Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa

Excellent second visit to Anantara Dhigu Maldives This was our second time staying at Anantara Dhigu Maldives, and overall, the experience was excellent once again. Last year, we stayed in an Over Water Villa with a Sunset View, while this year we stayed in a Sunrise View villa. Both were beautiful, but personally, I would recommend the Sunset View, especially if you are considering the villa with the private swimming pool option. The sunset side felt more special and visually stunning. The views throughout the resort are absolutely beautiful. The water is a stunning turquoise color, and the island atmosphere feels peaceful, clean, and relaxing. One thing we really enjoyed is that the resort gives you access to different nearby islands, so you can walk around, explore, swim, and enjoy different areas throughout your stay. It makes the experience feel more open and adventurous, not just limited to one spot. The food throughout the resort was excellent, with a great variety of options. Breakfast was always top-tier, with many choices and consistently high quality. We also dined at Aqua, the Italian restaurant, three times during our stay, and every time the staff were excellent, welcoming, and very professional. Their service made our dinners more enjoyable, and we truly appreciated their kindness and attention. We also made a reservation at Sea.Fire.Salt, which is a bit pricey, but the food itself was definitely worth it. The restaurant has a beautiful overwater setting, and the food was around 9/10. However, the overall experience there was not the best because the staff did not feel very welcoming, and we did not feel completely comfortable during that dinner. One area that could be improved was the in-villa dining service. Unlike last year, the food took much longer than expected to arrive. The resort explained that this was due to the resort being fully occupied during our stay, so some delay was understandable. However, we ordered in-villa dining a couple of times, and on some occasions the food arrived cold and took a long time to reach us. This was not a major issue overall, but it is something that could be improved, especially for guests who prefer dining privately in the villa. Another area that could be improved is the kids club. The facility could benefit from a much larger space and more activities for children. It would also be helpful to have more trained staff, especially for younger children and babies. In some situations, particularly in the outdoor areas, it did not always feel like babies were receiving the level of attention and care expected from a resort of this quality. With better staffing, more structured activities, and closer supervision, the kids club could become a much stronger part of the family experience. A very special note goes to our personal assistant, Kadir, who helped us during the trip just like he did last year. He was thoughtful, organized our reservations, followed up with us, and made sure everything was in place. His support really made the stay smoother and more enjoyable. One moment that truly showed how much this resort cares about its guests happened on our way back to the airport. I forgot my backpack, which had my passport inside. The resort team had us wait comfortably in their airport lounge while they sent my backpack on another speedboat. They also helped us carry our luggage until everything was checked in. That level of care and quick response was truly impressive. All in all, it was a very, very excellent experience. We loved returning to Anantara Dhigu, and we would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and well-managed resort experience in the Maldives.

Our 4-day stay at Anantara was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was exceptionally well taken care of. The resort itself was beautiful, peaceful, and very well-maintained, with breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. A very special thanks to Mr. Kadir for his outstanding hospitality during these few days. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of the trip. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were truly remarkable. Whenever we needed assistance, he was always ready to help with a warm smile and genuine care. I would also like to give credit to the entire resort team for being so welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. Every staff member we met contributed to making this vacation smooth and memorable. Special thanks as well to the housekeeping team and our room attendant/butler, who ensured that our room was always clean, tidy, and refreshing twice a day. Coming back to a perfectly prepared room after activities was something we truly appreciated, and it made our stay even more comfortable and relaxing. The level of service we received honestly exceeded our expectations. If possible, I would give not 5 stars, but 10 out of 5 stars for the extraordinary hospitality and service provided by the team. Thank you once again to the entire team at Anantara for such a wonderful and memorable experience. We will definitely look forward to visiting again in the future!

Excellent stay really! What stood out most wasn’t just the beautiful scenery (which was amazing), but the people. From the very beginning, the Anantara team was incredibly responsive, thoughtful and attentive. The pre-arrival communication was smooth and personalised, and every question or request was answered promptly. Once we arrived, our host Kadir took great care of us throughout the stay. He helped coordinate everything, checked in on us regularly, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We never had to worry about logistics and could simply enjoy our holiday. We stayed in both a Beach Villa and an Over Water Villa. To our surprise, we were upgraded to a Beach Pool Villa, which was a lovely start to the trip. The overwater villa was exactly what I had imagined when planning a Maldives honeymoon — waking up to endless ocean views, jumping straight into the lagoon, and spending quiet moments on the deck. The attention to detail from the entire team was consistently impressive. Housekeeping kept our room spotless, well-stocked and beautifully prepared every day. A special thank you to Saneez for a thoughtful handwritten note on a leaf, which was a lovely personal touch. Personally, I preferred Dhigu as there seemed to be more to do, the rooms felt more spacious, and the views were incredible. We also enjoyed visiting Veli for its quieter atmosphere and dining options, as well as a snorkelling trip to Gulifushi. Three nights passed way too quickly. Visiting the Maldives had been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and it honestly felt surreal finally being here. The only thing I would change is staying longer. A heartfelt thank you to Kadir and the entire Anantara team for making our honeymoon so special and memorable. We left with wonderful memories and already miss the sea.

We visited for 5N with 8 months old baby. We were taken excellent care by every staff members. We had special request with regards to food requirements of the baby which were all well managed. The property is excellent with quite a few good restaurant options. I would surely recommend it.
