Map & location
Dhigufinolhu, South Malé Atoll, Maldives
South Malé Atoll lies just south of the capital, so transfers are by speedboat rather than seaplane. Dhigu sits on a large, shallow lagoon, perfect for paddling, kayaking and kitesurfing, with coral reefs on its edge.
Sister resorts on neighbouring islands share the lagoon, and boat trips go to dive sites, sandbanks and local islands.
- 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.
