Whaleshark Beach

Dhigurah

Boasting a garden, Whaleshark Beach is situated in Dhigurah in the Ari Atoll region, 100 metres from Dhigurah North West Beach. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and a lift, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. Where to even begin… our stay at Whale Shark Beach is one we will not forget. The staff were so accommodating and friendly for our entire stay. They always welcomed us back from our excursions or just afternoons out on the beach and always wanted to know what we had done that day. The food was immaculate and we ended up eating at the hotel every night so we could keep trying things off the menu. The rooftop dining area is especially lovely, it’s nice to be able to see the stars during the evening. The excursions team were absolutely incredible. We saw dolphins, turtles, various reefs and had an unforgettable experience swimming with manta rays. The team were also incredibly generous and allowed us to join two additional manta ray and whale shark trips for no additional cost after we had not seen them initially. The boat was well equipped and the team were incredibly focussed on guest safety in the water as well as enjoyment. Another key thing that we applaud the excursions team on is ensuring the safety and well being of the wild animals we saw whilst out on the sea. The boat engine was immediately turned off as soon as we saw dolphins and they kept a good distance away instead of chasing and harassing the animals. Additionally, prior to one of our whale shark tours we were briefed on how to swim with the animal safely and were reminded that if anyone tried to touch or swim to close to the animal they would be removed from the water. As someone who works in marine animal conservation, I applaud the team at Whale Shark Beach for putting the animals first and ensuring that both them and the guests could have a safe and enjoyable experience. The room was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’d ever slept in and very spacious. The television also had smart options available to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime which was a big bonus.

Unwind Dhigurah

Dhigurah

A recently renovated guest house in Dhigurah and within a few steps of Dhigurah North West Beach, Unwind Dhigurah features a private beach area, comfortable soundproof rooms and free WiFi. Located on the beachfront, this property has an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service. We had a wonderful stay at Unwind Dhigurah for 8 nights with my wife. The service by manager Nilanka and the team was exceptional. We felt like at home all the time. We were taken care of, fed and entertained by the team. All our requests were solved immediately and to the maximum. I think this is a perfect stay on the small local island Dhigura. Service and coziness you'll get there is unparalleled. The location is perfect — the hotel is the closest to the bikini beach (10 minutes walking) and to the sand bank (40 min walking). There are many good restaurants around the hotel (Saavaa, Dhiguveli), several super-markets, activities (kayaks, paddle board, etc). We took a day trip snorkeling from the hotel, the crew was great, and we saw 3 Manta Rays (fantastic creatures!). There are travel blogs on YouTube, which we used to select the island and this hotel. I think Dhigurah is considered one of the best options among local island and we can definitely recommend it. It was one of the best vacations for us, we totally refreshed. Thank you, Nilanka and the team for this paradise!

Finolhu Dhigurah

Dhigurah

The guest house serves a continental and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At the property, there is an on-site restaurant serving dinner and a selection of vegetarian options. First of all, this hotel is in the best location on the island. The hotel itself is very comfortable, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier or more accommodating. The hotel owner took care of everything, made it easy, and gave free lunch and dinner. It was a magical experience. This one has become my favorite of all the islands in the Maldives that I’ve been to. You feel like you’re on your private island without the resort island price tag. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel, the staff, or this island. If you come here, you will never want to leave.

Green Leaf Guest House - Omadhoo

Omadhoo

Situated in Omadhoo, Green Leaf Guest House - Omadhoo offers 3-star accommodation with a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. From the unexpected pick-up and greeting when our ferry arrived until our departure on a speedboat, Naif did everything he could to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Our bags were taken to the hotel while Naif walked us over and gave us welcome coconuts and then a little tour of the island. He arranged to have an umbrella and two lounge chairs just for us on the beach. We left at 6:55am, before breakfast, but he packed to go boxes for us. So thoughtful! Naif checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was going well. Everybody on the staff was helpful,, welcoming and friendly. The unlimited drinking water and loaner fins for snorkeling were other nice touches. The room was large, very clean and comfortable mattress. The large circular loungers outside the room were great when you weren't at the beach. The excellent breakfast varied slightly each day but had eggs, toast, fruit, coffee and roti. I would highly recommend staying at Green Leaf Guesthouse!
