I laughed so much! If I had to pick one thing that could be improved it would be the pillows. I found them all too soft and despite asking for firmer ones , which they promptly brought, I still found them too soft. I had the same issue on Kuramthi last year. So perhaps that is something management could look at , having some firm pillows for guests who prefer this. All in all it was an absolutely wonderful stay and I would highly recommend booking at Dhigali.

A beautiful island with a stunning canopy of natural trees and foliage. Four excellent restaurants (all in package) and really lovely food. A great variation of food choices and great friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff that work here. Lots of Maldivian staff too which is great. The diving and snorkelling are excellent too. Dive staff are incredible. The only shame is not being able to walk all the way around the island on the glorious sandy beach. There are several areas where you have to use the inland path. It’s still beautiful but I prefer being able to walk the whole circumference of the island. The views, team and restaurants more than make up for that tiny blip. The house reef has fantastic snorkelling and a vast array of eatery fish you could want to see. The spa is excellent if not a little pricey!

Wir waren im Jahr 2019 schon auf Dhigali also sind wir „Wiederholer“ und haben uns damals in diese Insel verliebt. Dann kam die Pandemie etc. Mir ist bewusst dass es grosse Veränderungen gegeben hat. Auch das Management ist ein anderes. Hier möchte ich Chris ein Lob aussprechen er war sehr nett sehr offen und hatte immer Zeit 2-3 Worte mit uns zu sprechen. Ausserdem ist nach so einer Pandemie sicher nicht einfach alles wieder zum Laufen zu bringen. DANKE an dich Chris Vorab möchte ich sagen wir werden hier eine sehr ehrliche Bewertung geben weil uns das Hotel wirklich am Herzen liegt und wir möchten dass es weiterhin unser Favorit Hotel bleibt. Positiv: - Sehr herzliches Personal, offen und bunt gemixt, einfach wunderbare Menschen. Spezielles Lob an Cathy, Muneer, die Jungs an der Bar und auch das Personal im Faru und Jade. Wir werden euch vermissen. - All Inkl. Premium ist eine absolut gelungene Sache! Man kommt voll auf seine Kosten und kriegt mehr als genug für sein Geld - Dhigali ist sehr naturbelassen und das lieben wir. Es hat eine üppige Vegetation die wunderschön ist. - Essen war sensationell in allen Restaurants. Das Capers (Hauptrestaurant) hat eine riesengroße Auswahl und war sehr lecker. Auch ein Kids Buffet ist vorhanden. - Pizzas waren ebenfalls gut. Super mit diesen Take-Away System - Cocktails sind Klasse - Zimmer sind modern, sehr grossräumig und haben viel Stauraum wir hatten 3 Tage Deluxe Beach Bungalow 223 und danach 9 Tage Beachvilla 362. (Dazu unten mehr) - Unsere Beachvilla 362 war ein highlight wir hatten eine Wunderschöne Lagune vor der Villa und das Riff war auch schnell erreichbar. Grosse Plus, die Villa hat ein wunderschönes Bad! - Check in und Check out ist perfekt organisiert Inkl. dem super Empfang am Flughafen - Spa Behandlungen waren auch 5 Sterne - Schnorcheln ist ein grosses Highlight auf Dhigali. Ja das Riff ist leider noch ziemlich kaputt aber es erholt sich langsam es wird auch einiges dafür gemacht, jedoch ist die Vielfalt an Meeresbewohner auf Dhigali erstaunlich. Es war wunderschön - Kids Play Club war auch super für unsere Kleine (bald 2 Jährig) Sie durfte eine Kokosnuss bemalen und sich dort austoben wenn das Wetter nicht so gut war. - Pool-Bereich inkl. Strandteil ist wunderschön und einer unserer Lieblingbereiche. - Die Dhigali App mit diesem Shuttle-Buggy Ortungssystem ist immer noch top, auch das man vieles über die App direkt machen kann. - Sauberkeit im Zimmer und allgemein war super. - Abendprogramm war für uns auch gut. Uns reicht gute live Musik am Strand wir brauchen keine grossen Partys 😊 Cathy hat eine wunderbare Stimme, der Herr mit dem Saxophon ist auch klasse und der Dj ist ebenfalls super. - Dhigali hat 1x pro Woche Kinoabend am Strand das fanden wir auch sehr schön. - Die kleinen Abschiedsgeschenke an unsere Tochter und an uns haben uns gerührt DANKE♥️ Kleine Minuspunkte: - Ein doch etwas grösserer Minuspunkt für uns war, dass die Haalibar wegen Bauarbeiten zu war. Ja das muss auch mal sein aber wieso man das nicht früh genug auf der Homepage/Instagram kommuniziert ist mir immer noch schleierhaft. Wie haben uns in diese Bar im 2019 verliebt und haben auch, unter anderem deswegen nochmals Dhigali gewählt. - Pizzastation war ebenfalls zu, ja man konnte trotzdem Pizzas holen im Jade aber es waren keine Pizzas aus dem italienischen Steinofen und das merkt man. - Dhigali hat ein einzigartiges Glasbodenboot vor allem sehr spannend für Kinder jedoch war auch dieses in der Reparatur wir konnten den Ausflug mit unserer Tochter leider nicht machen. - Im Vergleich zu 2019 hat es auf der Seite der Beachbungallows extrem viele tote Korallen am Strand und am Ufer man kann da unmöglich ohne Schuhe reinlaufen. Habe mich zwei Mal geschnitten. Lieber eine Beachvilla buchen auf der anderen Inselseite! Bei diesem Punkt kann das Hotel leider nicht viel machen. - Im Faru waren leider an 2 Abenden die von uns gewählten Hauptspeisen UND die Vorspeisen nicht mehr vorrätig. Das ist uns im 2019 nie passiert. - Shack Bar ist leider keine Alternative die an die Haalibar rankommt Auch hier haben wir ein paar Mal nicht das gewünschte Getränk bekommen. Ich denke weil die Bar nur vorläufig existiert bzw improvisiert wurde. Alles in allem überwiegen die positiven Punkte viel viel mehr und wir sind nach wie vor sehr grosse Dhigali Fans und vermissen die Insel wirklich sehr. Auch würden wir definitiv nochmals zurückkehren für einen kurzen Aufenthalt und um die Sehnsucht zu stillen. Da wir aber einen Vergleich zum 2019 haben und dieser Aufenthalt damals einfach in allen Belangen perfekt war kann ich keine 5* geben für dieses Jahr. Man bezahlt viel Geld für Malediven Ferien und viele sparen Jahre dafür dann möchte man auch von allem was vorhanden ist profitieren, leider war zu viel im Umbau oder in der Reparatur oder nicht vorrätig usw. Das war wirklich etwas schade. Danke für alles liebes Dhigali-Team wir hoffen euch bald wieder zu sehen. Es war wieder toll bei euch. Daniela, Alex und Inaya

