About Anantara Dhigu

Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort sits on Dhigufinolhu in South Malé Atoll, about 35 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport; we reach it by boat from our base. It shares a lagoon with sister islands Anantara Veli and Naladhu, linked by boat and walkway, and offers beach pool villas on a wide sandy shore and overwater bungalows along the lagoon edge. The open lagoon faces both sunrise and sunset, and the resort's family-friendly layout makes it a reliable choice for couples and families alike.
