    Beautiful Island and Amazing Diving
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    Bit of a walk to the nice parts of the beach, but then close to the dive centres.

    The room was nice and quite big. It was serviced and fresh towels were left every couple of days; they also provided additional towels for the beach which was a nice touch. Fridge was a nice extra touch to keep water cool. The staff, particularly the ladies in the restaurant, were very nice and friendly. The food was great and quite cost effective. I ate in several other places on the island but actually preferred here.

    Food options were rather limited, but it was very beginning of the season. The staff did their best to prepare what we liked the most.

    Comfortable and clean place in a quiet area of the island. Walking distance to bikini beach. Fantastic staff that accomodated all our wishes and gave us a lot of information about the island and the environment. Also worth recommending if you are into snorkeling or diving - apparently we got better prices than people on the boat (who booked directly), there was always someone from the hotel accompanying us and we got fantastic GoPro recordings of the shark whale that we met :)

    Fantastic Stay In Dhigurah
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    I stayed here for two days as part of my trip around the Maldives. The staff were incredible in every aspect and went above and beyond to do their best. Local information, tips, support and guidance could not have been better. The room was large and very spacious with a nice work station. There was an issue with the internet but it was resolved immediately which was great for me as a digital nomad connectivity is essential. The excursions were incredible organised and ran by the hotel and we got to see mantras and whale sharks. The trip to the sandbank is a MUST and I highly recommend taking the hotel shuttle for a few dollars unless you fancy the 1 hour walk in the sun. The food was great with very generous portions and I will happily stay here again should I return to Dhigurah

    We loved everything about the hotel and the island!

    This hotel is an amazing place for a couple! I will recommend it to everyone who wants to go to Dhigurah! Staff is very friendly and professional, Fairooz, the manager of the hotel, was answering our weird questions about the underwater creatures and the island’s bats! In terms of the food, we had a full board option, for breakfast, lunch and dinner we could decide one over usually three options proposed by a chef that day. The food was nice! For dinner there was also an option to decide either dessert or a starter and as a couple we usually were sharing the dessert and the starter. If we ever come back to Dhigurah would love to stay there again!

    Wow, we loved our stay in sands grand! The hotel is modern, clean, very green (lovely garden in the entrance), and over all inviting and joyful. Dhigurah is cute and walkable, so we felt that the hotel is close to the bikini beach and also some cafes. We loved walking all the way to the sandbar, it's great exercise! The island is not overly developed and it's quite green. We must say that Shaheen the manager of the hotel was just amazing, we instantly felt at home thanks to him. We loved chatting with him and learning about the island, maldivian culture, sustainability etc. He was very thoughtful and engaged and helped us organize some epic snorkle excursions and scuba diving trips. Overall highly recommended, and would love to come back to Dhigurah and sands grand hotel. Thank you Shaheen and team!

    To be fair, sometimes the mosquitoes were a "little" annoying eh eh! But the Hotel even had repellent at our disposal, and there were no mosquitoes at all inside our rooms, so I guess this does not count at all! :)

    The Hotel followed us up since arriving at Malé airport counter and picked us up at speedboat both ways. Hotel staff was exceptional, attending and very helpful showing what to do and where to go on the island. The room was very comfortable and the air conditioned kept a very good temperature inside the room all day. The meals had only 2 options but they were very well prepared, with very tasty local dishes varying each meal. They also organised 2 amazing excursions and we were guided by the Hotel manager personally all way. The Hotel manager was most kind, very attending and also most determined to show us the Whale Shark and to making us swimming among several Manta Rays. The experience of being at high sea guided with such care turned out to be most exceptional at all levels and made us feel very confident on our first snorkelling experience.