Шикарный отель! Шикарное обслуживание и гастрономический рай. Сильный для Мальдив all inclusive, хорошая винная и коктейльная карты. Широкое разнообразие блюд в ресторанах. Шведский стол, кафе и 3 ресторана аля карт. Мне особенно полюбились рестораны Batuta и Jade. Если остановитесь здесь, обязательно попробуйте в Batuta малазийский суп и Chicken butter. В Jade Wonton soup и ягненка. В основном ресторане совершенно фантастический Chicken curry. В отеле хороший риф. Много рыб, видели черепаху, рифовых акул и ската. Говорят, заглядывает еще осьминог, но нам не встретился. Невероятно внимательный персонал, откликающийся на любую просьбу. На острове есть москиты, но на ресепшен могут дать мазь как от укусов, так и после укусов. В all inclusive входят 2 экскурсии: прогулка на лодке со стеклянным дном и на выбор: прогулка к дельфинам или романтическая прогулка на закате. Мы выбирали дельфинов, их встретили, было незабываемо! Если в следующий раз соберемся на Мальдивы, наш выбор однозначно будет в пользу этого отеля

Vom Empfang am Flughafen Malé bis zur Abreise war alles einfach perfekt. Wir wurden von zuwinkendem Personal herzlich auf Dhigali begrüsst und von da an wurde uns jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen und erfüllt. Wir hatten eine Lagoon Villa (Overwater mit Pool) und diese war atemberaubend und super ausgestattet mit einem gemütlichen Bett und einem riesigen Badezimmer. Das Housekeeping war grossartig und sehr freundlich. Es war alles sehr sauber und die Minibar war immer aufgefüllt. Kulinarisch lässt Dhigali keine Wünsche offen. Sei es im Capers (Buffet) und aber auch in den 3 à la carte Restaurants Jade, Faru und Battuta konnte man hervorragend essen. Überall war die Qualität sehr gut und auch das Personal war immer sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Barkeeper lassen keine Wünsche offen und mixen alles was das Herz begehrt. Das ganze Resort ist in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand. Uns hat auch beeindruckt, dass der österreichische General Manager sich töglich nach dem Befinden der Gäste erkundigt, bei der Ankunft und auch bei der Abreise persönlich anwesend ist. Man fühlt sich einfach von allen herzlich willkommen, jeder ist freundlich und hat immer ein lächeln auf den Lippen. Für uns war es die beste Insel auf den Malediven die wir bis jetzt besucht habn und wir werden sicher wieder kommen.

