Hidden within the pristine Gaafu Alifu Atoll, The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah offers more than just a postcard-perfect island retreat — it’s an invitation to explore, connect, and rediscover the joy of travel. Blending barefoot luxury with a spirit of adventure, this serene sanctuary inspires travelers to dive deep into the wonders of nature, local culture, and well-being.
Surrounded by one of the Maldives’ most vibrant marine ecosystems, Dhigurah is a dream for snorkelers and divers alike. The resort’s house reef sits just offshore, teeming with reef fish, turtles, and eagle rays. Guests can join guided snorkeling excursions or PADI-certified dive sessions to explore the atoll’s untouched coral gardens and hidden dive spots. Every underwater journey reveals a living kaleidoscope of marine life — a reminder of why the Maldives remains one of the world’s top diving destinations.
Adventure extends beyond the reef. Sunset dolphin cruises offer a glimpse of nature’s playful side, while big game fishing and sandbank picnics immerse guests in the rhythm of island life. For those who prefer to take it slow, gentle kayaking through the lagoon or a dhoni sail at dusk makes for a peaceful connection with the sea. Every experience is designed to balance thrill and tranquility.
At The Residence Dhigurah, the journey of discovery continues on land. The resort’s signature Earth Basket experience lets guests handpick herbs and vegetables from the island’s organic garden before joining a hands-on Maldivian cooking class. It’s a delicious way to connect with the island’s culture, sustainability ethos, and culinary artistry. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients bring Maldivian flavors to life — from spicy tuna curries to tropical desserts.
When it’s time to unwind, the Spa by Clarins and the island’s wellness programmes invite deep rejuvenation. Guests can join sunrise and sunset yoga sessions by the beach, blending movement and mindfulness with ocean views. The spa’s treatments, rooted in natural botanicals and holistic care, restore balance to body and mind — a gentle reminder that relaxation is an art form here.
Whether you’re chasing adventure or serenity, every moment feels personal, natural, and effortlessly luxurious.
