We went the The Residence Dhigurah in December 2023 for our belated honeymoon, and it was more than worth the wait. It is the most beautiful place, and we loved every second. The staff in particular were amazing, so friendly, helpful, professional and polite. Special mention to Hafiz and his team at The Dining Room Dhigurah (Walter, Sajith, Jony, Pavan and more) for being so attentive and nice. They remembered our names and villa number and order from the first day. All of these special touches meant you felt very looked after. The quality of the food and drinks was amazing. We took the Standard All Inclusive package which offered a huge menu of cocktails, spirits, wine, beer and more, which was a pleasant surprise. The buffet selections at breakfast and dinner were great, good choice for vegetarian and everything was labelled really well. The food stations where things were being cooked in front of you were great. We were so full that we often skipped lunch or just had a salad. We loved Cafe Del Sol for pre- or post-dinner cocktails and preferred the pool at Dhigurah island (although both are lovely). The staff at Cafe Del Sol were also fab and highly skilled and attentive. We loved having the bikes from the villa to get around both islands, and we didn’t often call a buggy, although this is an option if you don’t want to cycle. It was amazing being on one island but being able to cycle to the other to explore and see their pool, restaurant and bar. We ate in the other islands restaurant once for breakfast and dinner, but missed the staff and atmosphere at the Dhigurah Dining Room. We had an anniversary dinner at the Fulhumaa restaurant which was fantastic and well worth a visit (need to book). This was included in our Standard All Inclusive which we hadn’t realised but was a nice surprise. We also tried Li Bai where the Cantonese food was nice but was quite quiet on the day we went. In terms of activities, we tried paddle boarding and house reef snorkelling. We also booked the Sunset Dolphin cruise which is extra but really worth it in our opinion. We saw so many dolphins and the most amazing sunset, and nice to see the islands from afar. Would definitely recommend this. We enjoyed the photo shoot with Naif and have some nice photos to keep as a memory of the trip. My husband also did some diving with Amit and saw lots of turtles, sharks and sting rays. The quality of the villas on Dhigurah island was amazing. Beautiful decor. We had a sunrise water villa and everything was stunning. The trip back to the UK is long (with the extra domestic flight) but I guess that’s the price to pay to be in paradise. The resort organise all the transfers to Male so it is as smooth as possible. Overall, an amazing experience and a very special place. Highly recommend