Wir waren Ende Oktober/ Anfang November auf den Malediven. Nach einem 10 Std. Flug wurden wir am Flughafen von Resortmitarbeitern begrüßt und zum anliegenden Wasserflugzeug Terminal gebracht. Von da aus ging es dann in einem 45 Minuten Flug auf unsere Insel. Angekommen, haben uns der österreichische General Manager und ein kleines Team an Mitarbeitern persönlich begrüßt-fanden wir super und hat uns gleich ein schönes Willkommensgefühl gegeben:-) Unsere Deluxe Villa mit offenem Bad war sehr schön und ausreichend groß für uns 3. Wir hatten das all inclusive Paket gebucht gehabt (absolut empfehlenswert!) Somit waren alle alkoholischen und nicht-alkoholischen Getränke und Snacks frei in der Minibar. Einziges Manko war das sehr harte Bett. Aber hier wurde uns dann mit einem Topper geholfen :-) Das Resort ist in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand, alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr sehr nett, angefangen vom house keeping über die Rezeption bis hin zu den Angestellten in den Restaurants. Wir waren immer im Hauptrestaurant bis auf den letzten Tage. Grund war der französische Chefkoch! Das Essen war abwechslungsreich (jeden Tag ein anderes Motto), die Auswahl riesig und ALLES von hervorragender Qualität und Frische. Eine Woche Essen im Schlaraffenland, ein Wahnsinn! Der Strand rund um die Insel ist typisch Maledivisch malerisch. Wir haben Fische, Riffhaie und Roche gesehen ganz nah am Strand. Da die Schnorchelausrüstung frei war, konnte man jeden Tag schnorcheln gehen. Man konnte bis ca. 50-80 Meter rausschwimmen zu den Riffen. Alles in allem können wir das Resort nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen, da wir wirklich (bis auf das harte Bett-aber das ist ja Geschmackssache) gar keine Beanstandungen hatten. Wenn wir wieder auf die Malediven fliegen, werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder ins Dhigali kommen:-) Kleiner Tipp zum Schluss: Den Rückflug mit dem Wasserflugzeug zeitlich so planen, dass man genug Puffer hat um seinen Rückflug zu bekommen! Und damit meine ich, dass man z.B. einen Sturm aussitzen kann, der im indischen Ozean schon mal 1-1,5 Std dauern kann und alles dicht ist ;-)

We have just come back from a truly magical family holiday to this idyllic island. There just are not enough words in the english language to describe how good this place really is. We went on holiday as a family of 5 which included are eldest grandson who is 7. The start of the holiday started superbly, we were met from the sea plane by the resort manager Christian & some of his team. Christian is also very visible on resort which was very ressauring. The check in process was swift and efficient, and we were kindly given a temporary room as our rooms were not ready, this was a nice & unexpected touch. My wife and i stayed in the lagoon villa room 713 and the rest of our family stayed in the beach villa with pool, room 412. Both rooms were simply amazing, and we loved the view from our lagoon villa, overlooking the famous haali bar. The food on this resort is plentiful with many options and the quality is simply 5 stars ! What is also brilliant about this resort is the app they have. It is an absolute must, and you can even track the buggies to see where it is on the island if your legs get tired :) The snorkeling is also fantastic. Every morning about 6.30 am I went straight out the Halli bar and straight into the sea & seen reef sharks without fail ! What we did find useful was we booked all our dinner reservations in advance I would highly recommend doing this. So to sum up I would highly highly recommend this resort for anyone looking at going to Dhigali as a family or as a couple. All the staff were amazing and I am sorry if I forgot anyone but these guys were just the best Dhonbe,Suma, AG, Patu, Zayydd,Supun,Jenau & Maail & Manday in water sports. Thank you all again and we hope to be back one day :) Guy,Siobhan,Kyle, Melanie & Jack

