Dhigufinolhu Island Honeymoon | Anantara

Introducing Dhigufinolhu Island, South Malé Atoll

Awaken to the sound of rippling waves, spend a lazy morning on your private sundeck over the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean or take a plunge in your private infinity-edge pool at Anantara Dhigu Resort on Dhigufinolhu Island.

Kayak to a desert island for a seafood and champagne luncheon, go sailing, enjoy water skiing thrills, fly in a sea plane or go game fishing for tuna. Enjoy a magical sunset on a traditional dhoni fishing boat while cruising alongside playful dolphins.

Anantara Resort is PADI certified and offers open water dive courses in one of the world's premier diving destinations, with more than 20 dive sites a short boat ride away.

Take a long soak in your private terrazzo tub lined with orchids – there’s room for two! Plunge in your glittering pool or head to your own stretch of powder-white sands.

At sunset, settle into moments of pure romance while sipping champagne in the privacy of your stylish villa and later choose between the two islands of Veligandu Huraa (Palm Tree Island) and Dhigufinolhu for an array of fine dining options.

Dhigufinolhu Island is located on South Malé Atoll, 21km away and a 35-minute speedboat trip from Malé International Airport.
