The loveliest stay on an incredible Island
This hotel is incredible. From the golf cart pickup on my arrival right up until they waved me goodbye on my departure boat, the whole team were friendly, welcoming and just a pure joy. The hotel itself is modern and clean with all the required facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. The food at the restaurant is also great! This will surely be my home in Dhigurah from now on, an island which I now plan to visit many many times!

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here for 5 nights, we were welcomed by the manager and other staff on arrival - they helped us with everything from arranging speedboat transfers for arriving and leaving the island to booking excursions. The hotel and rooms were nice and modern and had everything we needed, the buffet breakfast was nice and had different choices each day. The location was perfect, a 5 min walk to a beautiful quiet bikini beach, we also had transport to take us to the sandbank at the bottom of the island. We went on an excursion to snorkel with manta rays, the boat captain and guide were friendly and service was great. The island itself is quite small so everywhere is walkable, there’s a lot of wildlife to see on land and in the sea and everyone is friendly. I would choose to stay here again.