Все отзывы пишу подробно по каждому пункту) Если хочется коротко о главном, то: 1. Очень живописный многообразный риф 2. Отель очень клиентоориентирован Руководитель отеля решает любые вопросы в сторону ваших пожеланий, всегда на месте, если на ресепшене Ваш вопрос не решили - то он решит его в секунду 3. Очень вкусная еда, очень большой выбор еды в любой части острова, хорошее обслуживание 4. Хорошая уборка дважды в день 5. Огромный выбор бесплатного алкоголя в номере (UAL) 6. Быстрое заселение 7. На острове достаточно развлечений (но тут есть замечания для тех, кто выбирает водную виллу без бассейна) 9. Бесплатное снаряжение для снорклинга и есть несколько бесплатных экскурсий 10. Средний массаж, больше похож на поглаживания (брала 2 разных), но очень атмосферный спа, поэтому всё-равно рекомендую 11. Весь персонал улыбчивый, здороваются абсолютно все. Итак, поехали)) Начну с легких минусов, которые говорят о плюсах персонала. Мы были на острове в октябре, где из 9 дней пребывания - 7 шли не прекращающиеся дожди. Они вообще не затихали, ни днем, ни ночью. Это редкость для Мальдив, но мы словили джекпот. В наш отдых выпали все месячные осадки. Омрачило ли отдых? Нисколько! И тут важно перейти к одному минусу, ставшим плюсом Заселившись в водную виллу 620, вечером я поняла, что кровать вибрирует от дискотеки возле главного ресторана, который находится поблизости (что удобно по утрам). По звонку на ресепшн музыку сделали тише, но ее всё-равно было слышно. А играет она аж до 00:00. В целом, рекомендовала бы подумать, куда сдвинуть диджея, который может мешать тем, кто едет за тотальным релаксом Однако, нам предложили переехать в виллу чуть дальше или бесплатно апгрейдить с 5 дня пребывания на водную виллу с бассейном в другой части острова. По итогу мы сами от себя не ожидали, но все вечера проводили на этой дискотеке, поэтому музыка не смущала совершенно. Переезжать не стали. Но нам предложили разные варианты на следующее же утро. Отель клиентоориентирован. Помимо прочего, из-за погоды нам сделали 10% скидку на все массажи и подарили вторую рыбалку на всю компанию ребят, с которыми мы познакомились на острове, в связи с тем, что бесплатные экскурсии на закат и на дельфинов отменялись из-за непогоды. На первую рыбалку мы отправились в легкий шторм и это незабываемые впечатления! Сколько стоила - не помню, мы делили на компанию. Очень классная рыбалка, на леску, очень затягивает, а шторм добавил свою изюминку на обратном пути))) P.S: я начала с легких минусов, потому что они показывают, как хорошо отель относится к своим гостям и быстро идет на встречу. ГЛАВНОЕ ПОДРОБНО: Встречает команда персонала, моментальное заселение, при регистрации предложили напитки и влажные ароматные полотенца Риф! Он просто невероятный! Мы встретили всех рыб, которые есть в моей брошюре «рыбы Мальдив», которую я купила в том году. Хирурги, крылатка, рыба камень, триггер (осторожнее с ним), 3 вида скатов, акулы няньки, черепаха, стаи разных рыб, кого мы только не видели! Кстати, черепаха живет на рифе возле водных вилл, которые без бассейна. Знаю, что ее часто ищут. Ее дом возле 620-630 вилл. Мы плавали на рифе возле бара-гнезда (где коса), около главного ресторана за волнорезом (там просто сказка невероятная! Просто сказка!!! Не бойтесь заплывать, там безопасно) и возле нашей водной виллы. Рыбы есть везде и их разнообразие поражает. Вход везде, где я описала - прекрасный, пологий, песчаный, без кораллов Водная вилла/оснащение: помимо белого и красного вина, в стоимость номера включены водка, тоник (к нему есть швепс в холодильнике), коньяк. В холодильнике тоже включено всё, помимо двух соков. Есть платная корзина и платный винный холодильник, кому не хватило:)) Пополняется ежедневно всё. Фен есть, косметика хорошая. Есть душик на лестнице, чтобы обмыться после купания. Розетки не европейские, но переходник не понадобился. Наши розетки к ним подходили + есть дополнительно usb порты. На номере акцент делать не буду - он хороший, нареканий нет. Сам отель утопает в зелени. Насколько слышала, при строительстве мешающие деревья пересаживали и ни одно не было вырублено Спа хоть и средний, но очень атмосферный. Несмотря на первый массаж, сравнимый с поглаживаниями, с удовольствием пошла на второй. В дождь вообще идеально! Продающиеся благовонии - восторг. Привезла подруге в подарок и жалею, что не купила себе. Не поджигая палочки, они очень вкусно пахнут. Эти же палочки поджигают в санузлах на территории отеля. Еда - превосходная, не оторваться! Умеют готовить яйца Бенедикт, а также на завтрак всегда был мисо суп (к слову о разнообразии еды). Также на завтрак были разные экзотические фрукты, вкуснейшая маракуйя. По еде ни одного нарекания. Про брони в рестораны а ля карт: не надейтесь на приложение, там вечно всё занято. Девушки на ресепшене и менеджер возле кофейни моментально бронируют местечко в любой ресторан на любую дату т.к у них больше сведений о наличии мест. Мы ходили в разные рестораны по несколько раз и даже порой скучали по основному ресторану т.к еда там ничуть не хуже. Бронировали рестораны часто день в день через ресепшн. Выше я упомянула про кофейню: На острове рядом со спортзалом есть кофейня, где варят очень вкусный кофе (мы с мужем любители кофе и качество оценили). Можно брать навынос, что актуально т.к по острову нужно много ходить. Шатлы ходят регулярно, но мы быстрее доходили до нужной точки. В пиццерии на косе пиццу дают навынос в коробках (попробуйте с тунцом. Жалеем, что не брали с первых дней именно ее). Там же ресторан а ля карт работает без записи в обед. Обедали только там, блюда по меню и всё очень вкусно. Пробуйте разные блюда, найдете своего любимчика 100%. Ужины там тоже вкусные, но в а ля карт возле основного ресторана понравилось больше. Основной ресторан по блюдам тоже не уступает. Батута атмосферный, но еда острая, однако посетить стоить и почитать историю блюд ресторана на главной странице меню (меню на русском у них есть, просите). Дайвинг центр. Русскоязычных инструкторов нет, по этой причине я так и не решилась на погружение. Есть парк джунглей на острове. Это небольшая тропа, вдоль которой подписаны растущие там деревья (миндальное дерево и т.п). Приложение отеля устанавливается сразу при заселении, оно на русском, внутри расписание активностей и иная информация. Интернет на территории отеля хороший. Отель сочетает в себе приватность, умеренный релакс (не тотальный) и сдержанную активность. По вечерам на косе живая легкая музыка. Затем музыкальная программа перемещается в другую часть острова к главному ресторану, где с 21 до 00ч активная дискотека. Там же в продаже есть платные сигары, кальян, в бассейне плавает поднос с напитками)) Мы были на Мальдивах второй раз и для второго посещения - прекрасно! Для первого я бы рассмотрела чуточку другой отель из-за береговой линии, вдоль которой не погуляешь из-за наличия приватных пляжных вилл, но это сугубо мое мнение. К посещению однозначно рекомендую. Постаралась максимально описать все нюансы.

