Anantara Dhigu
Menu
Positioned on stunning Dhigufi nolhu Island, on the South Malé Atoll, guests at Anantara Dhigu Resort enjoy a true tropical island paradise amidst the crystal blue waters of the lagoon.
Miles of powdery, white sand, fringed with lush, emerald-green vegetation and a gentle tropical breeze await you. With a plethora of land and water-based activities there’s plenty to do for guests of all ages. A comprehensive children’s club is also available with a wealth of activities and programmes available. This family-friendly resort has its own ‘picnic island’, with Instagrammable sea swings and beach hammocks, and an overwater spa with glass panels under the treatment beds. It also shares a lagoon with two other Anantara properties – Veli and Naladhu – giving guests access to numerous restaurants, bars and activities.

Facilities & Activities
Maldivian-style décor blends into the natural surroundings, while overwater villas, restaurants and spas make the most of the Indian Ocean views.
Active guests can sign up for a whole range of activities, including yoga, tennis, beach games and surfing (one of the few spots to offer this in the Maldives) before indulging in coconut-based treatments at the Dhigu Spa or cooking classes in the chef’s garden.
Water babes will salivate over the activity menu on offer – snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, kitesurfing, parasailing, sunset fishing and big game fishing are all possibilities. If you want to go underwater, into the effervescent depths of the Maldives you’re in good hands with the Aquafanatics Dive Centre, with certified experienced divers who can help beginners through to certified divers hoping to experience something unique and different. There’s a comprehensive range of PADI courses available. The Aquafanatics Diving Centre follows Maldivian diving regulations and dives no further than 30 metres.
If a little pampering is more your thing, the Anantara Spa is a soothing temple of holistic therapies and treatments designed to revitalise and relax the body and mind.

Dining
There’s no shortage of dining options at Anantara Dhigu and the sister resorts around the lagoon. Guests can choose from half-board or full-board, giving you plenty of chance to sample the menus at the 4 island restaurants.
Beachfront Fushi Café serves an international breakfast buffet alongside made-to-order eggs, waffles and Asian noodles; pool bar Aqua is all about cocktails and casual bites such as burgers and salads; Sea.Fire.Salt is perched over the lagoon and specialises in freshly caught Maldivian fish and grilled meats; and Terrazzo is an authentic Italian eatery. Alternatively, take a quick pontoon ride across the lagoon to sister resort Anantara Veli for one of the best Thai meals you’ll experience in the Maldives at Baan Huraa, or try theatrical teppanyaki at modern Japanese restaurant Origami.

There are opportunities for guests to sponsor a coral, this means planting a coral fragment on a rope with a marine biologist, once the coral has grown it will be moved to one of the snorkelling trails.
Prices:
Sponsorship only – USD 185
Sponsorship & Planting – USD 247
