Situated in Dhigurah, Boutique Beach All Inclusive Diving Hotel offers beachfront accommodation 50 metres from Dhigurah North West Beach and features various facilities, such as an open-air bath, a garden and barbecue facilities. Featuring a private beach area, the 4-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Staying at this hotel in Dhigurah was truly exceptional. It exceeded everything we hoped for — especially for those passionate about diving. Every single day, there’s a different diving program carefully planned by an outstanding team of professional and knowledgeable instructors. They know exactly what they’re doing and always take guests to new dive spots, focusing on unique experiences and the chance to see a variety of marine life. What makes it even more special is how the team creates a great group atmosphere. They encourage everyone to interact, creating a fun, collaborative, and friendly environment among guests. Every evening, they screen a video recap of the day’s dive — filmed and edited by the crew — which is such a nice way to relive the experience and connect with fellow divers before dinner. It’s also when they brief the next day’s adventure, building anticipation in the best way. The boat crew is also amazing – they’re highly skilled at finding whale sharks and other sea creatures, and their dedication to making sure guests have the best possible experience is unmatched. They’re truly a reference on the island when it comes to diving expertise. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of thoughtful details. The hospitality and service were outstanding throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the open-air bathroom – it’s such a unique experience to shower surrounded by nature. And the food? Absolutely the best we had in the Maldives. From the moment we arrived, they asked about dietary restrictions and then surprised us every day with a different, delicious menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every meal felt like it was made with care and creativity. We can’t recommend this place enough – for the hospitality, the incredible diving, the amazing instructors and crew, and the overall experience. Just perfect from beginning to end.

Located on the outskirts of North Ari Atoll, Gangehi Island Resort & Spa features a diving school, spa, and a long sand bank. It offers rooms situated over water, on the beach, or within tropical gardens. A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.