Don’t like leaving bad reviews .. but …Decided to return to Dhigali for a second time despite there being so many other beautiful islands. I feel our loyalty has been misplaced. Received a letter to say the iconic ( hotel’s words) Hali Bar and pizza shack closed with immediate effect for maintenance. No notice. Surely when this is the island’s signature feature you owe it to forewarn guests prior to arrival that it was going to close. An unsightly makeshift beach gazebo put in its place. Seriously? We came back here specifically for this atmospheric bar and pizzas for the kids.. even located our villas close to them. Gave the hotel management the opportunity to explain and apologise but got a standard reply ..maintenance work needed. We see there are other villas being maintained during our stay also which detracts from the island vibe we loved first time round . Island remains beautiful but I would seriously reconsider booking here if they are happy to treat existing guests on the island in this way. Other places such as Oblu Hengeli close to guests when they underwent a refurb. Bad decision Dhigali! ( feel like I’m channelling Julia Roberts) .. short term decision, long term implications . I was recommending this island to many of our friends but will warn them not to bother now. With few drinking/eating options compared to other islands it is unacceptable to cut facilities without notice, especially when the Hali bar is a key feature. Dive school fab though and jigging fishing trip. When travelling so far and spending so much ££££ , wish we had gone somewhere else now. Such a shame

Fantastic island. We are very satisfied with the rooms and restaurants that were not commented on. Also, the people who work there were very kind and I found them very nice, especially the girl named Hadhoum was very good and kind, we will miss her🥺.

We chose this hotel for our first wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, we received a drink, a towel to freshen up and filled out the form. They explained to us how the application works, which I rate very positively, with it you can order ala carte dinners, excursions, see the menu from the restaurant and you can watch the bus take you to where you need, in that warm and sultry excellent service. We had room 417, a reptile villa with a pool. Amazing privacy and beautiful room. Everything was happening in the village of satisfaction, for the anniversary of the wedding we had a decorated room - a bed, a cake and congratulations from the hotel. My husband took off his ring on the first day, he was afraid that it wouldn't come off his finger in the water and put it in the safe. When we moved after 6 days to a water villa with a pool, we forgot it in the safe, the next day we realized that we had left it there, we immediately went to report to the reception that it had stayed there, unfortunately we were told that it was not there. We were very sorry, our fault, but we hoped that whoever found it would return it to the reception, after all it was a wedding ring and not keep it. If it was something else, we'll understand, but here we were hoping for the decency of the people. The water villa with a pool was again beautiful, the bar replenished daily, a very nice cleaner and the kitchen was absolutely excellent. Twice we paid for a trip to see manta rays, which was my husband's dream to see them, we were lucky that they were there. The sunsets were gorgeous. With this, we thank the hotel for the stay, the fact that someone took a ring and did not return it, it spoiled our mood, but it is a lesson for future guests that we have to be more careful and unfortunately, even in such a luxurious hotel, someone takes an item and does not return it. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay, the cooks, maids, and cleaners were very nice in the water villa, we liked to tip them for their services. With this, we salute the chef for breakfast, his eggs Benedict were fantastic and he always prepared them for us with a smile. The sea is beautiful, beautiful corals and a large number of fish. We recommend the hotel, just don't forget anything in the room, you won't come across that again. It's a shame, but we still thank you for everything for 12 nights in a nice environment.

