Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort

Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort Dhigufinolhu, South Malé Atoll, Maldives This laid-back luxe resort, with a short transfer, is set in its own sky blue lagoon in the South Malé Atoll with an array of restaurants (you can also head to neighbouring island Anantara Veli for dinner), plenty of active pursuits and an overwater spa.

Villas with thatched roofs and contemporary interiors are located over the water or just a stone’s throw from the beach and you can choose accommodation that enjoys sunrise or sunset views. The gorgeous Family Villas are ideal for those with children as they come with two bedrooms. It is the perfect place to just soak up the atmosphere in an idyllic setting but there is also plenty to keep the more adventurous entertained with all manner of water sports, including kayaking, sailing and fantastic diving with a wide range of courses for all levels. Budding chefs can enjoy a cooking lesson and sample Maldivian cuisine in the Chef’s Garden. You will find gourmet restaurants with a relaxed ambience including Sea. Fire. Salt. which offers a trendy alfresco wooden deck and freshly caught seafood delicacies or steaks. There’s even a salt selection from around the world and a resident Salt Guru to assist you in your choice. Terrazzo with its Italian cuisine or Origami with its exciting show of Teppanyaki cooking are both well worth a visit. The Kids’ Club is open to children from age three (unusual for the Maldives) and housed in a beautiful Dhoni, a traditional boat.

The overwater spa is staffed by massage therapists trained by Anantara to a very high standard. Luxuriate in a unique massage where the glass floor means you can be amazed by the sight of small reef sharks and rays while being pampered. There’s also morning meditation, yoga, a gym with the latest tech and a tennis court.
