Overview

 
A stylish, family-friendly island resort in South Malé Atoll, set on a long lagoon shared with its sister resorts. Anantara Dhigu offers beach and overwater villas, an infinity-edge pool, an Anantara Spa, tennis and plenty of water sports – with the bonus of dining across neighbouring islands, all reached by speedboat from the airport.

A wide turquoise lagoon, palm-shaded beach villas and water villas on stilts: Dhigu is easy-going luxury with plenty to do. Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort is on Dhigufinolhu in South Malé Atoll, around 35 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. It shares a vast lagoon with its sister resorts, so guests can hop across by boat to try more restaurants and bars. See more Maldives holidays.

Map & location

  • Velana International Airport (MLE) about 35 minutes by speedboat
  • Malé about 40 minutes by speedboat
  • Sister-resort islands a few minutes by boat
  • Dive and snorkel sites short boat trips
  • Approx. transfer time from airport about 35 minutes by speedboat from Velana International (MLE), included in our holiday packages.