We travelled to Dhigalli by seaplane from Maldives main land with our young kids. The island is truly spectacular and definitely an experience of a lifetime for my kids. We experienced a mix of sunny hot days with heavy showers in between. One is able to walk around without the need for the shuttle but it is convenient to get when we had some rain showers. I would suggest the use of a lightweight buggy for babies and toddlers. The beautiful natural sounds of the birds, bats and island life is a beauty to wake up to. The rooms were comfortable and opens up to your own private beach front. The room we stayed in had a lovely outdoor rain shower and the baths are outside too- all completely private. My son was unwell and the island doctor attended to him within minutes. The buffet restaurant is a good mix of a variety of Maldivian foods and Mediterranean food and consistent with what you would expect at most resorts. There was also good variety at the other restaurant as well as the pizza place but the service was somewhat lacking, Our waiter was excellent and really good with the kids, she was professional and attentive to our preferences. The kitchen staff- I must commend them for their kindness and hard-work behind the scene. The kids club was a lovely bonus to our stay as our kids enjoyed going there. As with many other islands, the mosquitos are a nightmare and I would suggest other travellers to carry very strong repellant and after bite ointment Overall it was a lovely experience and I would recommend

This is our 13th trip to the Maldives and 9th different island and our second time to Dhigali after a wonderful trip last year that was so good we decided to come back and see if it was even better than the first trip. It was. Or trip wad expertly arranged by Angelfish Travel, the Indian Ocean specialist operator we have been using for over a decade. Again, we had a glorious two week stay and there is lot to recommend the island so much so it is remains as one of our favourites from all our Maldivian visits. The sea plane journey is the way to go and to arrive with great views en route. It’s a shame there is no lounge in the new seaplane terminal at Male – you feel a bit lost in the generic waiting area and its underwhelming and not a special start to the trip. That said it all changes on arrival. I had a several pre trip requests, particularly around room location and food intolerances and it was really pleasing to be met by the F&B Manager on arrival to confirm details. Dhigali is a lush natural island and in a year we could see how the landscaping has gently manicured the walkways and the calm natural feeling remains. We were again located in a Beach Villa north of the dive centre jetty, half way to the Haali bar. There is sporadic erosion here so it’s important to check that your beach villa is not one of those with a big and awkward step down from the villa to the beach. As you move further towards the wonderful Haali bar the beach is wider. We were offered an upgrade halfway through our stay but we declined as we were very settled in our Beach Villa. The only difference I can see is the plunge pool at the front which is not that deep. The Beach villas are surprisingly big inside, wide and there is plenty of storage space, a decent mini bar refreshed daily (which we asked to bespoke) and the patio area is nice and large and we had good private access to the beach which was usually quiet. The north side of the island has fine sandy beach whereas the south side has far more broken coral washed up, but it makes nice walks around the island, although having beach shoes can be helpful. The restaurants are excellent in particular especially Jade, Faru and Batutta. I would thoroughly recommend making all your dinner reservations before arriving on the island as it is relatively impossible to make reservations or adjust them when you arrive as they seem fully booked on the app. We did this through Angelfish. The menus and the presentation of the food at Faru, Batutta and Jade is fine dining quality and the service is excellent throughout. Being dairy intolerant, I found that the a la carte restaurants could make the appropriate adjustments to the dishes. I really like how Jade has been transformed by closing off the connection to Capers and it feels like an exclusive environment, The food is delicious. Capers the buffet restaurant has an extensive layout in a large airconditioned room in the evening and at breakfast. For dinner there is a different theme every night but I had to challenge several times the food allergens labelling being inconsistent or downright wrong – I was very ill one night so avoided it afterwards and for food intolerances the choice is very limited at lunch time. I would also suggest, which I did on the island that the staff needed educating on food intolerances as there were knowledge gaps and a lack of understanding. The change from the small bbq style set up last year to the ‘full’ buffet was not welcomed. Breakfast was a typical extensive spread and everything was covered and there is good gluten free corner too. There is also a very busy pizzeria which is a great idea and pizzas served in a box can be taken back to your villa or eaten on the beach or at the nearby Haali. There is also an excellent café which is good to stop at if you are nearby and has a small but good selection of snacks – very little if you are dairy intolerant though - don’t leave it too late in the day as they run out of everything plus you can get your coffee or smoothie fix. The nearby gym and games area are good too. Diving is my own main reason in visiting. With the dive centre expertly led