What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Little things, like the style of the place, grass-roofed on the outside and unpretentious on the inside — spare, clean-lined, but not overly serious or reverent.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dhigufinolhu sits thirty minutes by boat from Malé, surrounded by outer reef surf breaks and uninhabited picnic islands with sea swings.
The rooms
Beach villas feature light ivory tones, traditional Maldivian terrace swings, and open-air garden courtyards with deep soaking tubs.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A beachfront infinity pool opens onto the sand spit, and the gym includes an outdoor boxing ring.
The spa
Glass floor panels beneath the massage tables look straight into the clear lagoon water below.
At the table
Sea.Fire.Salt grills fresh catch over Himalayan salt blocks, and Baan Huraa serves Thai dishes out over the water.
