Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best resort...food awsome"

Lonuhiri at Dhigurah

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional hotel with the friendliest of staff from the ones that greet you initially with a cool towel and a drink all the way to the staff on reception and those who clean the rooms. The hotel is ran fantastically. The rooms were beautiful especially the sea view deluxe triple with a bath! The hotel couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. If you are going to Dhigurah stay here."

LUX* South Ari Atoll

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel. Staff are always amazing and attentive. Very friendly. So helpful. There nothing they won’t do if it’s possible. So child friendly. Rooms are lovely. Spacious and clean. Activities and food are great."

Angaga Island Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Very small island. Not much variety in food choices. Almost same menu everyday. Mostly German tourists come here. Good diving and snorkeling spots all around. Difficult to get hot water for shower. Would not visit again."

Lily Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great room, great staff. Lovely buffet and other restaurants. Snorkelling was fantastic!"

Vilamendhoo Maldives Resort Island

10/10 Excellent

"It was an incredible holiday. Staff were all so friendly, food was excellent, accommodation was wonderful and the house reef was incredible! Loved every minute and hope to be back one day!"

Dive and Sleep - All Inclusive Diving Guesthouse - 3 Dives per day

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Dive and Sleep and would highly recommend it to all divers. Nothing was too much trouble for Jarda and the team and they made it a stress free and memorable trip. The rooms were clean, modern, had great bathrooms and cold air con. The chefs cooked 3 delicious and healthy meals a day with enough food to fuel and sustain the 3 dives a day. Self serve access to as much water, soft drink, tea and coffee as you please. The covered communal / dining area was a great space to relax and chat with other divers. There is also sunscreen and insect spray (a few mosquitoes but not too bad). The local island feels really safe and the locals are very friendly. It a very sleepy island with limited facilities (there is a small shop and pharmacy). The island has amazing sunset spots and a great house reef for snorkeling. Finally, the diving was fantastic with a diverse range of dive sites and marine life. 3 dives a day (2 morning, 1 afternoon) with enough time to relax and recover afterwards. Water temperature was warm enough in February that we could dive in shorts and a rashie (28-29 Celsius). All equipment we hired was in good condition. It’s great value for money and Jarda is a fantastic host. We will definitely return!"

Beach Hotel Dhigurah

10/10 Excellent

"Extraordinary stay at beach hotel Dhigurah. From pick up to drop off it was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Starting off with the staff/management. They went above and beyond to help you, probably some of the hardest workers we have seen during our travels. From dusk to dawn these people are working hard and always have a huge smile on their face and go out of their way to greet you at all hours of the day. They are so well organized from pick up at the airport, boat ride to the island, transfer to the hotel and during our stay it was hassle free. Isham (the manager) was there to greet us upon arrival at the hotel. He gave us information about the island and exchanged WhatsApp’s so if we had any questions during our stay he would help us (which we did and he always responded quickly!) he organized, along with his staff excursions for whale shark snorkeling (which we were lucky to see !) fishing (which they cooked our catch the next day) scuba diving and even our sea plane back to Male ("