and managed by Jeanine and with wonderful divemasters Marc and Tomoko you are assured of professionalism, excellent equipment, safety, deep knowledge of the area and the dive sites and marine wildlife. I enjoyed excellent dives, swimming through schools of fish, enjoying the resurgence of coral life, watched schools of sharks, enjoyed swooping mantas with clear visibility. My ten year old enjoyed continuing his introduction to diving down to 12 metres too and has fallen in love with diving, encouraged and supported by the team. For myself as an experienced diver of over 30 years I can highly recommend diving on Dhigali - I always felt comfortable under water and on the boat; the boat crew are extremely friendly and so willing to help; Nitrox is provided free along with tanks and weights and the equipment (I brought my own) is assembled and disassembled for you and is always ready for you every dive. Marc and Tomoko are excellent marine photographers and generous in sharing their images. Thanks to Marc for ingeniously sorting out my dive computer strap, mask burning to stop the fogging and ensuring stress free diving. Thank you too to Jeanine and Tomoko for ensuring my son thoroughly enjoyed his dives and felt calm and confident throughout. The Haali bar is a highlight of the island, located by the sand spit and has great sunsets where a lot of the islands migrates to, lounging on a large beach bean bag with a cocktail or two with live music – a saxophonist and a singer providing the right atmosphere. I would recommend visiting this bar with its cavernous roof, great mixologists daily and not just at sunset. Thoroughly lovely. My wife visited the spa several times again on a package, with all appointments made by email beforehand and she reports back that the treatments and therapists are very good indeed and she enjoyed her visits. The relaxing area afterwards is a little underwhelming, more like a check out area and sign here area. It was always busy and the therapists are very good indeed. It would be good if there was a spa area like jacuzzi open to non spa visitors - if it is, it is not obvious to islanders or welcoming enough. There is a discount also available to repeat customers like us which is of course welcome. The repeater benefits is nice but actually I had to mention it to staff as they seemed unsure about it on our arrival. My wife used the discount in the spa and we had a delightful in house lunch at our villa and received a nice gift on our departure. The kids club is staffed by very friendly staff. The activities are somewhat skewed to the younger girl and so your 11 year old son will find relatively less to occupy them. The outdoor area needs improvement and the water area is only switched on twice a day and the outside area can only be accessed when the staff schedule it. There are no activities that we have seen on other islands, like a pirate boat ride, beach activities or pizza making so it had less attraction. This can all be improved on. The island uses an excellent app when you can read what the events are, for example we were there at Easter and a few events were taking place. No information is provided in the room or on sheets at breakfast or on blackboards so you are very dependent on the app. It’s great to see where the nearest buggy is. The app has a mine of information and usually though not always shows you your restaurant reservations but as mentioned previously it’s hard to find availability although there is a restaurant reservations office (next to the excellent café) and the lady there does her best to help. Easter was good fun in the pool at lunch time, although I think the food and the theming on Easter Sunday at Capers was underwhelming and we wished we stuck to our restaurant reservation instead in the evening. For my birthday the island was amazing – stunning bed arrangement, dairy and gluten free delicious birthday cake and a lovely table setting at Faru at dinner time. As per last year, you have to take good repellent. The island does fog but we were all again well bitten by flying insects especially near vegetation – near the patio or in restaurants with a lot of foliage. The fogging is not that effective, they do not go round the villas (this does contrast with a visit we had to Finolhu who must use an excellent product as we were bite free there). I am not convinced it was mosquitos always biting but there are plenty of flying midges and gnats around. The management as opposed to our first visit were very present and engaging – apart from the overall manager we met everyone and they actively sought feedback which is very good. There were management drinks once a week which was good to see introduced. The pool has a lot of potential but still lacks recliner seating by the pool despite a large amount of available decking, so much so that parents sit perched on chairs watching their children unless they are comfortable sitting a long way away on the beach. There are loads of loose tiles, beach chairs not cleared of towels that quickly and covered in sand. When the DJ was there the atmosphere was great and when there was aqua aerobics but the enthusiastic instructor then that all added to the atmosphere. There was a silent disco which was really good fun (extra $ for the headphones) - never done before but it was so cool especially when you could choose between 3 DJs! Water sports are great - we particularly enjoy the kayaking. Dhigali is a wonderful island which became one our favourites and they have made so many positive improvements in one year. It’s a delight to visit, still needs a few tweaks and we hope to return again for a third visit.

