Our take

Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort combines genuine luxury with one of the most versatile activity lists in South Malé Atoll. Villas over the water or on the sand, many with plunge pools, sit beside a house reef, and surf, diving and a full spa are on hand. A short speedboat transfer and a 9.5 score make it an easy recommendation for couples and families; travellers wanting total seclusion may prefer a smaller island.

  • ✓Consider booking a villa with a private plunge pool for an enhanced sense of privacy and luxury.
  • ✓Take advantage of the resort's house reef for snorkeling; it's easily accessible and full of marine life.
  • ✓Explore the various dining options available across the resort to experience diverse culinary delights.

Anantara Dhigu suits families whose members want different things. Teenagers can surf the nearby breaks or dive, younger children can snorkel the house reef from the beach, and parents can book the spa.