Наш гидросамолет встречала целевая делегация отеля на пирсе: стояли и радостно махали прибывшим туристам. Это было приятно. Регистрация прошла быстро, вещи сразу отвезли в номер, а нас знакомили с отелем и установили приложение отеля, удобно видеть все брони, локации, движение шатла и другие полезные вещи. Нам в подарок сразу забронировали две экскурсии: на дельфинов и на лодку со стеклянным дном. Также на ужины в рестораны. На территории три ресторана. Обедать нравилось в Faru, на ужин ходить в Batuta. Но для детей везде выбор не большой. Уборка проходила два раза в день, убирали хорошо. Минибар в номере включает вино, виски, джин, пиво, водку, колу, швепс, спрайт и чипсы. Есть платная корзина. В подарок отель при выезде поставил бутылку шампанского и набор конфет. Шикарные вид на закат в баре возле Faru. Там же идет шоу программа. У нас был номер 355, из него был выход к морю, где был очень хороший свал и большое количество рыб. Также возле берега видели дельфинов, ската. В целом отель понравился. Из того, что нужно поправить: разнообразить меню в основном ресторане, усилить отработку от москитов (уж очень много).

Générosité : c'est le mot avec lequel je suis repartie du Dhigali après y avoir passé une semaine de rêve ! Très très bel hôtel ! Un hôtel 5 étoiles qui mériterait une mention supplémentaire dans son classement tant tout est pensé pour que le client se sente comme chez lui ! Pour moi c'est un 5 étoiles +++ C'est un All inclusive Premium (pas comme les All Inclusives "nanards" de la République Dominicaine) qui donne accès à tous les restaurants ! Une cuisine gouteuse, variée, (indienne, asiatique, maldivienne, italienne...), d'une très grande qualité, menée par un chef Français (le généreux Lionel, que je salue au passage !) . Je vous conseille d'aller dîner au Battuta : à tomber à la renverse (spécialité indienne, Sri Lankaise...). Le petit déjeuner est un buffet à vous faire tourner la tête : fruits, oeufs, saucisse, ragoûts, viennoiseries, salades, crêpes, fromages ... et encore je ne vous écris pas tout ! Que ce soit le personnel de chambre, les bars, la réception, les serveurs dans les restaurants, tous sont d'une gentillesse et d'une écoute qu'on n'a pas l'habitude de voir (même en France ! ). Des petites attentions qui font la différence ! Je n'ai jamais vu ça ! J'avais choisi une chambre bungalow donnant sur la plage (hyper propre) : top ! Salle de bain extérieure qui donne au séjour tout le charme de vacances exotiques. On sort de la chambre, on se baigne direct dans la mer (mer qui est un vrai aquarium ! Poissons de toutes les couleurs, de toutes les formes) Sans compter la végétation luxuriante et la jungle entretenue au cordeau par des jardiniers qui n'arrêtent pas ! Bref, vous l'aurez compris : C'est le paradis !

Fantastic resort!!! We are a family of 4 from Norway, who booked the trip via Maldivia Travels (Makai Travel) Great island where 80% of the original vegetation has been preserved. This makes the island feel genuine and untouched. Here you get the feeling of the authentic Maldives. The reception was very good. Several employees welcomed us on landing and followed us into the lounge where we were served a nice-smelling cold cloth to refresh ourselves. And a delicious welcome drink, before we were checked in and driven to the Beach Villa. Can recommend the Beach Villa. We stayed in 301 and it was, in our opinion, the nicest Villa. Fantastic tasty food. Good routines for food handling and all food is fresh. Freshly squeezed juices in ALL varieties. Loved the freshly squeezed orange juice. The premises are spotlessly clean. Magical and lovely SPA. I can really recommend the mother and daughter massage. Reef around the whole island with loads of different fish in all possible colors and shapes. We snorkeled every day. Silky soft coral sand. On this island you get EVERYTHING you could wish for. We tipped $10 to the cleaner, minibar restocker, for lunch and dinner every day. In the bars, we tipped for extra service. Highly recommend Dhigali!

Dhigali is the ultimate in food, service and relaxation. There is not one thing that we can fault. The choice of room selection, allows something for everyone. We had a beach villa with outside shower and bath. It was perfect for us, stepping out every morning into our private beach area at a few steps into the warm Indian Ocean. The staff anticipate your every need. They cannot do enough and nothing is too much trouble. The attitude and demeanour of the staff is warm and welcoming, making it seem like we were the only residents that mattered. Yet so unobtrusive. Dhigali is truly magical.

Wir hatten uns das Dhigali für unsere Flitterwochen ausgesucht. Die Insel sowie sämtliche Anlagen sind tadellos. Ganz besonders muss man hier das Personal loben, extrem hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Leider hatte ich innerhalb unseres Urlaubs eine Zahwurzelentzündung, jedoch ist auf der Insel immer ein Arzt zu sprechen (auch nachts), welcher auch Medizin bereitstellt. Zudem wurden wir (gegen nachträgliche Kosten) von Personal zu einem Krankenhaus bwgleitet, um weitere ärztliche Expertise hinzu zu ziehen. Auch dies war für uns alles andere als selbstverständlich. Wir haben während unsere Flitterwochen in einer Wasservilla genächtigt. Dies war einwandfrei und ist ein absolutes Erlebnis. Familien, vor allem mit jüngeren Kindern, würden wir raten auf die Strandbungalos auszuweichen. Grund dafür ist, dass auf dem Steg hinter den Wasservillas kein Geländer angebracht ist, was gerade mit jüngern Kindern nicht ganz ungefährlich ist. Kulinarisch kommt man hier voll auf seine Kosten. Das Buffet bietet eine große Auswahl an Gerichten und auch die Speisekarten der Restaurants sind gut bestückt. Restaurantbesuche müssen im Vorfeld reserviert werden. Wir empfehlen, die Reservierungen schnellstmöglich nach Anreise zu tätigen, da die Slots recht schnell ausgebucht sein können. Unser Favorit war der Besuch im Battuta (indisch). Wir können das Hotel, Personal und die Insel absolut weiterempfehlen!
